Winter begins

Parker, Anndra, and Ada enjoying the first snow:

Of course, with the snow (and the bitter cold temperatures that followed) came the need to invent creative indoor fun:

storage bin games are always a hit with these three

yoga! (during Ada's naps)

chin-up bar silliness

everybody's favorite winter-time 'sport' - fort building

A few pics from before the snow hit:

Parker's b-day, Halloween, and more

Parker is 12!

twelve 'fuses' in a Minecraft dynamite cake

one gift was an additional set of these magnet triangles he loves

Halloween

Anndra dressed up as a pirate princess

Lincoln's friend from primary dressed as Optimus Prime too

Parker dressed up as an Enderman from Minecraft

he towered over everyone else on his stilts
