Christmas Eve

So I took 10 pictures before leaving for the Christmas Eve service at church trying to get one good group picture. These are the best of the bunch! Carson spent most of the time telling me to wait because he was trying to put his Matchbox car in his pocket.

We are having a white Christmas Eve here. A more than 30 degree drop in temperature from yesterday. We are loving the snow but wish we were in Michigan celebrating with our families!

Off to check if the kids are asleep and then do Santa's work!

Father Daughter Ball

This is the second year that Morgan and Chris have gone to the Father Daughter Ball. So cute! Our house is so chaotic right now that we never even got a picture of just Morgan and Chris. But this one is just as cute!
Can't you just picture a shot just like this one of Morgan and Carson about 10 years from now when she is going to her prom?

Angels

I ventured out to Target after school today with all three kids, only because we desperately needed a few things. Morgan and Carson were absolute angels (I guess the popcorn helped) and Holden slept the whole time. When I took this picture they were saying "We're married". By the time we left, it was "Okay, we're not married anymore". Oh my...lots of time to explain all that I guess.

Holden - 3 and 1/2 months

Perfect Tree

Not the way we wanted to do it, but just Chris and Morgan went to get our Christmas tree. We were running out of time for everyone to go and obviously the boys don't know what they are missing yet! She knew exactly which one she wanted and she picked the perfect tree for us! Especially since a decorated tree, a wreath and some lights outside is the extent of our holiday decorating!

Doesn't she look so old here?

I think it's love!

SNOW!

Look, it's snowing outside!
Outside when Morgan was getting picked up for school (realized that Carson's rain boots are too small for him, thus the Hello Kitty look)!
It stuck to the cars and the grass for a little while!
After school snack with warm cocoa and yummy homemade muffins (I know... homemade...gasp!).
