Hangin' with Cory

Mt. Baker

Gavin had so much fun in the snow! I never thought a kid could be so happy being cold and wet






Maxx eating the snow, i was all white







BUSTED!


After dinner, Venna got caught red handed eating the left over mashed potatoes. The apple did not fall far from the tree, i was resisting the same urge. It was particularly cute to see such a small girl with such a large spoon and bowl
