Spreading Christmas Cheer!

Man I love these kiddos! We am very grateful to have them in our lives! Dan and I (still after 15 years) look around and say,
"Holy Cow...we are married...and have kids!"

Kennedy is 14 and REALLY good at it! She is hilarious and extremely helpful. I wouldn't have made it through this year without her help! She is still playing the Cello and the piano. She plays beautifully! Her favorite song on the Cello: Jaws! Her favorite pass-time: reading and pushing our buttons! We have a teenager folks!

Noah is 10! This kid is witty to boot and makes us laugh all the time! He is BFF with Reagan at the moment. She knows he will give her what she wants - and he is loving every minute of it! He plays the piano as well and is surprised that he really likes it! His favorite book series: The Lightning Thief. His favorite pass-time: sigh...the Wii! Love this kid!

Rylee is 7 going on 16! I am scared! This one keeps us on our toes! She is a dancer and a singer and plays the piano too! She is a firecracker and WE L O V E her! She makes everyone laugh and smile! We love to listen to her stories (true or not) because they are always interesting. They usually are about her being chased by some boy that can't catch her. Sigh...we are toast! She loves her brother Luke...she tells people they are twins. We find them matching clothes often...I love it!

Luke is 5 and a cool little dude! He sports a faux hawk most days (dino man)! He is in Kindergarten and loves reading his books to Reagan. He always has a "Great Idea" and they usually consist of food options. He is my little buddy in the morning after the kids leave for school and Rea is still sleeping. He made me waffles for me today! He is really excited for Christmas - sure hope Santa brings him what he wants!!

Reagan is 15 months and chubby and fun and adorable and sneaky and silly and we ALL love her! She spices up our family and we find ourselves sitting in a circle watching her do things. She is getting into everything and is taking after her brother Noah is the eating department! Holy Cow she can eat! She signs "milk" "more" and "thank you"! Oh she is adorable! We can't wait until Christmas to see her tear into the paper!

Dan and I are up to no good as usual. Dan has started a new company, but is able to work from home and we love that! We are just loving life and enjoying our kiddos! We are grateful for this time of year that reminds of our Savior Jesus Christ and his example. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a FAB-ulous New Year!
