We are now a family of Five!


I really don't have the words to describe how excited I am to share that we are expecting another baby in late July! Here is a picture of what Luke lovingly named him or her as "Eddie" (probably won't stick, especially if it is a her...;)) Either way though, we have been thrilled for 12 weeks now and are very excited to be able to share!!

Christmas 2010

We had a lot to be thankful for this Christmas! The kids were both so excited about Santa coming. I think this was the first year both of them understood what was going on and hopefully a little bit about what Christmas was all about (I did buy a nativity scene and I tried my best to explain who and what was going on in it.....Luckily it came with directions.) We also went to church on Christmas eve which was pretty special.


Yep, Santa and the reindeer ate all of their snacks! Even Freddie was there to say "Good Job!" and "Merry Christmas!"














































Zoo Lights

My hands were too cold to take them out to take pictures most of the time, but it was actually a beautiful night! We rode the train (which Luke was absolutely THRILLED about) and had some very yummy popcorn and hot chocolate. Always a fun night!

Sleighbells






We made our now annual trip to Sleighbells EARLY one morning in December. It was a little cold, but we were able to get a tree AND see santa all without waiting in lines.
