Merry Christmas!

Truly blessed.  The kids showered us with tons of home made Christmas gifts.  And this picture is awesome for two reasons - one - finally good smiles from all - though right before it took, we were restraining the kids to be IN the picture! and two -  It inspired my new year's resolution to take a family pic every month!  Those have been GREAT and may have to come all in one post!  What a great Christmas!

Nearly and finally Christmas Eve!

Cooper Christmas Eve

It's December!!

*It's Quiet... find him doing a puzzle.  SO. CUTE.  At some point I stopped just sitting and taking their pictures so I grabbed the camera this day.  LOVE HIM!

*Daddy's birthday - Oreo cake pops!

*Grace's school happenings

*One of the bared owls that was hanging around all winter.  SO.  COOL. 

Christmas Photo Shoot

Good Times!

Christmas is coming!

We have to make room for our Christmas tree and the kids were READY!  They needed some help getting the love seat down to the play room!  They love decorating for Christmas - I love seeing their nativities set up.  They get so excited to put their ornaments on the tree.  And, they made their own ornaments... lots of hand drawn, paper super hero ornaments on our tree this year!  And it was Cooper's year to put the star on.  Love those two!

And we love our cousin Christmas photo shoot!  Next year there will be four!!  (NOT ours.. Ben and Lauras!!)
