December

A random picture sampling from December 

This girl is so sweet. She loves kissing Grandma's decorations, especially the giraffe.

She is very interested in books. When it gets very quiet I find her in random rooms of the house, sitting just like this, thumbing quietly through a book.

Sledding!

Putting up the tree.

One Month Old

I love baby toes.

Look who is smiling! He looks so much like his big brother, especially when he smiles.

Snow Day

We somehow managed to get both the babies to sleep so we could go play in the snow! Nothing like a Mommy-Son Snow Date!

Snowball fight!

And his most favorite thing to do, fall back into the snow! He must have done it a dozen times.

Oh how I love this boy! He is so much like his Daddy, he could LIVE outside if we let him.

Christmas

Christmas was so much fun this year, mainly because Easton understood so much more and was so excited.

On Christmas Eve we watched "It's a Wonderful Life" while we got our house ready for Christmas, including leaving a snack for Santa and his reindeer. We read the Christmas story and brought out our presents for each other. We gave Easton strict instructions on not going into the family room but coming to our room first when he woke up in the morning. He was really good, and though he could barely stand it he waited for all of us to get up before trekking in. He was thrilled at the note Santa left thanking Easton and Kinley for the snacks. He especially got a kick out of the nibbled carrots the reindeer left behind.

Flashlight, best stocking stuffer ever for this "army guy"!

Very tired Mommy & Daddy

Kin loved her new kitchen!

Easton was THRILLED with his new bow & arrow, Mommy on the other hand is not so sure!

Cookie decorating at Grandma & Grandpa's.

Easton's awesome motorcycle gear he got from Uncle Josh. His cute Aunts helped him put it on.

Christmas Village

Although I didn't get too many pictures we had a blast visiting Christmas Village in Ogden. Easton really wanted to climb in every single house. Kinley oooo'd and awwwww'd at all of the lights and really enjoyed her view from on top of Nathaniel's shoulders. Asher was a champ and took a nice cozy nap bundled up and snuggled down in his covered carseat. 

This pic was taken before we added the layers, I just love his little snow hat!

November

November was an espcially busy month for us since it brought the birth of our sweet baby boy, Asher Joseph. I will post more on that later with some beautiful pictures my sister was sweet enough to take. 

Here are some other pictures from November in no particular order ;)

This picture is from the morning Asher was born as we headed out the door to the hospital.

This is poor Kin not feeling so good. We had some very sick kiddos this month. In fact the day we brought Asher home Easton had croup, Kinley had croup and a double ear infection, and Nathaniel had the flu! 

Those basement stairs were not kind to my recovering body so Nathaniel had to get creative when carrying laundry and Kinley back upstairs solo.

We have a binky stealer!
