Christmas Eve

On our way to mass on Christmas Eve we stopped at the square to take some pictures with the lights.

Elliette fell asleep during the service.

That gave Dave and I some one-on-one time with Will. We watched The Polar Express and then set out the milk and cookies for Santa.

It was a beautiful evening all around!

Christmas with the Burrises

We had a great day celebrating Christmas with Dave's parents!! The kids didn't waste much time asking to dig into the presents!

Corn Hole was a big hit and we had a major competition going for quite a while!

It was a wonderful day with our family!!

Halloween

We live a block off a main street in town. There are literally hundreds of kids trick or treating on this block. 

 

The kids had a great time and we were not out too late. 
 
 

 
 

Going to be an aunt!

It has been very exciting the last few months to think about my brother becoming a DAD! Wow!

He and Sandy are overjoyed and I'm having fun shopping for a new little one :)

I helped take a few pictures for them to announce...

When they were here at Thanksgiving we bought a few little things for his room- so fun!

Elliette turns 4

What happened!?! I woke up and my baby is 4!

Fall Photo Shoot

I was out on the trails today for my 31st photo shoot this month (ask and you shall receive!) and the kiddos were with me. Hmmm... a camera, a gorgeous fall day, two cute kids.... sounds like a recipe for a photo shoot! This is a rock we found while on the trail. It's a big Bentonville game: you paint rocks and hide them around town. Then you move them. They're everywhere! (Ps note to self; Elliette pronounces the game "Ventonville Rocks.")

Silly girl!

And then this handsome boy...
