First Snow

Last year we didn't have much play time in the snow. Already this year they decided that they love it!

Christmas Lights

We have lots of lights this year! The picture is a little blurry, but you get the idea!

Grandpa Arnold made Santa for the girls last year. This year he added "Santa -Stop here for Hannah/Taylor" signs. The girls ask daily how many more days until Santa comes. They don't understand why he comes in through the fireplace though.

Parker Christmas

December 5 - the Parker family got together for Christmas in Lafayette.

Hannah, Taylor, and Dallas are fixing Uncle Scott's leg and shoe!

Hannah opening presents....

Taylor opening presents....

Gross!

(not really this is a cute picture, but I still had to say it!)

How much Jell-O can a 3 year old eat?

Visiting the Ahnerts

Dec 5 we went to Ahnerts to play with Ava and Elsie! They girls had a great time. 4 - 3 year old girls at once - WOW! I could not do quads!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

We went to Manito to get a real tree. The girls loved it! The tree farm was huge. After we picked our tree, we loaded it onto a huge tractor and it took us back to the barn. We had hot cider too!

The finished tree!


In the basement we have an artifical tree. The theme is "outdoor/sports". To help light the tree, I made "redneck" christmas lights out of shotgun shells.
Looks pretty good!

Cousins

Grandma had a full bed!

Random

Grandma Rose came to visit us while the guys were shooting deer in IN.

If only every moment was this loving!

We spent the end of Oct. and majority of Nov. sick. The Doc thought Hannah had the flu, then both girls had a week of strep throat. Taylor also had an ulcer on her tongue (it looked awful). So glad we are healthy again!

Poor girl just wanted to sleep.
