So, I was going to take the boys to see Santa this week but...

Ramblings

So, I have been getting more than the usual "girl factor" at home. Kaleb loves all the shiny shoes that come with the Christmas season, so I have a personal stylist. Aden told me that he liked a new dress I bought, but that it would be better if it was pink. ( You know that's my kid!) And, Collin now knows the color pink and screams it out in public whenever he sees it. Quite obnoxious but I confess, I yell "PINK!" inwardly every time I see it too.

Matt & I attended an Ugly Sweater Party last week, Way too much fun at Staci's beautiful home. I got 2nd place but the monster that won really deserved it. Matt's sweater is the exact color of puke and his tie lights up. We are so good at looking so bad.

This is Collin prepping for the rodeo, poor Jake.

Oldies but Goodies, again.

Kaleb, almost 5.

Who knew?

...if you wait long enough, a pumpkin will carve it's own face!

Before I packed it all away, this thankful turkey needed to be shared. And now, bring on Christmas!

A few traditions, Ellen gracing the windows with her talent and the boys each decorating a tree.





And the man who puts up with a ridiculous amount of Holiday drama from me, still managing a smile.

For all the Die-Hards

The whole sha-bang! An entire year captured on our digital camera. (Minus Thanksgiving pics that got erased, grr...)

Best Night of the Week

Every Thursday evening I get to leave this in Matt's capable hands...

And go see the girls...


Better known as Project Runway Night. Lindsey invites us all into her GORGEOUS home to watch Project Runway. The show finale was last night. We celebrated with curry at our house beforehand, in honor of Kris. My boys hardly knew what to do with all these pretty ladies coming through our front door!

The girls, Melissa, Lindsey, Kendall, Me, Kylee, Diana. Thank you Lindsey for a rich season of best nights of the week!

Guess what you are getting for Christmas!

A few weeks back, the fam headed to Lake Lowell with my INCREDIBLY talented friend Mandy. She agreed to do the marathon that is our family photos. I am so thrilled! She did wonders with harsh light, frosty winds, & wiggly boys. This is the same wonder woman that did these of Parker. Ahhh...yes, so good.

Sorry, if you like that Christmas morning surprise feeling, I just could not wait.

SO entertaining.

Parker got some new kicks. He has the same size feet as I do! Man, when he starts shaving, I am going to need a paper bag to breathe into.
