Merry Christmas

Anna and Karly trying on daddy's work boots.

The kids enjoying their new table and chairs.

Nathan and mommy. What a momma's boy! :)

Nathan as him sweet self!

Best Friends Forever!

Aunt Tracey and Karly. Many people think Karly looks like her aunt.

This is where most of the ornaments ended up...in the kids' mouths. Today all ornaments are on the top half of the tree.

Those candy canes, believe or not, or supposed to be ON the tree!

Daddy's girl!

Sweet Anna wearing Santa's hat.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We have had several sickness the past 2-3 weeks, so we're ready for the holidays to be over and get everyone on the mend. We're happy to say that my mom is home and feeling much better. She needs to get strong so they can come have "Christmas" with us and the kids.

The kiddos enjoyed opening their gifts. We did not take them to see Santa, we figured we'd save ourselves the crying fits! :) Maybe next year, we'll see. As this year comes to a close we look back and realize how big the kids are getting and how much our lives have changed. We are so fortunate to have our three little angels in our lives...we wouldn't change a thing! I'm always thankful for Travis, as he is the rock to our family. He's an amazing father and a wonderful husband who I'm very lucky to be able to share my life with.

We've had some weird weather so far this season, today it's 58...hoping it'll melt all the ice layers so we can start over.

Hope this find you happy and in good health. Have a wonderful and safe New Year's. We'll post more next year!!! Enjoy the photos.

Happy December

Karly calming down after one of her many cries during the photo shoot.

One of the only good ones of the three of them, Anna was great for all of the group photos, Nathan looks worried in all of them, and Karly has a tear on her cheek in most of them.

Anna was a ham through the whole photo shoot.

Love this one...typical Nathan, getting into everything!

Karly cried most of the photo shoot, she's actually sitting on my leg during this one.

Peaceful Anna...I could eat those cheeks! :)

We've taught the kids how to wink...here's Karly's try at it...Nathan isn't that good, we told him he'd have to get it down if he wants to pick up the ladies! :)

Love Nathan's look at Anna...many more of those to come, I'm sure!

Here's our T-day photo, a little slanted I know, but the camera was propped on a pillow!

It's amazing how well the kids act when remotes are in hand, we should have given them during the photo shoot!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, we sure did! Spent time in Iowa the first part of November and then at Mike and Shannon's house for Thanksgiving Day. The food was wonderful and the company was great! The kids did so well around everyone, even without a nap.

We're getting ready for Christmas...the shopping is done and the house is decorated (try that with 3 toddlers running around....urghhhh!). We've had accumulation of snow already but it's been too cold to take the kids out, hopefully later this week. Their faces were priceless to see the snow falling and on the ground...wish I had the video recorder going.

The professional photos are back and there are some really good ones of the kids individually but it was so hard to get all three of them to cooperate. I'll post here a few as well as some from the last month.

If I don't get to post before Christmas, have a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year!
