Cornelius Chronicles

 Owen discovered that he LOVES piggy back rides with his Daddy.  Check out that grin!  If only you could hear the giggles that go with it.   Maeve practicing to become a grand pianist.     Loyd and showing off his awesome building skills with some scraps of lumber he found around the backyard.  Maeve and Xavier are enjoying the fruits of Loyd's creative labors.  :) Maeve proving that there are few things in life as fun as making Dr Who themed sugar cookies for the TARDIS themed cookie jar.  Thank you Lee Family for the coolest of cool Christmas gifts!  Now we just have to make some pizza so we can cut it with our Sonic Screwdriver pizza cutter!  :D

  This year we thought it would be a ton of fun to visit Utah and all of our awesome family over Christmas break.  Not only would it be great to spend Christmas with our extended family, but it would give the kids a chance to see snow for the very first time.  And, boy, we were not disappointed!   Grandma and Papa Goober P's house looked like a Hallmark Christmas movie, at least 2 feet of beautiful, fresh powder snow fell while we were there, and we had one giant cousin party the entire time we were there.  Grandma P and I didn't know 9 little kids ages 9 and under could eat so much popcorn!  We had so much fun playing with all of our family and friends.  We are so blessed that everyone took time out of their busy schedules (and recovering from having a new baby - Aunt Liz and Uncle Thomas, yea!) to play with us and make our trip so special.  Thank you to all! During our trip to Morgan we discovered what fun could be had conquering snow mountains in Grandma and Grand
