Hannah turned 6 on Thanksgiving day!

Hannah, Hannah, Hannah.  She is so sweet, kind, smart, loving, creative, happy, determined, sassy, fashionable, funny, organized, helpful and much much more.  She really is a gem.  So happy she came into our family.  It would not be the same without her!  Love you sweet girl!

 We had a Night Owl party!  All the girls came over at 5:30pm in their PJs!  We made pizza, played night games with glow in the dark necklaces and watched Pixar short films in a fort with Christmas lights....made by me!  (It was the most awesomest fort ever!!!) 

 I made all different felt Owls for each girl to take home.  So it would be fair, I wrote a different number on 8 glow in the dark stars.  They each had to find one star.  That number was the number of the wrapped owl they got to open.  Each took a turn opening their owl.  Then they adopted their owl, giving it a name and a birthday.  Each owl also had a poem to go along with it. They had so much fun!  I still see the girls carrying around there owls.  It makes me so happy!!

 AWESOME FORT!!! Pictures does not do my work justice!

 Hannah lost her first tooth on her birthday!  She could not have been happier!

 This was our first time in 10 years of being married that we hosted Thanksgiving!  We had Jacob and Robin over for dinner.  So happy to have family so close!  Love you guys!!!

It was very merry!

I am going to feel so much better once I get these pictures up!  This is what we have been up to this month.  It has been a busy one, but very special.  We created lots of great memories! We missed our wonderful families during this holiday season, but are so thankful to have great friends to share it with.  

Love you all!

Last week.

I am so behind on editing and posting that I have no idea where to begin!  We have had birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, parties, visitors, Disney, sea world...you name it and I bet you I have not posted it! So I thought that I should just start anywhere! 

So here it goes...Last week was the last week that I took pictures for the rest of the year.  I was so excited to be able to snap some fun pictures of my kiddos!  This what we were up to!  

Caleb got a dictionary from school and has set a goal to read the whole thing!! He has been leaning lots of interesting words! Love his determination!!

 Porter LOVES trains!  He is always begging someone to go down stairs with him, so that he can play. 

 For some reason Yoda keeps popping up in our nativity....

Porter loves to take down and set up the nativity.  He is learning so fast. 

 It snowed the first big snow of the year.  The kids were so excited....too bad we only get freeze dried snow here! We also took care of a little friend of ours.  They pretended to be sisters the whole 3 days!  Love these girls!!

We went to Wendys for lunch and got a puzzle, so of course they wanted to put it together the minuet we got home! Porter wanted his own.

 Could not deiced if I liked the color or black and white more, so I posted both, why not. 

Caleb does not like to get his picture taken, so when he lets me I try to snap a ton!! He is getting so big and so handsome!  I feel so lucky to have him in our little family.
