We couldn't believe that Greta kept this hat on her head today.

A Story and a Few Smiles

"Greta is my best friend"

Aaron often goes up to Greta, gives her a big ol' kiss, tells her he loves her, and that she is his best friend. So sweet.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Greta has been obsessed by wearing my shoes lately. The other morning Aaron joined in on the fun.

My Big Girl

I used to sit and take tons of pictures of my chubby little Claudia just like I do with little Greta. She's not quite so little (or chubby) any more and it's hard to sometimes find a reason to sit and snap. The other day I had Claudia sit as I was testing my lighting for my Drew photos. (she was doing math work as I snapped) She is getting so big...

Family Christmas

It was fun to get together for a "belated" Christmas with my family this year. I really enjoyed being able to use my new space for something fun. It was sooooo nice to have the room to serve and seat everybody.
We tried to have a slow and peaceful gift opening, it went pretty well.

Greta concentrating hard on getting her coins in her new piggy bank.

I love the look of anticipation on Aaron's face.

Morgan was very excited about her new American Girl book.


And Miss. Claudia... THRILLED to get a new sewing machine, a combined gift from my parents and Grandpa H. and Bev.

The 2 littlest cousins, Greta and Drew.


For whatever reason my dad thought it would be fun to make a pyramid.

Baby Drew Photo Shoot

Today I had the privilege of having a photo shoot with my only little nephew. He is so sweet, he slept through the whole thing.

Cousins

Today was had the joy of having my family here for our little Christmas get together. My brother and his family made the trek from Ohio with 3 kids 3 and under. Whew. We had such a fun day together. I have lots more pics but am too tired to do anything with them. For now here is a shot of all the kids. This little crowd gets bigger and bigger every Christmas!! Welcome to the family, baby Drew!!

Sweet Greta

Some little girlie had our undivided attention all afternoon thanks to g-ma and g-pa taking the older ones to the pool with my mom's friend. It was so fun to be with just her, she's growing up so fast!! She is so wiggly and will not sit still for nothin'. I was trying to hard to get some shots of her today... got a few.










I love this old stocking. My mom made them from an old blanket that I believe her g-pa made.


This cracks me up. I think it looks like a passport photo.










Daddy's shoes






Greta loves to fly!!
