January

David went to nephew Grayson's blessing with Annie in January.  On their way home, they met Uncle Greg in the airport!!

 We had fun at home...

 David and I took A & J to Mod Pizza for lunch one day and they couldn't get enough of their shades.

 I wanted a nice Christmas picture of the kids on Sunday in the girls' pretty velvet-top dresses and Mason's new church clothes.  Kate choreographed everyone.

Kate had her 100th day of school!  She wore an old lady sweater, had lines on her face, and had a walking stick.

Julie is just the cutest girl ever.  She leans her head to the side when she wants to say "cheese!" for a picture.  She says words like "dada, mama, ow, uh-oh, bubble, ball, a, e, i, o, u, out," and most recently, "no."

 Annie had a fun time at a birthday party for one of her preschool friends at a gymnasium.  She got really good at this dinosaur puzzle from Christmas!!

David and Me at a Celebrate Dental work Christmas party at a Brazilian restaurant.  It was a nice evening and we are so proud of how he's done with his office.

December

Our neighborhood had a Christmas party and they had THE best Santa and Mrs. Clause ever!

 Annie put on makeup on David one afternoon and it felt so good he felt asleep.

 Kate's Christmas party at Kindergarten!  They watched Polar Express and got to wear their pajamas to school.

 Julie and her friend Gracie!

My parents sent some Christmas presents from their Israel trip :)

David took Mason, Kate, and Annie tubing--it was SO cold they didn't last long.

Grandma gave us the best Christmas blanket!  It's from one of our favorite books, I love you to the moon, and it has pictures of our family on it.

Happy 31 birthday to me.

LegoLand for school break for the win.

Kate wanted a giant gingerbread man to decorate.  Annie and Mason then also wanted one.

Annie's hair is getting long!

 Annie had a cute Christmas preschool party.

Mason is losing more teeth!  Here is a paper he wrote for school, haha.

We had cousins come visit and Raleigh and Mason are missing the same tooth!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!

Kate wanted a My Little Pony party, with cake, presents, pinata, games, and a treasure hunt; she had it all planned out.  We invited a few friends over and Kate just had a great time.

We have had a lot of school days this year; today is our 5th one.  Mason and Kate have done an awesome job clearing our sidewalks and driveway of snow.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2017!

We had a fun Christmas Eve and Christmas.  We did lots of family time, played with toys, ate great food, watched Christmas movies, and listened to Christmas music. 

Mason is doing basketball this winter--he has gotten better and better ever since last year!  We love watching him play.
