Gifts

I'm just so proud of our [neighbor/teacher/practically everyone] gifts this year that I just had to show it off. I think it turned out so cute and so yummy!

Our Tree

We found a beautiful Christmas tree this year. We were so excited to decorate it. We started out like most people do, by putting the lights on. Of course all of our strands of lights had a short or two so we had to pause and wait while Aaron went to the store to buy all new lights. Once we finally got the lights on we went to ornaments. Molly just hung them all in one spot and almost always on the strands of lights instead of a tree branch. Lilly was definitely a little more picky about where she placed each of her ornaments. When the kids are done decorating the tree, that is where I come in and ever so secretly re balance the tree and spread out the ornaments. I just love to see how proud they are of the work they did. Decorating the tree is just such a great way to begin a holiday season full of fun and memories.

Happy Birthday Aaron and Heather

Happy, Happy Birthday to us! We had a great time celebrating our Birthdays this year. Aaron made me feel so special and we were able to finally go out on a date! We had Grayson with us, but he was easy to take care of. We started our evening by seeing Breaking Dawn (Twilight) Thanks honey for taking me. Then we had dinner at P.F. Changs. It was delicious! It is kind of nice that we get to celebrate together every year. My Birthday was on the 3rd and Aaron's was on the 5th.

Happy 32nd Birthday to the love of my life. I love and adore you and appreciate so much all that you do for me and our family. We couldn't ask for a better husband and father!

1 month old

Here is Grayson at 1 month. He is a good baby who eats, sleeps and needs diaper changes. We love having him in our family!

Thanksgiving 2011

This year we were able to make the trip to the cabin so that we could spend Thanksgiving with Aaron's Sister Lauren and her family. Sarah and Ian were also able to make it. We had a really great time and the girls just love spending time with Eliza. Grayson was hardly ever put down and nothing could have made him happier. We played games, laughed a lot, and ate great food. Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving with us Lauren and Family! We had a fantastic time.

This is how Grayson spent his Thanksgiving meal. Nikki and Eliza.

Molly and Lilly. Sarah and Ian

Oh Chandler! Ken and Nelson.

Aaron and Lauren. Molly spending time on the couch. That couch always does funny things to her hair!

Bath Time

I haven't really taken any pictures of Grayson and his first bath, so we just snapped one... sometime around his very first bath.... I think it works.

I swear something just happens when you have 3 kids. It's like the picture taking get so much less than they were with your first and your time split 3 ways is, well, split 3 ways. And then you add in the time you need for your husband/marriage/relationship and well... you can see what I'm saying. So I must apologize now to Grayson. I'm sorry, but I will try my best to document your life as you grow up. I may not always get the picture taken, but I will certainly be there no matter what to support you through it all. And in the end, I hope the memories we make together will out way the lack of pictures.

10 diapers

So I send Molly upstairs to bring some of her diapers and here is what she brings....

It's like diaper-palooza! It takes her like 5 minutes to get them because she tries to bring so many and then she can barely keep a hold of them, so they spill everywhere. But she is just so darn proud of hereself and so proud of the fact that she got them all down the stairs all by herself. She is such a silly girl!
