Putting up the Christmas decorations

Putting the Angel on the top. This is our first real Christmas tree. It was about 8ft tall and smelt so good!

Helping Mom!

Brayden accidentally put on Avery's pants.....???

Even Harley gets into the spirit!

Our first snow of the year!

We didn't have a drop of snow until 11/29 which set a record for Denver.

Wow sis, look at the snow!

Here I go!

Oh, and there I went! A little cold!Just a little deep for me.

Yeah, I would say it's cold too.

But I like it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Heather, Brayden, Tom and Avery @ the Howard's for Thanksgiving

Our neighbor's were moving and gave us this jeep for free. It just needed a $17 part to make it work and it's been the best thing for Brayden.

He's a driving machine!

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!

November 15th, 2008 Joel's grandparent's, Mary and Jerry Meyer celebrated 50 years of marital bliss in Wapheton, ND at the Vet's at a party thrown by their two children. It turned out to be a wonderful event and the guys were able to get out of the field for the day to enjoy it :) Congratulations to you and we love you!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Little Sweetie!!

Getting ready for my Big Day!

Wow, I can't believe that our little girl turned one! It's amazing how fast time has flown by. She is really quiet the little sweetie. She always has the biggest smile on her face and just lights up our life. Right now, she's into everything! Walking, running, climbing, you name it she tries to do it. I am pretty sure she's just trying to keep up with big brother :)

On her birthday, Saturday, we had our family from out here over (Howards and Lindigs) and Kim, Anthony, and Teya. Avery was so excited that it was her birthday. We had a "Happy Birthday" sign up since Brayden's birthday and she's always pointing at it and I believe trying to say Happy Birthday. Every time she says it, it sounds the same. So....she does! But she would just beam when you'd say it to her and she LOVED her cake!

Here are some pictures from the big day and from the rest of the week!

Avery in her little Princess hat eating supper

Seeing her cake for the first time! She was so excited she dipped her hands in it!

Wow, that cake looks Yummy!
We had to relight the candles a few time b/c Brayden wanted to help blow them out!

This is so good!

OK, I have had enough!

Present time! Mom, LOOK, I got my first purse!

I love my new dolly and stroller!Argh, I am a pirate!

Bath time is always fun time!

I love my new kitty towel from my MN friend Annie!

Brayden loves his new froggy towel too! Thanks Leventhals!!

I found Mom's keys and I am trying to run away with them!

Avery was being so silly. I told her to lick her plate clean....and she really did!

I love my Harley! Pretty sure the feeling is not mutual here.
