Christmas Eve

After going to church, we spent the evening at mom's house.

Drew's first Christmas!

Celebration of Lights #2

Celebration of Lights

We did our annual sleigh ride in Oshkosh through the Celebration of Lights.

Eliana warmed up in the car with her grandma as we waited for everyone to show up.

We got McDonalds on the way down and she wouldn't give up her avatar toy. It looks pretty scary if you ask me, but she seemed to like it.

Eliana and her grandma.

Hat Pictures

Through my photography business I did some product and picture swapping. Here's Eliana my model.

Waving

Drew is so proud of himself waving.

St. Nick came to Grandma's House Too!

My mom had a stocking for each of us at her house. Eliana hasn't taken off her princesses necklaces since :)

Neither Drew nor Jameson were to excited about their hats. We thought they were cute though.

Microphone

Drew loves talking into the microphone.

He's taking more step! Drew took his first step on his 9 month birthday, but he has recently began to take more at a time. He gets so excited just like Eliana was. He'll be walking before he has any teeth!

Collage

Here's a couple collages with a pictures from the last 9 months.

Silly Singing

We definitely have an almost 3 year old. Eliana love to make up silly songs and lately many of them have involved bodily functions.

First Haircut

Drew got his first haircut tonight, Ben gave it to him. I know you probably are wondering what hair there was to cut, but his hair was going over his ears in the back, even though it's such a light blonde, he still has it.

He thought it was fine in the beginning...

then he decided he didn't like it so much anymore

(don't worry, there was no water in the bathtub!)

Let it Snow

As I'm sure you've seen on the news or have been experiencing yourself, we've been hit by snowstorm Allison. These pictures with Eliana were actually taken from Monday when we got a dusting of snow

These following pictures are from the big snowstorm. Drew wasn't quite sure what to think of it all.

Thank goodness for the snowblower.

College Friends

We got together with my college roommates and families last weekend. Emily is due in March and we just found out Jamie is due this summer with twins!

Thanks to Jill, all the kids had a fun treat to take home. Thanks so much!+

The kids had fun eating at their table.

Jamie will have her hands full soon....

St. Nick

St. Nick came this week.

She's into posing for me now.

She's still small enough to fit into Drew's 12 month vest.

Christmas Tree

Eliana helped me put together the Christmas Tree. We didn't get a real tree this year as we don't want Drew to find any needles to eat!

Of course, baby Belle helped too!

9 Months

I can't believe our baby boy is 9 months. He had his appt. this last week and weighed in at 12lb 17oz (8%) and was 28.5" long, about 55%. He's thinned out to be like his sister. He is happy and healthy and we are so blessed to have him.

He loves to feed himself.

Mmmmm avocado, he's the only one in the house that eats it :)
