Snow Fun

 It has snowed so much this December! The kids and I bundled up and went out to build a Snowman. 

 Thanks to our handy Snowman kit we already had everything we needed. 

 We even made Snow Angels

 Playing in the snow it hard work! It helps when you have a snowman to lean on. :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! A tradition in our family is to eat breakfast first and then go open presents. Crepe Suzette's were made and eaten mostly by Wes and I. Wes went and peeked but Sophie refused to until everyone was ready. 

 Santa even moved Oliver's train on the coffee table which Sophie and Oliver thought was so silly!

 We even had Paperwhites blooming for Christmas. 

Sophie was so very excited to get her dollhouse! 

Santa left Oliver a red wagon.

 He loved taking rides in it all morning long. 

 You can even fold the the seats and take a rest. 

We are so grateful for our Saviors birth and the opportunity we have to celebrate together. 

Merry Christmas!

Oliver's Birthday

Here are some pictures of Oliver's Birthday Celebration.

 Oliver LOVES balloons! He was so happy to get a handful on his Birthday. He never let them out of his sight.

He also got a GeoTrax. Which he can drive all by himself.

 He also got a baseball and bat.

 Then it was off to brave the 19 degree weather to ride the Front Runner Train.

 We stopped and ate lunch and got an ice cream cone.

 He even got to ride the pony.

 Happy Birthday Oliver!

At the end of the day he still had those balloons. Even in the bathtub!

Happy Birthday Oliver!

Breakfast with Santa

 Sophie, Oliver and I went away for the weekend earlier this month to visit my Sister with my parents. 

Saturday morning we went to their school and had Donuts and Milk with Santa.

 They even had a little toy shop and gift wrap station.

 We even decorated a sugar cookie.

 The "sisters" got to sit on Santa's lap.

 I love this picture.:) Waiting for Oliver to join Sophie on Santa's lap.

He did not want to sit on his lap! 

But was okay looking at Santa from a distance. His new word while there was, "Santa"

Happy Birthday Oliver!

 Two years ago today we were blessed to have Oliver come to the world and be apart of our family. It's hard to believe that this little baby used to be him. 

He has grown up to be such a handsome little boy! He's such a delight to be around. You can't help but smile when he is with you. Happy Second Birthday Oliver!

We love you!

Preschool Christmas Program

This month Sophie had her Preschool Christmas Program. 

 Can you spot Sophie's Gingerbread man? She told us hers was the one with the orange cheek. 

 They played songs with their bells

And sang lots of songs

 At the end Santa even came! Sophie is telling Santa what she wants for Christmas. A dollhouse.

We tried to have Oliver sit on his lap but he was really scared. He loved the candy cane after though.
Great Job Sophie!
