I know it has been forever since I last posted anything. January was crazy up here, lots of birthdays and birthday parties and I just haven't had much time to post lately. So, here is one shot of the kids from the other day. Funny thing is, this is actually the first time we could make a snowman this year. We have hardly gotten any snow this year and it was the first time it was the right kind of snow for it!! I am going to try to get back on track and back to posting as much as I can.

Happy B-Day Aidan!!

Apparently turning 5 has turned Aidan into a rocker!?!

Christmas Tree Decorating

If you know me, you know that I absolutely LOVE Christmas. Everything about it makes me happy and excited. I love going to get our Christmas Tree, turning on the Christmas music, bringing in all of the boxes to get started, having hot chocolate and so on and so forth......


Concentrating very hard to get the hooks on the ornaments....


Making a nose for "Rudolph"

Only a few smashed ornaments, not too bad.....

The finished product....... AHHHH, did I mention that I love Christmas???


After a long night of decorating, the kids cozied up in our bed and watched a Christmas special on tv.

November

Christmas Parade

Brian's work Family Christmas Party. State Farm rents out an indoor amusement park for their annual Christmas Party. This was our first year going. The kids loved it. It was so much fun.
