Coop had a great time and is now thinking he might want to try a karate class :)

A few winter pictures...one of our few snowfalls..

I love my auntie!

 Pillow fight!

 Avery and Cooper were throwing the pink ball back and forth over Mallory's head while she played :)

 Yeah!  Grandma Palmer got me the new Hess truck!

 Matching headphones--too bad it's too cold for the tractor :)

 Miss Mallory

 Heated game of Uno!

 The girls taking a break reading in the big chair.

We also had a wonderful time in Canastota for Kiehle Christmas and NYE, but I managed to take absolutely no pictures.  I will try to get some from Dad and Adri.

Swedish Christmas

We had a great time as usual in Niskayuna for Swedish Christmas.  Here is Pop Pop with his six great grandchildren :)

 Our two cuties!

 Awe!

 The boys

 Four Cousins

 A little birthday surprise party for Avery the next day!

 Avery LOVES her time with her cousins.

 American Girl!

Avery's Birthday Party

Avery had a few friends over to celebrate her 9th birthday.  We had an American Girl theme and the girls all made crafts and had a great time.

A Fall Saturday

 Cooper had his last soccer game today.  As he has done almost every week, he refused to participate at first.  As you can tell from the hats and gloves--it was chilly this morning.

 Once they started the game, he decided to play.  Every week he would get out there and have fun--and he is good!  He is fast and he can dribble and shoot the ball!

Goal!

 Good game boys!

The whole team.

 Last Saturday we were shoveling.  Today we were raking and jumping in the leaves--much better way to spend a fall Saturday.
