Mason

It's so hard to believe that my baby is already 3 and a half. He has grown so fast. One night, after his bath, he played with a balloon for nearly an hour.

Casey has introduced the "Peace sign" to our house.

Again with the "Peace Sign."

Blizzard

The "Great Blizzard" of February 1, 2011 has come and gone. Thank goodness! I am so sick of snow, below 0 wind chills, and winter in general. I can't wait to see some grass! We got 13 inches of snow and had some scary winds come through.

I kind of liked being "hunkered down" with my babies. We did crafts, played games, perfected hot chocolate, watched movies, and kept warm. The kids got along for the three days were were stuck in the house! It was a miracle.

These pictures were all taken by me, inside of the house. I am not amused by snow. I prefer sand and sun. Also, Casey was too embarrassed by the way she was dressed and refused to let me take her picture.

Spoiled...and worth it!

Their expressions when they first saw the loot!

Santa's elves dressed Kit in a new dress!

MONSTER TRUCK!

Justin Bieber, in a box. At least this is as close as Santa could get without kidnapping that kid!

Mason with two sweet new dinosaurs!

After we finished with Santa's presents at our house, we went back to Mom and Dad's. We got Landon around 3.

Landon and his sweet new whip.

Somehow, the boys made a game out of a big wheel and a chain saw.

Mom and Casey playing dolls.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We sure did!

Santa's Jammie Surprise

Santa always comes on Christmas Eve and gives us new pajamas. He also writes a note to the kids.

We set out milk, cookies, and carrots. This year Casey wanted to leave Santa a gift too! She's such a thoughtful girl!

Mason's ornament this year.

Casey's 2010 ornament.

Since we don't have a chimney, we have to use a "Magic Key." We leave it by the door so Santa can get in our house without committing a felony.

Christmas Eve...At Mom's

We started out Christmas at my mom and dad's house. While there, we got 6 inches of snow! It was beautiful, if you like snow.
Mason was helping Uncle Steve shovel the sidewalk, with a tractor. Hey, he's the only one that volunteered to help him!

I love this picture. It shows three things that have given me a headache! I Spy, Dancing Mickey, drums, and a Nerf gun.

Making Candy...Again!

This year we got to make candy at my Aunt Deb's house, a tradition that we put off for a few years. We had all of the grandkids together and had a blast! I didn't get any picture of the candy, but I got some of the kids getting along and playing together!

Halloween

We had a great Halloween! It was filled with friends, family, pumpkins, carmel apples, and memories!
