Cookies with Lu

Last Saturday night Olivia was babysitting, Jack was at a friends house and Jeff and I were home with just Lucy.  This is a rare occasion and let me tell you....Lucy loves it!  She loves our undivided attention. 

We ordered pizza and decided to make some No Bake Cookies.  

Lucy enjoys helping out in the kitchen.  She's a real pro!

 sneaking a little sample

Jeff and I both enjoy getting a little one on one time each of the kids.  

It's these little moments I don't want to forget.  

Sometimes a boring Saturday night can turn into something really fun not to mention, delicious!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Hiking at the lake

We decided to go for a little hike today around Coeur d'Alene Lake.   It was really cold, but the sun was out for part of the day.  This is a trail we have been wanting to hike since we moved here and we haven't had the opportunity until now.   

It was beautiful!  These photos don't do it justice.  

 I can't wait to have a picnic here in the summer.

 this seems to my MO, taking photos of lone trees...

 can you tell, they're freezing???

 after our hike we went to have some yummy hamburgers at Hudsons

We plan on ringing in the new year tonight with fondue and games!  

See ya next year!
