Christmas Eve 2010

Not quite sure what had Noah so surprised.

Our 3 beautiful babies. Ok, 2 of them are getting further and further from babies but I am thinking it is likely I will be one of those moms who always thinks of them as my babies.

Noah had to make sure to tuck his shirt in so we could make sure to see the football on his new jammies.

I had such a hard time finding Christmas jams for Olivia. I was thrilled when I found these. How much more adorable can she get?

Zoey is so over me having to take a picture for everything. She is a pretty good sport most the time though.

Look what I can do Mom! Noah comes up with the weirdest stuff. Oh dear...

Santa always goes away with tasty stuff from our house. Zoey wrote Santa's name on his cup. I thinks it's funny that the S is backwards.

Look at all those presents just waiting to be opened. I am so thankful every year for the ability to put presents under the tree.

Christmas Cookies

We loved baking and decorating cookies this past Christmas. Zoey is so fun because she is getting more and more into this kind of thing. My mom and dad came over and did some cookie decorating too. It was a fun thing for everyone.

This is the way Zoey holds her mouth when she is working hard on something.

I am pretty sure Noah ate more M&Ms than he put on cookies. That's half the fun though right?!

Christmas Sunday Best

How totally gross is the snot?! I just couldn't help but post it.

Family Christmas Pics

Many may not know it but we really are just crazy people.Just a couple others I like. Can you tell how thrilled Olivia was to be taking pictures?

Look What I Can Do

Went in to get Olivia out of bed after a nap sometime in December and found this. That is one proud happy baby. She not only was happy to see mommy but also so proud of her accomplishment of pulling herself up to standing in her bed. I LOVE when little ones start standing in their cribs. I just think it is so stinkin adorable to go in and have them jump up and down and smile with excitement to see you.

I will chew my way out if I have too!

Little Gamer

Little Noah LOVES video games. I really mean he LOVES them. He is pretty darn good too. Oh how it kills him when I cut him off or he gets grounded from them. He's playing Daddy's DS here which is a special treat. Only kids who have been really good get to play the DS. This 4 year old trips me out with his gaming. He figures out how to play games pretty quick. I guess it is in his blood.

Just a Cute Baby

Eating her first biter biscuit (a while back).

I think it's safe to say she likes it.

I love this picture. She was just chillin outside in the stroller while Jenn hung Christmas lights on the house. That round face and those big eyes just kill me. We adore this baby.

Sleepy Jumper

Jenn talked to my mom last night and learned that our cousin had crashed his mom's car into a pole. The following commentary took place.

Zoey - (Thinking about this cousin and him being old enough to drive) "He can drive?"

Noah - "No, because he hit a pole."

Oh my heavens I am still laughing today. Noah doesn't miss a beat. Even when you don't think he is listening he is and you never know what is going to come out of this child's mouth. He can be quite a booger sometimes but the kid keeps us laughing ALL the time.

Cookie Baking

I did my best to get the kids involved in all things during the holidays. This year they got to help me mix up cookie dough. It may seem lame that mixing dough is a special thing for them but if you know me you know that it is hard for me to not just do things on my own. I really struggle to just let go and have the patience to let them help. I love when I do though. It always ends up being a great time. We had a great time making cookies and eating them was even more fun.
