New Niece!

This little beauty, Kacie Clair Lesinski, was born at 4:30pm on Tuesday, November 27th. She weighed 8 lbs 5 oz, and measured 20 inches long. Check out those little pink cheeks! Mama Laura and Daddy Chris are proud, proud parents, of course.
She's a healthy, sweet girl who seems to enjoy exercising her vocal chords nightly from 8p-12a. Party girl!

"I would like a ban, please."

We met Ella and Theresa at the mall for lunch and a visit with Santa.

Zach told Santa he would like a "ban" for Christmas. As in "rubber ban," if you ask him. Upon further questioning, you might learn that he wants to play the "kih-tar" in a ban, and "yes, a kih-tar" is what he'd really like.

Hammond's Candies Tour

Hammond's Candies are handmade in Denver. We toured the facility for "free." The exit is on the other side of their scrumptiously stocked store...you can imagine how easy it is to leave without spending a small fortune on sweet treats.
