CHRISTMAS EVE FUN!

ANOTHER SNOW DAY AND HIP HIP HORRAY NO SCHOOL!

LOOK AT ALL THIS SNOW! It keeps coming! They are shutting down major highways and freeways and calling this our winter storm! It is SOOOOOO beautiful! You can see the snow falling in the background! We are having a BALL!! We even made a snowman today and cookies and managed to bake some homemade cinnamon rolls - WE JUST LOVE THIS SEASON! Sophia is beginning to realize how fun the snow can be! It is actually warmer today than yesterday - even though the snow continues to fall rapidly - it does not seem that cold - LOOK at that sweet face!

Sophie blinked - but this is a sweet one of the kids!

I don't know why- but I LOVE the pic below of my little sweetie all bundled up!

MAKING Mr. SNOWMAN!

BRAYDEN'S CHRISTMAS PLAY

I am just in love with being a mom to these AWESOME kids!

We were all happily enjoying all the Christmas cookies at the reception!

WE ARE THE HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS TREES!

CAN YOU SPY BRAYDEN - This sweet little song was so precious with all the kids singing "I am the happiest Christmas Tree" - SUPER CUTE!

I think that this Christmas tree was the happiest of all!!!!

I just love the Christmas plays that Brayden's school puts on. They make it so special for the families and they somehow really get these kids to sing their hearts out. I don't think Christmas is ever the same without attending a children's play - it just makes the season! When you see the magic in the eyes of your own child, it makes everything you do, day to day, so worth it!

A SNOW DAY! SNOWED IN!

IT IS SO COLD - THE KIDS WERE UP AT 6am READY TO PLAY IN THE SNOW - WHAT A SUPER FUN AND CHILLY DECEMBER DAY!

WOW - IT IS FREEEEEEZING OUT HERE!

SOPHIE DECIDES THAT BAKING SPRITZ COOKIES INSIDE IS MUCH MORE FUN THAN BEING IN THE COLD SNOW!

LAYERED BUT STILL COLDER THAN ANYTHING!

MY THREE SNOW ANGELS!

CONTRAST!

I saw the doggies sitting on the couch and though this was too sweet not to post - FUNNY!

IT'S SNOWING!!!!!

Each Christmas our family goes into town and there is a super FUN Christmas parade and it snows each night (flakes of soap - but SO MUCH FUN!)

MORE OF THE CHRISTNAS TREE CUTTING!

SO VERY EXCITED THAT CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!!!

THE BIG RED BARN WHERE WE GET OUR TREE - SUCH A GREAT SPOT!

THE ENTIRE ACT OF CUTTING IS MOST OF THE FUN!
STAYING WARM AND PLAYING AROUND ALL OF THE MANY TREES!

I JUST LOVE THIS MAN WITH ALL OF MY HEART - HOW IN THE WORLD DID I GET SO BLESSED?

CUTTING DOWN THE TREE!

We had such a wonderful time cutting down our Christmas tree - we met grandpa and grandma L and our cousins! I must say that I think this year was the best tree ever - what a BLAST! The kids just loved picking it out and riding Santa's express train!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

BRAYDEN AND HIS THANKSGIVING BUDDY TRADE NECKLACES! BRADYEN LOVES THANKSGIVING DAY!

BRAYDEN AND HIS VERY BEST BUDDY!

TWO OF THE CUTEST LITTLE TURKIES EVER!

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN FUN!

We had such a fun Halloween! The kids were set for some trick or treating and LOVED going to our neighbors houses and they LOVED seeing the kids - Daddy decided to dress us as Santa - the first time Sophie saw him she said "no daddy - daddy home" - this may be an indicator of what Santa pics will be like this year....priceless BOTH BOYS WERE MORE EXCITED THAN I HAD SEEN THEM IN AGES!

MY PRECIOUS PRINCESSES - WHAT A FUN NIGHT!

EVERYONE DRESSES UP (MINUS MOM - WHO TYLER THOUGHT WOULD MAKE A GREAT WITCH - HAD TO POST THAT!)

GETTING READY FOR SOME SPOOKY SURPRISES!
