More Christmas Pictures

Lauren had fun helping with the Christmas tree this year. She was such a trooper and listened really well when I asked her not to touch the ornaments. The only thing she really wanted were the candy canes I put on there. The girl loves peppermint!

She was very into the wrapping this year. She liked to sit on my lap to help me with the tape. She constantly asked for "more tape more tape."

My little peanut sitting with her stack of wrapping paper. She grabbed her Little Mermaid book and "read" to me while playing in the paper.

We've gotten our fair share of snow on the mountain this winter. It's truly gorgeous up here in the winter. I love looking down into the valley on days when it's crystal clear. It sure it pretty up here! 

Last year, Lauren was not a fan of the snow. See....

But this year was different. She's been screaming "Snow Mommy Snow!" multiple times a day. She has enjoyed going out on the deck and just walking around with her sweet puppy. Anything Lauren does, Belle does too.

After freezing outside, we like to come in for some hot chocolate. It's definitely my favorite drink to have during the winter.

My 2 peas in a pod. I like how Lauren practically puts her face in the cup. And yes, those are mini pumpkins in the background. Fall and winter decorations all in one :) I'm happy to report that they are gone now. I saved them to do a painting project with Lauren but ended up just throwing them away. 

Here is a video of Lauren at her school Christmas program. She wanted nothing to do with her class. She wanted to stand next to the big kids.

Millwoods: This video is of Lauren spotting her new presents from you. She decided to help me wrap them. She was super excited about the wrapping process!
