Christmas Eve with Mimi and Pappa

Gingerbread house fun!

Yay for the dads doing this with the kids. They all had fun. Ethan, Ellie, Jack and Henry quite proud of their work.

working on it...

getting started...

Ellie's first time to the Nutcracker Ballet

She loved getting to meet the ballerinas. Me, Mimi and Ellie.

The youth Ballet was fantastic.

Ellie's favorite was meeting the princess ballerina.

December stuff

Oh come on, you know this is what you look like when you shovel snow too!

Trampoline snow angels... even more fun!

Ethan's Christmas party at school

We babysat Jack and Henry Thomas and the kids wanted to have story time all together. Lots of fun after lots of laughs.

Then, finally all asleep. ... for now. Not sure how though. Look how Ethan has Henry's feet right in his face.

Claire is 4 months old

I can't believe how fast Claire is growing and changing. She is so fun. Happy most all of the time and always up for a smile. I have yet to get on any kind of schedule this time. I am hoping to work on that this week. Ellie loves that she and Claire can be twinkies!

Daddy with Claire and her new cousin Kyli. Kyli is about 3 weeks younger than Claire.

Our attempt at a family Christmas photo

Cheese!

Elllie is 4 years old.

And so sweet she is. Already 4. I can hardly believe it. Fun at Lil' biggs

We had the place almost completely to ourselves.

Ethan turns 6!

I can't believe our boy is 6 years old. We are so proud of the little boy he is.

Here we are...

Ethan and Ellie wanted to be rolled up like Claire.
