do their Baby Sister's next Christmas!

One of our first stops...The Ice Palace to see Santa!

Obviously not truly Cold, however...

you would have thought these boys

were in Vail...jumping in some Snow in their Flip Flops!!!

Sweet Brooks all Smiles as we wait to

tell the Big Guy whats on the List this Year!!

Sure...why not...lets dive into some

Fake Snow! And they did!

Good Times! Brody having a blast with the Snow!!

The Ice Palace was fun...Polar Bears...

and All About the Frozen Planet!

Snowing!!!

I think these boys are ready to hit Vail again!!

They had such a great time playing in this Snow!

And yes they were covered in Snow!

I love the simplicity of good holiday fun!!

Kings of the Ice Palace!!

Such a fun time!

My Sweet Boys were thrilled to see Santa..

(who knew you couldn't snap a shot with your phone of Santa)

...the big talk was .....was that Santa's Helper or was it Santa?

Happy Friday the 13th!!!

34 Weeks

 34 Weeks and things are really getting good!!

Yes, we are enjoying a Jolly Holly Christmas and I am very Pregnant!

Baby Girl is growing....Brody told me when I woke up this morning

that my Belly was bigger than when I went to bed!

You really gotta love the honesty of a 5 year old!

Could it be the Chocolate that I crave every afternoon

around 3 pm right before I feel like crashing!!

Feeling Great! Very Excited...a bit emotional

when I think of the reality of being a Mom of 3 very Special Children!

It's becoming so real...final touches all over the place!

The Baby Girl Nursery, The Baby Bag, The Nail Polish for January, 

The Nesting, and Organization/Preparation!!!

She is growing everyday...The Size of a Cantaloupe!

She is really starting to fill out and smooth out that beautiful skin!!

Truly a Miracle!!!

Physically Exhausted!!!

So Thankful...

So Thankful for so many things!

Feeling more than Blessed with Family, Health, and Love! 

Fall and Thanksgiving was such a treat this year!

Sharing it with our loved ones and great food! So thankful and grateful!

We truly feel Blessed! This has been a very exciting Season!

The Weather is cooler ...Welcome the Winter and the Joy of Christmas!!
