Home & Holidays


Taking over Great Grandma and Great Grandma's couch!! More kids than adults? Yes! We are loving our times together with Allison and Johnny!


We made it out the door in a record 20 minutes, and amazingly, all four fit in the sled.

Decorating cookies at Auntie Amy and Uncle David's. I think each cookie Gretta decorated was purple.

Sammy didn't understand the concept of frosting the cookies and eating them later...

Gretta turned four this month! She loved twirling in her dress and opening presents...her favorite, a musical jewelry box from Auntie Amber and Uncle Brian.

Pink cupcakes with sprinkles...mmmm!

Blowing out the candles...

Gretta (4), Silas (1) and Sam (2).


Here is our tree on Christmas morning. Tim and I were up at 6:30. We had a cake in the oven, and finished putting gifts out, only to wait. And wait. We sat on the couch and stared at the tree. Do we wake them up? Nah. Let's just enjoy the quiet! The kids didn't wake up until after 7!


Gretta opening a sticker maker from GG and Gampy...


Silas in his new life jacket from Grandma Lo and Grandpa Jer...


And Sammy just as enthusiastic about his last gift as his first. He was so joyful and full of thanks!

And the best news to share for last...Congratulations Uncle Phil & Danielle on your engagement!! We are so thankful for our soon-to-be "Auntie"!!!
