Christmas Pictures

Mom and Bree

The girls learned to crawl around Christmas time.  Now that they are mobile life has gotten a bit more interesting.  They don't usually head the same direction.

 Now that they are moving around it is really fun to see them interact.  It is not unusual to see one climb over the other to get a toy.  Or to take a toy from the other.  Which does usually end in tears.  Bree is on top of Kenzie in this picture.

We have had a good amount of snow this winter.  Kevin was able to take Blake sledding and build snow men with him. 

 On Christmas Eve we got together with the Christensen's and acted out the nativity.  Here is Kate being an angel.  We couldn't get Blake to come put his shepherd costume on. 

 But the twins were the cutest little sheep you ever saw.

Here are some random pictures from Christmas day.  We had a wonderful holiday and got to share the day with both sides of the family.

 This is a pirate ship Santa brought Blake.  I understand Santa was up until 2 am putting it together.  Next year Santa is only bringing toys that are preassembled.

Blake got this tool set for Christmas and was so excited to use it to help dad fix stuff.

Here he is helping Kevin add a cable line to the outlet.

Fall Pictures

Kate celebrated yet another birthday this fall.  I can't believe how quickly time moves these days.  Here is my attempt at her birthday cake.  These are cupcakes frosted as roses skewered into a flower pot to be her bouquet of roses.   

It's a bird, no it's a plane, no, it's super Blake.  Grandma gave him this super hero cape quite a while ago, but he is now wearing it about everyday.  So naturally that is what he wanted to wear for Halloween this year.  

Kate was a dancing princess girl.  She wanted to wear her costume from last years dance recital.  No complaints from me.  Another year where I didn't have to go buy costumes.  Yeah.  Here is Kate with our squash haul from the garden.  I can't remember the exact number but suffice it to say there is two more boxes in the storage room in the house not shown here. We have been eating at least 1 a week and we have hardly put a dent in it.

So, here is Kevin at his work costume contest, which they won.  He and his coworkers dressed as the Avengers.  Except for Raggedy Anne.   I am not sure why she is there.  Kevin is Captain America.

Here they are enjoying the new park near our house.

Here I am with my girls.

 
Cute little monkeys.  


Daddy celebrated another birthday.

As did Blake.  He really loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates so he got a little pirate costume and Buckey.  This is one happy pirate.

A couple pictures from Grandmas at Thanksgiving.
