Cookie Time

Since Leo was born we've had a home health nurse come visit. She's been there to help with lots of different things. We had our last visit today, and she thought she'd help Leo make cookies. He loved it!







Thanks for everything you did for us Melissa!

Happy 1/2 BIrthday!

Leo Beo! You are 3 1/2 years old! Guess what you go to do for your 1/2 birthday... You went to the dentist and have your teeth cleaned. Good news... no cavities. You did cry a little bit, but were super excited to get a Buzz Lightyear toothbrush. In honor of the dentist, I didn't make you a 1/2 birthday cake. But I took some pictures of you and your brother in your new "house" with the new shingles!

Can't wait to see what you learn in the next 6 months! Love you!

Christmas PJs

Every year my mom gets the kids Christmas pajamas and gives them to the kids at Thanksgiving. This year we were all together so we tried to get a picture of all 6 kids. Tried is the key word...

A Visit From Santa

Santa stopped by my parents house on Christmas! Gavin, Katelynn, Adri & Finely thought it was great. My boys, however, were VERY scared. Eli cried the entire time and Leo wouldn't go near him unless I was right there.





He brought each of the kids a pencil from the North Pole and a little gift. It was really cool!

Christmas Morning (For Real)

We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house and woke up on Christmas morning with my sister's family. My brother was at his wife's family, but they joined us later in the day. The kids were so patient about opening gifts. The waited until 9 before they started peeking in the stockings. It was so funny.



We missed Christmas at my mom's last year because of the snow and the spinal headaches, so I was so glad to be there. Leo had fun checking out what everyone got, and Eli...well, Eli had fun with everyone's new toothbrush. Oh Eli!



Christmas morning was so fun. The rest of the day my sister and I made hair bows and flowers for her little girl and our niece. It was fun, minus burning my finger about a billion times...
