Last weekend Santa made a surprise visit! It was so fun to see how excited all the kids were, and how excited my mom was! We used to see Santa every year growing up at my Grandma Norma's, so it was fun to have my mom carry on that tradition!

Isaac was not really that pleased to be sitting on Santa's lap (if you couldn't tell!) But he did enjoy watching his sisters and cousins go visit with Santa. Santa's elves had told him that Isaac was a very loving little boy who made friends everywhere he went!

Abi asked Santa for a doodle bear this year. Santa's elves and told him that Abi is a big helper to her mom and that she has an endless supply of energy!

Sarah asked Santa for a miniature American Girl Doll that comes with her books. Santa's elves told him what a sweet hear Sarah is and how she is always doing nice things for other people!

Grace also asked Santa for a miniature American Girl Doll that comes with her books. Santa's elves told him that Grace is a self movitivated little girl who loves to learn!

The whole family!  This was the perfect way to start the Christmas season!



Thanksgiving

 This Thanksgiving was great, lots of yummy food and time with family.  I am always grateful for my sister Heather who takes such beautiful pictures!  She was nice enough to snap these before we ate.

So I have not posted on here in a really long time, I had just given up on it.  But recently I have gained new motivation from somewhere, not really sure where.  But I just wanted to start off with updating on this sweet addition to our family.  After 3 girls we had this little guy.  It has been so interesting to see how different he can be from my girls, with all his climbing and the way he will sit and try and figure out how things work.  But it has also been fun to see how cuddly he is ( he is by far my most cuddly baby!) and how he loves to play with the girls baby doll strollers!  He is truly spoiled, his three big sisters just adore him!  I am hoping to post again soon, but don't hold me to it!
