Our Christmas scene

The indoor Children's Gardens at MSU

The kids would not go near Santa...so they sit in the sleigh alone...

The amazing poinsettia "tree"

Fun Times

Visiting with my San Fran friend Melissa and her daughter Adelle

My Birthday


Dane's Gingerbread house

Picking out our Christmas tree

STL, con't...

The cousins got a night out while the aunts watched all 11 of our kids...in our family if you look at your significant other you get pregnant. I'm not kidding. If my numbers are right only 5 of the 11 babies were planned. That's a lot of "surprises!"

The Magic House is by far the biggest and most amazing Children's Museum for young children I have ever experienced.



We Give Thanks


This year, for the first time we went to St. Louis for Thanksgiving. It was a good change of pace...knowing that being Up North would be extremely lonely and sad this year. The car ride was a long 9 hours - one way. The kids did okay, with Glory being the expected pain-in the behind. She slept 1 hour out of nine.


The whole weekend was filled with tons of people...and food...and fun! I am really sad that I took hardly any pictures and not one picture of my two kids together. I plan to do a reenactment to get a picture of them together in their Turkey Day outfits.

Trip to St. Louis, Thanksgiving Weekend

This is about as good as it gets, folks. Family pics don't work out too well for us!

My family celebrated all the November and December Birthdays...this was Dane's turn. He was so excited and cute about it!


Big almost-three-year-old

He loved his cupcake, of course!
(I was freaking out about all the blue frosting he ate)

flashback...halloween!











Better Late than never!?!?
