Bedtime Snack



Maddie, Nicholas, and Alina eating Cheerios while watching a Charlie Brown Christmas before bed. Nicholas had been pretending he was at the "pool," so he took his clothes off - and then he refused to put them back on. I pick my battles.

Thanksgiving

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving - ate a ton of food (two Thanksgiving dinners in one day) and had fun with relatives. We missed Aunt Kelly and Aunt Nat and Uncle Matt, though. We can't wait to see them at Christmas!


Alina, Matt, Maddie, Nicholas, and Dani.




Gi with cousin Jonathan (such a happy, sweet baby!). He enjoyed being entertained by the "big kids." Although, by the time this picture was taken, he had had enough.

Aunt Judi and Uncle Mac's 25th Wedding Anniversary

We went to a surprise anniversary party for Aunt Judi and Uncle Mac this past weekend. The kids had a great time! And the girls actually kept the party a secret (they didn't mention it to anyone on Thanksgiving)!

Nicholas and Gram G.

First Christmas Train Ride

There are a lot of new pictures - so keep scrolling! I haven't updated the blog in a long time!!

The kids had fun riding the train at the mall. It was Nicholas' first ride (last Christmas he was just a little baby!), and he looked a little nervous, but afterward he clapped and said "yea!!"

More Birthday!

The girls wore their really cute outfits from Aunt Nat and Uncle Matt and Nicholas wore his new outfit from Gram and Pap G. to church the next day.


We sang again and had more cake on the girls' actual birthday - because you always have to have cake and be sung to on your birthday!

Uncle Dave and Aunt Vicky's Engagement!

Uncle Dave and Aunt Vicky had a wonderful surprise for everyone at the birthday party - they got engaged!!! We are all so happy! The next day was Uncle Dave's birthday!

Alina's and Madeline's 5th Birthday

Alina and Madeline celebrated their 5th birthday last weekend with a Tinker Bell cake for Alina and a Sleeping Beauty/ Princess cake for Maddie. They had so much fun with their friends and relatives at the party!!

The girls opened presents from Mommy and Daddy the morning of the party. They got some help from Nicholas.

The girls working diligently on their High School Musical notebooks (thanks Lilly!).

Nicholas enjoying his cake!

Nicholas, Alina, Maddie, Kelsey, Michael, and Matthew (sitting) at the party (Kaitlyn was having fun playing). Then they all had some cake and ice cream!
