Enjoying!

Jonathan and Sarah just enjoying a Tangled together! As you can see Sarah just loved her dress up clothes! I recently been thinking about how much it is a blessing that they are so close in age! At first I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I trusted he knew what he was doing! But now they are best buddies and just love playing with each other (most of the time). Jonathan recently told Dave that well Sarah was at preschool he missed her!!!

Gordon is 11 months old

At Great Grandpa Birthday party! Gordon enjoys his food (those are black beans)!

Gordon turned 11 months the day after Christmas! Time sure flies! Gordon has found his voice, this past month it just came out of no where! I told Dave one day that i think that we might have a quiet boy. But he responded by telling me that he is there Daddy! well, sure enough the next we Gordon found his voice! He says, ma ma, da da, ba ba (brother). Gordon continues to eat and eat! He loves to get into things and explore! He loves to be with his brother and sister, and is very patient with them as they "play" with him! He stood for a sec, but decided he wasn't into that. We will see when he wants to start to walk!

Christmas

Christmas morning we woke up very early! Before the kids so we could be ready! Gordon woke up first, and well we were changing him, Sarah came in and was SOOOO EXCITED and said Santa woke me up! Then we woke up Jonathan!

Can you see the excitement in Sarah's face!

What a fun age!

Now Jonathan is ready and Happy!

Really Ready!

Time to open Stockings!
Santa brought snowshoes for the kids!

Gordon

She just loved her phone!

His own elf!

Gordon was so content sitting on Daddy's lap!

Jonathan and Sarah both gave me presents! It was so cute as they were SOOO excited about it, Jonathan made things out of his Lego's and told me about what each thing. It was so sweet!

My sweet Sarah also made a package for me!

So was so excited that she got twin babies! She was in heaven. If you ask Sarah who gave her something everything was from Santa! She just thinks Santa is the best!

I made this cute ball for Gordon! And it even jingled!

I got this cool bowl from my in laws from Hawaii!

Sarah received new boots from Santa and she loves them, every time she puts them on she says they are just like Grammy's!

We gave Jonathan this helicopter and after he opened it, he said just what I wanted!

Grammy helping Sarah get her dress up clothes out! She just loves them and wears them all the time!

All ready for church!

After church I needed to go see a patient, so Dave hung out at with the kids and then went over to Grammy and Papa's for lunch. We had panni's they were SOO good!

Gordon just LOVED this teddy bear Grammy and Pap gave him, he just laughed and laughed at it! It was so cute to watch!

Jonathan just loves his Scooby do pjs, he wears them every night until we tell him we need to wash them! Jonathan really like scooby do, and super hero's (but still loves monkey George)

Sarah got this sweet elephant from Grammy and Papa, and Sarah got her hair down by Kristi!

Sarah got this cute hat from Craig and Liz, which went right along with her dress up chest!

Jonathan got this basketball hoop from Craig and Liz also, and he is getting better all the time!

After we the kids played the fishing game, and enjoyed each others company!

Then we got ready for dinner! Sarah and Ben helping snap the green beans! It was a very nice Christmas!

Christmas Eve Family Home Evening

We had a nice Family home evening at our house this year! It was fun to be home and have Grammy and Papa with us! We enjoyed Cafe Rio, singing Carols, nice little lesson from Daddy, giving a gift to Jesus (Jonathan's was being more reverent at church), and then we took some pictures, wrote a letter to Santa with a Santa cookie, and then read a Christmas story and scriptures and off to bed!

Sarah enjoyed leading!

As you can tell, the kids where so excited!

I just love this one!
One of our family tradition is we wear red pjs to bed on Christmas eve!

Craig stopped by with the girls!

Writing a letter to Santa! I just love them working together with Daddy!

Santa came! I just love the magic of Christmas!

Exhausted!

After many days in a row of little naps going to bed late! On Wednesday, I put Gordon in the highchair for a snack and he was OUT! Poor little guy!

Santa Cookies!

On Tuesday afternoon we decorated our traditional Santa cookies at my parents. The kids each decorated one star!

Gordon being my happy boy!
