Trying to get a Christmas picture

Isn't this the best? Matt is going to kill me. He's already deleted this picture off of here once.

It's scary trying to imagine taking a picture of more than one child.
A little too much "cheese" on this one.

Bell shaking wasn't the best idea.

Almost ready for a Harley?

Christmas Tree Lighting

We enjoyed another cold year at the Christmas tree lighting here in town. I am all about family traditions and I'm looking forward to many more years of this. I love running into kids and families I know, drinking hot chocolate and bundling up. Every year we go with the Kaplan's, Donna and Don. Luke especially loves to go with Sophia and Nate.

Grammy and Sophia

Many shoulder rides......

Sweet Grandma Donna-the kids love Donna more than they love candy.

The boys were laughing their heads off as the flash was blinding them.

This boy can boogie

Halloween

Gynxy liked Luke's Costume more than he did.

Luke's first jack-0-lantern.

Luke's buddies.

Luke was scared to death of Kurt, but doesn't he look exactly like Garth from Wayne's World?

Garth, Mrs. Claus, Snow White, and Little Bo Peep

This was how our evening began.

The Kaplan's had us over before the big outing.

Pumpkin Carving Contest, Luke tied for first.

Luke hated being a fat giraffe.

All the kiddos.

Cutest backside!

By the end of night he totally got into it.

I loved how he held his candy bag like a purse.

This is awesome, he loved getting candy even though he had no idea what it was.

The Whole Gang

The leaves are falling down

Back in October Matt had to work all weekend, so Luke and I headed down to Roseburg to get out of the house.

Playing with sticks

He is all boy most of the time, but he was afraid to step on acorns. Weird!

I wish to be potty trained!

Playing in the park

So spoiled.
