Christmas Tree Time

Brynlee trying to eat the paper...

 Jaylee asking if she can be Misses Claus...  She was also dressing up like it wasn't 0 degrees outside!

 Brecken's favorite ornament is a train!

 It wouldn't be a family if Torie wasn't here to help...Actually she left right before and I called her to come back because it was weird without her!

 The kids were really specific on where they wanted the ornaments to go..and wouldn't let me move them.

 Even if it meant there were 7 on one branch!

 My first kid decorated tree, that I didn't re decorate.

 Again Brynlee trying to eat something!

Where's Brecken?

Bryn learned how to play hide and seek recently, so we have obviously been doing it so much that Brecken is constantly hiding himself now and whats super funny is he acts like we for real can't see him!  He packs around his pillow and blanket everywhere in the house!  It's amazing we are able to leave the house with out it!

Little Terror

Bryn has become a little terror..she loves to make messes!  Which is my worse nightmare!  She loves to pull out all of the ziplock bags and then just crawl away, only to wait for me to pick them up and do it all over again.  Good thing she's so dang cute!

Light Show in Pittsburgh

We all went to this amazing lightshow it was so beautiful!  There was like 3 miles of awesome lights! Jaylee drove us through!

 Brecken slept through the entire thing.

 And Bryn was happy with Grandma...

 This tunnel made me dizzy it blinked red then ehite then blue then all together...But it was pretty.

 

This was the end to our trip in Pittsburgh.  Obviously we had a great time while we were there.  We are so thankful to have such wonderful families surrounding us in our lives.  They are all so helpful.  The one thing I left out was that throughout this trip we all got the FLU and yet it was a successful fun trip! 

Jess' Photo Shoot

Jess had a mini photo shoot with the kiddos...  The pictures are super cute.  Somewhere we actually have pictures of Chase and JJ around this age together with a white background.

I love this pic of Bryners!

 Have I mentioned that Bryn really likes to eat..she's trying to eat his head off!

 I LOVE this one of these two silly kids.  This is so how JJ is all the time silly and fun..

Jess is a super talented photographer...She really is able to take naturally beautiful pics we are so grateful for all the pictures you have taken for us.  Thanks Jess.

After Thanksgiving Fun

 The ipods provide so much entertainment sometimes!

 Jess painted every ones toenails..MJ had to have pink.  Hmmm I don't know about him sometimes.  Silly boy.

 These two are so cute they are so sweet to each other and really love each other so much it makes my heart melt.  JJ loves her Chaser Bug.

 My sweet girl.. It sad to think that 1/4 of the time that she will be living with me is already over soon she will be grown and it will happen so much sooner than I want.  I love her so much she is so much like me and so loving and caring for others that I know I can learn things from her.

 Our cuties together again...

 The Crew..I think Tally and MJ should've switched costumes!! Just kidding bc MJ LOVES to dress up "pretty!"

 Dirty Girl, I can't keep this girl clean. Mainly because she like food so much that she is ALWAYS eating.

 The weather was awesome so the kids could go out and play together.

 OHHH.. come on this is freaking cute!

 Showin Grandma some love!

Sleepy time...

Mark and Matthew are really good at helping the kids take naps!

MJ

Seriously though..like words can't explain how funny this was.  Mark put the turkey leg on his plate and then MJ looked at it and swiped it up and just went to town!  He is his dad.

Thankgiving...The preparation.

Jess made the table all cute..

 She made super cute name bards....

 The boys were in charge of the Turkey.. I think they enjoyed being out there without the kids and women!  It was there man time.

 The TURKEY...Seriously looks so yummy.

 I was in charge of keeping the kids busy.  I brought pin the tail on the Turkey, it helped for a few minutes.

Trip To Pittsburgh

For Thanksgiving we decided to go out to Pittsburgh and visit Marks twin and his family.  We have lived close to them until recently and the kids really miss each other so we were really excited that we could go out there.  To make the trip even better Marks parents came out here and them drove the kids to Pittsburgh a few days before Mark could leave!  So we only had to drive with Bryn!!  That was so relaxing because it was a really long late night drive!  Plus it was great bonding time for MJ and JJ with Grandma and Pie.  Here are some cute pics that Jess took of the kids.

Jess made turkeys with them..I love that JJ always writes out our names!  I think its so funny.

 My cute little mini mommy.

 Oh..the ipods.....

 The middle children..  These two are super cute together because they look like siblings and kind of have similar personalities!

 Of course some wrestle time..
