Christmas Eve


Christmas Eve is always fun. Our family tradition is that we open gifts from each other that night. When I was growing up, we always went to my grandmother's house on Christmas Eve, so this wonderful tradition came from Tom's side of the family. I love it...it just feels like a perfect way to start the Christmas holiday! The kids loved their presents and are pictured with their favorite ones of the night.

Lydia with her new lamp so she can read before going to bed!

Colin and his new baseball game, although anything with a ball would have been just fine I think!



Erynn and her "penguin boots"...she wears them in rain, in snow and basically at every moment she can!


One last picture of the kids all sitting together opening their presents. They were so into what each other got and seeing that kind of interest and compasion makes me think that we may be doing something right in raising them to be loving, wonderful siblings and children!
We hope that your Christmas season had as great of a beginning as ours did!

Lydia's pictures

I just took Lydia for her 7 year pictures. I know...didn't she turn 7 in October? Well yes...but I am the mom of 3 kids and this is the first time I have had a chance to get her in. Anyway, you can see them here...

Car Show

So at Erynn's school they have a car show every year. They use it to learn about transportation and have to actually make a car out of a cardboard box. They then have a "car parade" around the block, then they returned to school and went to a "drive in" movie...complete with popcorn. I won't lie, it isn't my favorite day of the year, but the kids really seem to love it!




Watch out!

We have a walker now...lordy, help us!
