The best part of decorating cookies.

It’s becoming somewhat of a tradition in our family to make sugar cookies for Christmas and let the kids paint them up. Tradition as in, this is the second year in a row we’ve done it. Sugar cookies happen to be my most favorite Christmas cookie so I can see this continuing.

The kids had fun with the frosting, and especially the sprinkles. There were as many on the floor as there were on cookies :)

Trees don't have to be green. Someone sneaked a bite! These need sprinkles, where are the sprinkles? All done, let's get on with it! Tory eats his favorite one. Tegan does too. Yummy blue one. ]]> http://toryandtegan.com/2011/12/christmas-cookies/feed/ 1 Tegan and the Old Man http://toryandtegan.com/2011/12/tegan-and-the-old-man/ http://toryandtegan.com/2011/12/tegan-and-the-old-man/#comments Sat, 03 Dec 2011 15:26:46 +0000 Bryan http://toryandtegan.com/?p=2289

The look at and look away

Just a few photos of the Tegers hanging out with her Daddy.

Hiking at Brighton

Rather than try and go back and separate out each event that happened over the last two months, here’s a bunch of photos from that time.

The main reason I’ve missed so much is our camera had a series of unfortunate events… but we’ve got it back now so I’ve no longer got an excuse for not posting.

The Park City Fire District has a wood chipping department, and since I have an in with the chief they’ll sometimes drop off the chips in our driveway. This load the kids have been helping us distribute.

Tory stirs the pot. Let's move it somewhere! Ok now tip it over!

Since I’ve been such a slagger with updates these past few months, here’s some randomness from May.

Aunt Jenny stopped in for a few days while on route to Crested Butte. We tried to convince her to stay but her heart was set on a return to her old stomping grounds. I don’t blame her, Kari and I both had many good years in CB.

Pincher of Cheeks Ok let's get one out on the porch. Tegan, be cool... Tegan, what's up? Ok let's do it without her. So funny... Laughing laughing falling apart. Tory's like, what's the deal yo? Jenny about to get on the road again. ]]> http://toryandtegan.com/2011/05/aunt-jenny-visits/feed/ 0 On the Floor http://toryandtegan.com/2011/04/on-the-floor/ http://toryandtegan.com/2011/04/on-the-floor/#comments Sat, 09 Apr 2011 17:12:49 +0000 Bryan http://toryandtegan.com/?p=2084

As fun as tomato soup is to eat, it’s apparently even more fun to wear.

I better get on it.

The story that goes along with each post is usually very thin – it’s the pictures that are meant to do all the talking.

This is very intentional in the hopes to make the site quick and entertaining to read for family and friends. I do wonder sometimes though if it leaves a little too much out, or too many big gaps in the story of their lives.

So I thought it might be a good idea then to take the time, at least once a year, and do a more comprehensive written post about each one. Their birthdays seem like a logical time time to do that.

I’ll also be updating the masthead image of each one of them at this time of year.
