Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. The kids got presents they had been wanting, we ate a ton of food, and just hung out with family.



The kids in their new pajamas. They couldn't wait for Santa to come, but let us sleep in until 7:30. They must have been tired out from the day before.

If you know Avery, you may have heard talk of "The Tiana Drum". She desperately wanted this music set for her birthday in August, but we couldn't find it anywhere. She's been talking about it ever since, and I even tried to make one for her. My mom tracked it down and Avery was so surprised. My dad even helped her try it out.


We feel so lucky and blessed this holiday season. We have a lot of exciting things coming up, and are so grateful that we can be so close to all our family, and that they can share these fun times with us!

Family Pictures

We were going to send out Christmas cards this year, but didn't. With us in the middle of moving a lot of things got put off. Plus we wanted to wait until we could send out something with our new address.


But our friend, Crystal, of Cal Artistry was awesome and took our family photos for us. We dont want them to go to waste, so these are a few of them. I love this last one of her kids and our kids, so cute! I love little kids laughing.

Basketball

Ethan just finished his basketball season. He had a good time, but I think he wants to go back to soccer next time. These are his team pictures. Thanks Shauntel for taking them.

Noelle is 11 Months

I haven't really updated on Noelle for a while. She's really growing up. I can't believe she'll be 1 next month. She sure acts like it too. She definitely thinks she's one of the big kids. She has two teeth now, can stand alone, and has taken a couple steps. She loves to say da da da and ma ma ma, but I only get the ma ma ma when she's sad. She loves Bryce to pieces and cries whenever he leaves the house. She eats everything and is pretty feisty. I'm excited to see who this little girl turns into.
