New Years Eve at the Paulson's

For new years eve we watched Kya and Kiana and the girls had a BLAST! We made brownies, ran around, screamed, rode on scooters and ride ons, jumped in the bounce house, ate pizza, ate brownie sundaes, celebrated the new year with a 7 pm count down by banging pots and pans, blowing noise makers and drinking apple cider. The kids all had a great time!! Here are some pictures from the chaos!

Happy 2009!!

Well another year has come and gone and what a remarkable year it has been for the Paulson's! We introduced a new member Tristan Thomas Paulson to our family. He is the sweetest baby boy and we absolutely adore him. Tori started her first year of pre school, is potty trained, she has learned hundreds of new words and concepts and is one of the funniest, sassiest most amazing little girls. We are really happy to be home in Seattle and our so greatful for the friends and family in our lives. My only major complaint about 2008 is that it went by soooooooooooooo fast!! I am looking forward to a much slower paced 2009 and enjoying every day with my amazing hubby and kids!

Poo Poo the snow blob

So because of the ice on top of all the snow we were not able to make a proper snowman instead we made a snpw blob (Tori still had a great time). Tori named him poo poo he does resemble a pile of poo pretty well. We gave him raisen eyes and mouth and a carrot nose. Here are some pics of our snow blob.

SNOW DAY

So today the snow came and came and came some more. The good news-- the kids sure liked playing in it! We had a snow ball fight, made angels, ate snow and just messed around. Here are some pics

Christmas Cookie Playdate

Yesterday we had a few of Tori's friends over for a cookie playdate. It was so much fun. We made three different types of cookies-- sugar cookies, candy cane cookies, and peanutbutter kiss cookies. Tori was SO happy to have friends over after being stuck home so long. Here are some cute pics
