New Nephews!

We are Super Excited that This Little Boy is Here!

 

What a Lucky Month January is to have this 

handsome man celebrate his birthday! 

The girls are very excited to meet their new cousin soon!

And they are also excited for this little girl to find out 

what being a big sister is all about!!

Because it is AWESOME!!

I'm looking forward to baby snuggles as well!!

Mr. T and Shane go Skiing!

Shane Had a great opportunity to take Mr. T skiing 

with a group of Alpine Club members.

I was totally on board as the group was going overnight 

and there were going to be a large number of kids!

Some Serious fun going on!

 They skied in the first day to the cabin and enjoyed 

drying out and eating LOTS of Pizza!

Then the Treats and Adult goodies were bought out!!

Eventually everyone found a place to lay their heads!

Not before some Star Watching!

Seriously How Gorgeous is this!!

Then there was lots of breakfast to enjoy!

And then sledding, all around the lodge!

There were plenty of other activities but these guys 

were tired and decided after sledding and 

a massive bowl of Macaroni and Cheese for Mr. T

that it was time to head home!

Mr. T still talks about how we all need to ski 

to the big house with all the snow!

They had a grand time!

Ms. A's Baptism

Wow what an amazing day.

As I posted about earlier, we lost some photos.

Including EVERY photo of Ms. A's Baptism.

It's a good thing that Grandma Loves us enough 

to share her photo's with us!!

 

We sure love this girl and are glad 

she is a part of our family!!

It's a good thing that I have a kind 

and understanding husband!

We were so blessed and in the end it was a wonderful

beautiful day and I tried to focus on 

Ms. A and her experience, 

and let everything else fall to the side.

Ms. A turns 8!

Well as life would have it - I spent a lot of time and energy 

getting myself all caught up only to 

Immediately Fall Behind!

Life Happens and Technology is not always our friend.

Ms. A turned 8 and she had an amazing birthday week!  

We had an 8 shaped cake on her actual birthday and 

later that night she went to "8 is Great!"  

(a night all about baptism, which is coming up next!)

But before we could get any photo's off Shane's phone 

it needed to be serviced and as luck would have it 

we lost everything about her actual birthday party.

Like I said Sometimes Technology is really not our friend.

Thank goodness I splurged and had a mini shoot for her 

in anticipation of her birthday/baptism.

Thanks a Hundred Billion Times over to Taryn Whitton 

for coming over in the snow to snap these 

amazing shots at such short notice!

I know I've said it recently but SERIOUSLY!

CHECK THIS LADY OUT!

New Years Eve at zoo lights!

Although this got postponed what seemed 

for the kids to be FOREVER!

We TOTALLLY LOVED ZOO LIGHTS

 on New Years Eve!

It was SUPER COLD!

The kids loved every minute and wanted to stay till Fireworks, 

but we decided to opt for cozy rides home!

(these kids were glad for the blankets 

for the van ride home!)

The crowd was manageable and the activities were awesome!

Even ms. V who was stuck in the stroller the whole 

time enjoyed herself pointing to all the lights!

The girls loved dancing with The Grinch Too!
