Merry Christmas!

As you can imagine, Christmastime with 2 young children translates into a lot of pictures.  Rather than posting thousands of images, I've chosen a select few to show you what the kiddos were up to this season.  It's bittersweet because as I post this, I am looking at the un-decorated house reminded of all of our Christmas fun.  Of course, the nativities are still out as we wait for the wise men (the Epiphany)...so to be clear, we are still in celebration mode - welcome Jesus!

Wedding Weekend

This will be a long post of pictures, but it was a long, fun weekend full of memories :).  Both kids and I were honored to be a part of Hollis and Mike Walsh's wedding weekend.  Jack was the ring bearer, Lexi the flower girl, and I was a Matron of Honor.  We all had such a wonderful time and here is the proof :)!

Halloween

We always enjoy "old-school" Trick-or-Treat in our house.  We really enjoyed making Lexi's costume this year (paper doll), and the neighborhood seemed to think she was great :).  Jack dressed as his future career - train engineer.  We put on knit hats, two layers of clothes, loaded up the wagon and headed out - walking.  We are the only ones around I think who still walk, but it makes for a lot of fun memories.  Enjoy the pictures!
