December

My cute hubby putting up Christmas lights... yikes!

We were able to check out some fun lights when my family came for Thanksgiving.

Dustins 2013... awww!

Moira-4 and Madeline-6

One more!

Snowflake Lane!!!  You have to drive to Bellevue for snow in Washington.  They send bubbles out everywhere and it's pretty exciting!  There's bands and dancers and princesses... pretty magical!  

So fun!!

My jars!!!

We went on a train ride with the Gustins to see the little light display in Maple Valley.  It was COLD, but fun!

Woot!

Josh made us an advent calendar (for next year)... he still has to sew the ornaments, but he finished all the pockets and snaps... pretty impressive, huh?

Our traditional gingerbread house!

YAY!

Beautiful, eh??

Josh and I made ugly sweaters this year!  He sewed... I hot glued!

We had one snow day!!  Here is our little jalapeno nosed snowman!

Awww... Elijah!

Grandma Dustin's pjs!!!!!  Cutest things ever!

Christmas at Grandma Stewart's!

New jammies!

More new jammies!

Our Christmas letters

Santa's reply!

A happy kid!

New Year's at Grandma Dustin's!

Cousins!!!!!!!!!

Tea parties!!!!

Home again... Madeline and Moira's first breakfast in bed!

My sweet boy!  The girls set him all up in this bed next to the dolls!  He'll be better for it in the long run!  :)

Thanksgiving!!!

I thought for a nice little Valentine treat I would update the blog a little!!  YAY!!!

 

Here are my sweet children brushing their teeth!  Oh, isn't she cute??

Madeline was wearing most the clothes in her dresser this night... 



Elijah... just as silly as his sisters!

Madeline has a lot of my weird quirks... one of them is she really likes how some things smells... I don't share her love of this one though...

Most of the time you will find Elijah on top of something!

This is a rare, but precious moment!

Our place settings for Thanksgiving!

Grandma's creativity!!!

We were SO SO SO lucky to have Grandma, Grandpa, and Kali come and be with us (oh and of course Bella too!!)

 

Aww!

The children LOVE Grandma's iPad!

Grandpa was a wizard in the kitchen!

Josh is pretty proud of his bird!!  :)

The spread... we had two other families join us!!  It was a crazy blast!

The dessert spread... whoa!!

 

We really had a fun month reflecting on all the things we have to be grateful for!!!  :)  Happy Valentine's Day!!

New Family Pictures!!!!

The day before Christmas eve we went and got our pictures taken at this place in Utah that my sisters really liked.  We really loved them.  It took Madeline the first couple shots to warm up, but it went pretty good after that, well... until Elijah started bawling and Moira decided she was done.  BUT... it was good!  :)

My sweet, sweet, sweet little boy is already almost TWO!!!!  On February 28th!!  Isn't that crazy??

Love him!

Awww.

I love this girl.  She is amazing in every way. 

It is so weird to me that she is in first grade, but she loves it!

My little Moira!!!!  We have so many fun adventures at home!

BUT... she thinks she's really ready for kindergarten!! 

Elijah's favorite things in the world are trains, airplanes, and

cars!  A true boy!

This is the picture we printed.  It's a little dark printed off, but it's still fun!

 

This is my favorite!!!

Jumping on the bed was probably their favorite!

YAY! 

 

One day I'll post more pictures!!  Heehee!!
