Winter is here...

We were lucky this year and the snow held off until just last week. But it seems to be making up for lost time because it is FREEZING COLD. Seriously. Growing up in Idaho and Northern Utah we are used to cold winters - the main difference between those winters and Michigan winters is the WIND. The wind here is so terribly cold. But that didn't stop Nora from playing outside for over an hour. This girl loves playing in the snow!
And just for fun here is some photo documentation of one of Miles' very favorite things to do. Get into the bathroom and put lotion all over his noggin. Then he comes walking out with this irresistible smile on his face like he's trying not to laugh and walks up to me all casual like to see if I notice. It's happened more than a few times... let's just say his head is super moisturized!
And here is his look after the lotion gets all rubbed in. Maybe he is trying to tell me he wants me to spike his hair like I used to?
like this?

If you haven't tried this scrumptious doughnut recipe - here it is again! I made these for our ward Christmas party. They were so yummy. You must try them (this is a doubled batch).

Oh, and one more thing. Just in case you weren't convinced of my erratic and fickle behavior - I took Miles out of the toddler bed and into the crib! He was doing a great job staying in bed when it was time but he was kicking the wall over and over again during the night, and rolling out of the bed in his sleep - which of course would wake me up every time. So to make my life easier I put him in the crib. Luckily, he had been sleeping in the pack 'n play since birth until we moved him to the toddler bed, so putting him in the crib wasn't like a step back to him - in fact he thinks the crib is pretty cool. And I totally agree.

Oh the wind, the bane of my winter existance!

I'm picturing Miles walking up to you with lotion all over his head trying not to laugh, and it's impossible for me not to laugh!

Now I'll probably have to try those donuts...they look too yummy to resist!

I have tried those donuts and they are so good. Although, mine don't look as good as yours. That is pretty funny about Miles! And Nora looks like she loves the snow! Cute kids.

Can't wait to be in the cold with you! Nora looks so darn cute I love her smile it makes me smile too! That little Miles boy is so grown up. I quite like his hair all lotion-ed up. I think you should fix it that way! I can just see him doing that and being so quiet! Love ya all.

Cute pics! I love the orange wall! I just bought Olive a princess bed for Xmas... I think maybe I should have thought about it longer but she was so excited! Maybe I won't give it to her yet. But she keeps saying Santa is bringing her one! What to do what to do...
