Last One

Just a few more pics of our Christmas Vacation . . .

Most of these pictures are self-explanatory...kids, Christmas, snow, blah, blah, blah. But just in case some of our viewers have not been to Zion National Park, we included a few on the 3rd and 4th rows of the collage. Zion is one of my favorite parks, and it's a pretty spectacular sight when it snows.

Penultimate Post of 2008

Christmas '08 was spent in a cabin near Zion National Park with my family.

Daredevil Abby loved racing down hills on the sled, and later thought it would be a good idea to take a handful of flour and rub it on her face. Santa got a plate of cookies made by Abby (and she only sneezed on them once). By the way, the creepy looking cookie in the bottom right corner is my dad's artwork, I take no credit.

Season's Greetings from Abby Nelson

Consider this your Christmas card, all you loyal readers of the Skelter. Merry Christmas!

Holiday Happiness!

Zoo lights, eating snow, spitting it out and giggling hysterically, making cookies, decorating cookies, decorating gingerbread houses, reunions with loved ones, and SANTA!

O Christmas Tree!

A couple of weeks ago, we went with the our friends, the Rogers, to chop down a Christmas tree.

We got Matt all bundled up and went hiking. He looks like he's enjoying it, right?
And, we have a tree!

Matt kept sucking on his upper lip, we thought it looked like bitter-beer face.

Abby's favorite part of the trip? The SNACKS, of course.

Thanks to the Rogers for letting us join them!

Our Mighty Matt

As of today, Matt is actually 5 months old. But, I am behind (no surprise there), so here he is at 4 months. At his four month check up, Matt weighed a healthy 18.1 pounds, and measured 26 inches tall (weight was in the 95th percentile and height was in the 90th). His pediatrician couldn't stop laughing.


Just for a little visual comparison, here are some pictures of Matt and Abby at four months (and, let me assure you that I have not done any shrinking).
