How can you not smile when you see this cute girl?  

Lexie telling Abbie the Christmas story using our Nativity Set.  It was so sweet to watch Lexie sharing something so sacred with Abbie.

We decorated the Christmas tree today.  The kids couldn't wait one more minute.

Today was this little angel's birthday(my niece).  One year ago today she was born with an undiagnosed heart defect, for some time they didn't know if she was going to make it.  As of today she has had two heart surgeries and will have more in the future, but she is a healthy active little girl and if you didn't know what she had been through already in her short life you would never know just to look at her.  She reminds me every day to be thankful for my family.

Everyone needs a cousin their same age (or close to it) to play with.  All of my kids have been blessed to have a cousin (or two or three) the same age, to play with, torment and love.  Abbie and Zack are only 4 months different in age and are so cute when they get together (once they get in a good fight or two).

No nap girl.  She is trying so hard to give up her nap.  I'm not ready for her to give it up.  Some days she does just fine staying up, some days she sleeps, and others are a lot harder.  Tonight she feel asleep while waiting for dinner.  

We went to Disney on Ice... it was a blast.  The kids loved every minute.

How can you not love this face.  She knows how to use those dimples to get whatever she wants.  (already)  

"Tato Head"  Toy Story 3 has brought a new love for these old guys, my kids can't get enough....

I got to watch Heather's girls today.  We had a great day playing with cousins that we don't get to have over for all day very often.  Everyone was super good and we had a fun time.  This was when we watching a movie and having some quieter time.

I love taking pictures of my kids.  

Got some really good pictures of the kids today.  Lexie is so easy to photograph, and she is so pretty.

Jake and Ashton winterizing the yard equipment.  I looked out the window while I was making lunch and couldn't resist taking a picture, I love it when they get to work together on some guy thing.
