Hey cuz!

We had too much fun with Erica and cousin Vi at Christmas. They are just a month apart. Although Erica appears to be bigger, it is Vi who was born on June 7th and Erica July 8th. It will be so much fun watching them grow up together! It was incredible to finally meet my niece. We love you sooo much Vivienne!

We know...we're cute!


"Ta Da!"


Don't you love putting things in your mouth...how do you taste cuz?




Do people always do this to you?




Aww...you're the best!

Snow, snow, snow...and it's only December!

The girls have really enjoyed the snow this year and we love that we have neighbors right behind us that we can play with too!



..maybe next year Erica...

Kylia's Christmas Program

They were all dressed for the special night...



You did great Kylia! We're so proud of you!

Oswego Christmas Walk

It was extremely cold, but it was fun to get into the Christmas spirit with all the music, lights and festivities. We road a horse drawn sleigh, did crafts, ate lots of local cuisine, and drank lots of hot chocolate! Erica was snuggly warm at Aunt Pat and Uncle Tim's.

THANKSGIVING 2008

Thank you to Abby for hosting Thanksgiving at your home this year. It had been around 10 years since I Iast saw Nathan and our families got to meet for the first time. It was a lot of fun for the cousins to finally meet and play, play, play! Here's a rare picture of Grandpa with almost all his great-grandchildren... just missing Vivienne!

Happy 3rd B-Day Julia!

November 3rd
Julia had a quiet birthday celebration first at Chuck E. Cheese with just our family and then that night a few neighbors came over to sing Happy Birthday and eat cake at our house. We also celebrated over the weekend with Grandma, Grandpa, Great-grandpa and Grandma's friend Carol.
