Walking advertising

Some of the cutest advertising around. WE MIGHT have to start charging!

Thanks for letting us visit, Papa Russ!

Never slowing down

Our lives keep going and going and going. Company was in town for 15 days, and we tried to fit it all in and live our usual lives. It was a lot of fun!

Jack went to the Jelly Belly Factory (train ride) with Cousin Sadie and Nora stayed home with me to visit with friends.

This is Jack so excited! See, the boot didn't slow him down much.

We threw a shower for Melissa and Manda, who are both due at the end of March. We are so excited for two new nephews, and the two new moms/dads!


A little field trip to the fire station, with cousins and our friend.

Trying on hats, and playing in the back of the antique fire truck! This may have been the little kid's favorite part!

Jack and Sadie playing on the I-PADS
Claire and Nora playing/chasing eachother around
And that's all the pictures I have. We also celebrated new years together with games, food, and sleeping children! Happy new Year!

Christmas (in pictures)


With church at 8:30 in the morning, we decided to get away with Santa coming after church.
how cute is she?
Nora's favorite present- crinkle cloth coins that came in her purse full of all kinds of good stuff.
Jack's favorite- Cars 2 Racetrack (with remotes)
A happy girl, we just handed her the best toy... PAPER!

No pictures, but we had lunch and opened presents with Dan's parents
Jack LOVED (and still loves) the Football Snow Tube (he is napping with it)
We are just waiting for snow!
Nora loves her rubber duckies! They help her not go as CRAZY in the bathtub!

Christmas at the Wilson's. Can we say CRAZY?
So happy!

Acting out the Nativity- Jack is the Wise Man (we got a crack out of his costume, and the irony)

And now he is a donkey/horse. Nora was already sleeping so she missed out.

And a family picture taken by Dan's cousin at his big family Christmas.

That is our Christmas, in a nutshell.
It was WONDERFUL and EXHAUSTING all at the same time.
But we wouldn't have it any other way!
