Some pictures














I had wanted to take nice Christmas pics of the kids, but I didn't get a chance to. So, we finally got a few the other day. I also let the kids play in the ice on the ground and got some pics of Abigail in her snowsuit and boots. She had a fun time trying to walk in her snow boots. : )

A little snow and a few visitors













We had a little bit of snow a few weeks ago. I honestly can't remember what day it was, but it was quite pretty. I had no clue it was coming. But, I don't check the weather...normally Kevin tells me what the weather will be like the next day. I guess he forgot to tell me. We were playing outside...I didn't realize it was 30 degrees outside...it did seem quite chilly when we were out there. But at this time of the year, it always seems quite chilly to me so I just make myself be cold so that my boys can play outside. Anyways, as they were playing in the backyard, little snowflakes started to fall on us. We were out in the little flakes for a little bit, but then we were planning on going to the library. The snow started to accumulate during nap time....which is a great time for it to come since I can sit and relax while watching it fall. It was not a lot of snow, but it was pretty and it stuck on the ground.

This Monday on MLK day, we had my sister, my cousin and his wife over for dinner. It was wonderful having them over. We hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving!! We had ham, potatoes, pineapple pudding, green beans, and bread for dinner. Then, we had chocolate chip cookies for dessert. The boys were so excited to see them. At breakfast, Caleb said, Mama, I'm so excited, I just can't wait!! They got to wrestle with Uncle Mike, sing songs and talk a bit with Aunt Anne and Aunt Kristen. Abigail got lots of snuggles with Uncle Mike and even said his name!! Its always so heartwarming to spend time with family and for the kids to get to know them better! We are so thankful to be close to family! Enjoy the pics!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Beeker's















We celebrated Christmas at the Kevin's parents on December 30th. We were all very excited to go and have Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Beeker and with Andy and Liz and family! The boys were both up and dressed and ready to go by 7:30 in the morning before Kevin and I were even out of bed. So, we ate quickly and headed for the fun! Of course, the 45 minute drive over was way too far for the boys to have to travel to see their cousins! The boys played outside for awhile before lunch. Then, we opened presents before Abigail's nap. Abigail does a great job holding her own with the 4 boys. They are relatively sweet with her which is nice! The boys all got some kind of playmobil...TJ got firefighters, Caleb got policemen, Aaron got pirates, and Drew got Egyptians. Abigail got a stroller for her baby doll and a purse and phone. We had a lovely time eating and playing and talking. It is always a fun time at Grandma and Grandpa's.
