Callie say's "Ho Ho Ho!"

I've always felt kind of guilty that Callie doesn't get the bulk of the picture space in this blog since she's kind of a cutie, so I figured I'd throw out some recent pictures, mostly of her. The highlight of this is the following video which was taken at Michael's (a craft store) last week. It's pretty common knowledge that when you spend an hour at Michael's, you've gotta get creative with your entertainment. Callie chose the "run laps around the store" method.

We'll keep this update simple and limit it mostly to pictures and the video since there's so much good holiday stuff going on this weekend. Have a great weekend everyone!

A pretend race car? Also, did you know "race car" is a palindrome?

I want a pony!

Callie didn't quite make it all the way up

All that sliding is exhausting!

Christmas Trees and Stuff

Friends!

Cohen says:

Ho Ho Ho! Merrrr-y Christmas! No seriously, I say that all the time. It's kind of my thing. But seriously, happy holidays! I've been trying to get daddy to upload pictures for a blog for weeks now. Let's just say that he now knows that he might wake up with a horse head in his bed if his part in this blog series isn't a little more timely. Enough said?

Hold my hand, Co-coooo?

Just a boy walking down the road of life..

What's new you ask? Well, as you might have deduced from the pictures above, we got our christmas tree the other day. Since the weekends have been mighty busy, we decided to challenge the rainstorms this week and head out into the country after work. We lost. Well, daddy lost mostly. After about 45 minutes of ugly trees (no, not the "did you fall out of the ugly tree" kind), we found OUR tree and at exactly the same time, the rain found us. Mommy, Callie and I ran back to the car while daddy chop chop CHOPPED down the tree and got in the car during an El Nino (or is it La Nina) monsoon. I thought it was funny.

I got offered a football scholarship for the class of 2025

Does this Chris Polk impersonation bring nightmares to you Coug fans?

What else is new? Lots of stuff I guess. We've got plenty of birthdays, camping/road trips, and general sillyness from some upcoming Belated Blog posts, so this update will mostly be about the last week. I thought that the Apple Cup might be worth an update all of it's own, but I'll take the high road and just say "Go Huksies! Go Jake Yocker!" Anyone wanna take me to San Diego for the Holiday Bowl? I'm potty-trained (mostly...)

Family Picture!

Me and "my girls". They apparently don't watch America's Next Top Model

Last night, we went to Emma and Eden's (also know as "my girls) Christmas program at school. Their class did a Christmas tree theme with music and poems. It was really cool!

After that, we went to Mimi and Papa's house for dinner and for some classic old timey christmas pictures. I must say they turned out great, even if I was the only one fashionable enough to wear velvet pants. Yes, velvet! Sidenote: don't pee your pants when wearing velvet.

SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW!

I wasn't gonna wait for the snow to accumulate

Last but not least, it obviously snowed a bit in the last few weeks. I, of course, have seen snow and was very calm and mature about it, but Callie hadn't seen it before and she was giddy and impatient. Don't let mommy and daddy (or the pictures in this blog) tell you otherwise.

As I said, Daddy got an ultimatum, so while this is all we have for this update, there better darn well be more coming. Take that to the bank. Granted, I'm not sure what the bank will do with that information - probably look at you weird. Merry Christmas!
