Around the house

Vacuuming with his new vacuum we got from Target the day after Thanksgiving. It’s very handy for little messes from little (and big) people!

 

Guess which company his grandfather works for and his father plays for?

      

Coloring with MARKERS!!!! And all dressed up for church.

WEBERS FAMILY FRIENDS!!

The Webers came to visit for our tradition, Thanks-friend-ing. They came the week after Thanksgiving and stayed with us. It was sooooo nice to have them here and we miss them so much!

Reading with Funcle Josh. Josh taught Coen to watch TV from one foot away. He puts the “fun” in “funcle” (Funcle = fake+uncle)

So much love.

Coen’s Tent & Naptime Crabbies

Coen actually wasn’t in a bad mood when he woke up from his nap, he just looked very serious as he sat in his tent. But still cute, of course.

Blue Marker

I wonder what Coen found and stuck in his mouth……

      

Shaken, Not Stirred

Vilski/Burmeister Classy Poker Party 2010

We stayed in for a fun night of poker and trying dirty martinis. Justin & Mitch preferred normal ones with no olives. Weirdos.

Justin won the poker game. He earned all of our respect by doing so, but no cold hard cash.

Thanksgiving & Day After

We had Thanksgiving with some friends. This is Maria & Bud Laude. They’re from Kansas.

Sam, Justin, & Jason (whose apartment we were at)

Kayla (married recently to Justin)

Eating homemade whipped cream. Yum!

Justin had a long shift at Target for the day after Thanksgiving sale so Coen and I set up and decorated the Christmas tree.

He did a good job of leaving the ornaments and garland alone. Occasionally he would take an ornament off then try to put it back on, but nothing compared to Gnarles the cat. : )

Oh, the Snow

I know I haven’t posted in over a month. I apologize. I looked back to see the last time I wrote anything and saw the small dusting of snow that I wrote about. December was the fifth highest snowfall recorded here (or something like that) with over FORTY INCHES OF SNOW. Ridiculous. Here are some photos of it. Bleck.

Some pretty ice on our front tree.

Coen enjoyed being thrown into the snow bank by Mitch. He made a small “uff” sound when he hit each time but then was all grins and said “again”.

So much snow! This was even before we got another 10 or so inches. It wasn’t even suitable for sledding; once you stepped in you sunk in up to your thigh. Some has melted due to one 40 degree day we had a while ago.
