Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Sorry I have been so slow to add these. I tried to do a little creative layout so you could see more pictures, but it didn't work...so here is just a glimpse of all the fun. Nana, Grandpa and Uncle Michael were here and we had such a great time. And the good news is that it's one entire week after Christmas and the kids are still playing with all the new toys!!

Little Buddies

The kids have been so cute playing together lately. Maddie loves to hold onto one end of a belt, put Bren on the other end and pull him around the house. It is really funny. She says they are going on a sleigh ride...she really has to use her imagination for that one since it is 80 degrees here!

Santa Claus came to town

You probably expected a picture of the kids with santa...but mom and dad have been really good this year!

Oatmeal Anyone?

Brennan has taken over control of the spoon~and meal times have gotten VERY messy. It is amazing to watch how fast he is learning. It is also amazing to see how fast a clean baby can cover himself from head to toe in oatmeal.

MADISON IS 3!!

It is hard to believe that our baby girl is 3! Time flies. We had a fun party and she was showered with princess goodies, dress up clothes and games. We will have tons of fun playing.

It does get cold here!

Ok, so it may only stay cold for two days, but it was a nice change.

In the Christmas Spirit....

This is Maddie and her friend Anna Katherine (that is for you meg) over at our neighbor Merrielle's house decorating a gingerbread house. They had a great time...but then decided that playing in a dark room with a flashlight would be more fun. So, the adults took over :)

Light Up Lake Hart

We went up to Crusade Headquarters on Friday night for a little Christmas celebration...and it was actually COLD! We had fun taking our picture on the sleigh, but there was a bright light shining in our faces and I think the kids had a hard time finding the camera guy! :)

A day at Disney's Animal Kingdom

We finally made it to The Animal Kingdom today! It was a really fun day. We went on the African Safari and then just walked around and enjoyed the atmosphere. The kids were tons of fun on the way home and entertained us the entire way.
