Hannah - 10 weeks old

Hannah is 10 weeks old already and growing fast. She's a very sweet baby and is sleeping an average of 7 hours a night. AWESOME! She loves her bath and her brothers and smiling at her people.

Happy New Year!

Feeding the cows

We had a quiet New Year's Day with Grandma and Grandpa. The boys got to go to the farm with Grandpa to help him feed the cows. They were in heaven even though it was pretty cold. They didn't care about the weather! The rest of the day we lounged around and ate lots of food and watched a Hermie movie. What a great way to start the new year! We are thankful for all our blessings this past year and look forward to what new adventures this year will bring us.

I was the lucky winter of the 1979 family photo. Thanks Ashley!

10 weeks old and Hannah loved her first Christmas!

She really wasn't as scared as she looks!

Christmas Day with the Nislys was fun for all! Hannah slept most of the day. She tends to shut down when it's noisy and it was VERY noisy! The boys loved playing with their cousins and the White Elephant Gift exchange brought out some doozy gifts. I was the lucky winner once again of the family photo that keeps circulating around the family. But we also came home with some yummy homemade bread and a breakfast kit from Natasha. YUM! All in all a great Christmas for everyone!

We opened a couple of family gifts Christmas morning before heading up to Hutchinson to have Christmas with the whole Nisly gang. At this point, the boys had gotten really good at ripping open their gifts in record time, which was good and gave them more time to play before it was time to leave.

Christmas Eve

New clothes!

a new Thomas shirt!

Matt built this amazing bean bag toss game for the boys. It's slightly dangerous, but super cool!

DANGER: Notice the bean bag to the left of Luke's head. It's a good thing Andrew's aim was a little off!

We had a great night Christmas Eve opening presents and spending time with family. Mom and dad made us a delicious dinner of smoked pork loin, sweet potatoes, bread, banana pudding, and creme brulee. The kids were in heaven as the presents kept rolling in. They opened their presents so fast that we didn't even catch any of it on film. They may have set some new records!

Christmas gifts - part 3

Hannah scored some super cute pink boots, but she only has eyes for her big brother.

Jonathan loved his new Thomas Aquadoodle. (He's a little obsessed with Thomas these days.)

We opened our gifts from the Fleurys the day after Christmas. We really believed in making Christmas last and last and last! Thanks for everything! We loved it all...except for those loud, remote control bumper cars. Well, the boys loved it all. Keith and I are planning our revenge.
