Grand-mom helped Cody hunt for eggs

Cody got to have attend the MDO Easter egg hunt, he had some much fun running around with his class mates and grand-mom looking for eggs.  This is the 1st year that he really got into it and had so much fun. Only problem was that before we could do anything else with the eggs he was taking them apart and eating the candy out of them.

Sledding with friends

They had so much fun together

 We took them sledding on the overpasses

 Love the way this looked as Kori directed the sled down 

 Love the smile on her face as she experienced sledding for the 1st time

Kori waiting for the next wave to start

We had some awesome snow that blocked my suburban in for 2 days so we got the 4x4 Bronco out and took the kids sledding.  They have never sled down overpasses so this was a new experience for Shaleigh and the 1st time for Cody to go sledding.  The smile on their faces was worth going up again and again.  Thanks to Kori and Hayden who provided the sleds we were able to take them out and enjoy the snow in a whole new way.  

Granddad even got out with us and enjoyed the snow with us.  We went to two different overpasses and they had so much fun.  We have been blessed with wonderful moisture and some awesome friends.

Pig fun w/the Berry family

 Shaleigh and Katilynn

 All the kids: Sterling, Shaleigh, Cody, Cody, and Katilynn

 The pigs loved Cody and kept nibbling on his coat

 Shaleigh brushing the pigs

 The kept following Cody around

I took the kids out to the Berry farm so that maybe Shaleigh could get over her fear of pigs.  It seemed to work well.  She didn't mind brushing them.  These two pigs followed Cody everywhere and wouldn't leave him alone.

We went down to spend the weekend with Dan's family the 1st of Dec.  The cousins all got together and had fun at the park and we got to see everyone and enjoyed the visit.  It is not often that they all get to play together and they love to do this.
