OK. Brace yourself. This is a long one. I'm pretty sure my family is going to kill me for allowing so much time to lapse between posts. I know it's bad when even Brent is harrassing me to update our blog. He is usually satisfied with ripping on me for catching up with all of my "blog buddies." I'm struggling to keep up with all of my New Year's Resolutions and therefore blogging has slipped to about number 50 on my list. Here goes...recap of Christmas vacation:
Brent and I had an amazing get-a-way to Leavenworth right before Christmas. We left C & K with my parents and took advantage of being sans toddlers for 24 hours. Leavenworth is the cutest little town. It looks like something straight out of a Norman Rockwell setting.
We were all ridiculously spoiled on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. C and K are certainly never lacking in the toy or clothing department. Here they are making the rounds on the truck "Aunt" Alison gave them.
Brent took them for their first sleigh ride which was fun until he face-planted both of them in the snow. Perhaps next time we'll try putting them on a real sled instead of a boogie board.
Brent made the most of the freezing temperatures and copious snowfall over the holidays. He went ice-climbing twice with my dad and went skiing for a few days with his brother and dad. Here are a few pics of him scaling the frozen falls.
The boys and I made our own fun hanging out with the fam while Brent was away.
One of the highlights for me was getting professional photos taken of the boys. Mary was AMAZING! She just followed the boys around the house while they did their thing and she got some incredible shots. Here are a few of my favorites:

Undoubtedly, a fabulous Christmas vacation. Now we are back into the full swing of things at home. Here's to more frequent posting for the rest of '09!

aww!:) Darcee! I love your boys!:)
Great photos, indeed! I love the last one by the door. And Brent and your dad are very brave to climb an iced over waterfall. I like rock climbing, but ice gives me serious vertigo.
IT's about time!! Thanks for a great weekend--it was so much fun. I am really missing you guys. Will you put Mary's pics on the shutterfly family page? I will add mine from this weekend too. Love ya!
Very cool photos!!
Those are the best photos! Your boys are so cute and handsome!
the boys are the only toddlers that get exponentially cuter EACH WEEK. I love and miss them SO much! Mary did a great job with the pics.
I'm glad you're back! I've missed reading your posts. The pictures of your boys are ADORABLE!
Love-Shanna
They are so adorable. I am glad you had a good christmas!
We missed you so! seriously... the boys are sickly cute! Don't worry though... we can tell exactly where they got their good looks... from both their parents! Looks like you guys had fun!
I LOVE the pictures!!! They are sooo stinkin cute! I just took Navie to a studio, Bronx was with me too, by the time I left I was ready to blow!!! And I thought I really want some one to just come over and capture her playing bc of course she didn't want to smile or do some ridged sit here face this direction... the things us moms do! But I wanted to wait and have her 1 year and Bronx and family together this spring/summer when she can walk so I guess I settle for cheap 9.99 studio;) if you couldn't tell I had a little venting to do about that day - ha. I love that brent is so adventurous, Justin needs more of that. Glad your break was great... lets get together.

I'm so glad you and Brent got to get away for a day. I've never been to Leavenworth, but I hear it's awesome at Christmas time. See you soon!
