Happy Valentine's Day

"You've Come a Long Way Baby!"

In January, Charlotte learned to sit like a pro and began solids. She's getting cuter and cuter every day...and bigger. *sad face*

Happy Birthday!

Whew! Starting December 29th, four of our kids have their birthdays in a 5 week period. (Matt's is a few weeks after that.) Anywho, here's a quick little view of their day (and all were healthy this year! ROCK ON)

First was Sammi's...she's now 10

Then Keith's - he's 5

Then came Eli's - he turned 3

Maddi was the last and turned 7

Happy Happy Birthday!

'Nuff Said.

Christmas Time Was Here

We got our decorations up the Saturday after Thanksgiving and Maddi and Sammi were WAY into it all. It was a wonderful Christmas - yummy treats, caroling, secret packages hidden away, hot chocolate, Christmas cookies, but sadly, no snow. Ah, well. We spent Christmas Eve with my family, Christmas morning at home and Christmas Day with Matt's.

















Yes, my friends...Charlotte is holding a wand. Matt made everyone their own Harry Potter-esque wand. (except for me...I asked him how on earth I'm supposed to defend myself now.) *sigh* Ah, well..it was a very Merry Christmas!
