Christmas Cookies

 We all had lots of fun decorating Christmas cookies before the big day.  We happened to catch a nasty bug that lasted for three weeks, so decorating cookies was a good distraction from the sickness.




3 Months


 

 Brinley is such a happy baby.  She smiles a ton and is such a light in our home.


Ryan turned 32!

 Ryan turned 32 in December.  We had family over to celebrate the occasion and the kids loved blowing out candles with daddy!

Brinley enjoyed her Christmas jammies.

What November Brought

  Boston looking angelic

   
 My pretty Cambree






  


 The Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morning.  Boston ran the last mile and 1/2 with me.

 After the Turkey Trot, I had the great idea to have some family pictures taken before Thanksgiving.  Wow, getting five people in nice clothes with hair done was quite the undertaking.


  
 Yep, these are them.  Pretty amazing with shadows, squinty eyes, and frowny kids.  We're are going to try for real in the spring when I have geared myself up again for this event.

  Kissy lips and chubby cheeks


 Daddy's new hat
  


 This is Cambree at 5:40 a.m. one morning.  She took about two weeks to get used to daylight savings and is now making it to 6:30.  Lucky us!

 Another present waiting for daddy when he comes home from work, wrapped and all.  Lucky daddy!
 Doing a feeling heart.  This is what you get when your mom is a therapist in training.  Poor kid.



 
 
  Boston proud after making his bed.....There's baby KiKi, Monkey, Cella, Hopper, and Rufus.  
Making secret treats for Boston's friends on a boring day.  He is the cutest when he rings the doorbell and runs to the van.  It is one of my most favorite moments.
 I took Boston on a bowling date.  We had a blast hanging out and spending time one-on-one.
  





We stopped for a hamburger and cookie at Carl's Junior on the way home from bowling.  Boston was very thoughtful as he insisted we bring a cookie home for daddy and Cambree so they wouldn't feel bad.

 Picture with my best friend.  The longer we are married, the more I fall in love with Ryan.  So grateful to have him and know he was meant just for me.

Cambree sweetly rearranges the nativity regularly, placing all people very close to the baby Jesus.  She says they need to be able to see the baby......precious.
