Christmas Time 2013

Here are a few photos from December and our Christmas. It was a fun time with two little boys! This year Caleb really understood what was going on and got into everything. It was fun to share his excitement!

 Decorating the tree!

 Finished.

 Holiday baking.

 Having fun with the sprinkles.

Caleb's new trick. Making all sorts of faces when I pull out the camera.

 Putting out reindeer food. :) (Oatmeal and glitter) Daddy went out later and stomped all around. 

 His most desired gift; James the Steam Engine.

 Gunther and Daddy getting gifts from under the tree.

 Gunther's big present. He was a fan!

More faces.

 My crazy siblings

 Gunther and Skiddles

 Just had to snap a photo. So pretty!

This is the best out of 20. :) All the boys got pillows and pillow cases. Caleb's was Thomas the train.

Lots of fun was had by all!

Christmas Letter 2013

Here are a few highlights from our year:

Trip to Pella for the Annual Tulip festival

Boy Fun!

The boys love going on tractor rides with Daddy!

Five years in August. This picture was taken on our anniversary.

Horse back riding at my parent's. Caleb was a natural!

First day of preschool! He goes 2 mornings a week and loves it!

Matt and I completed our first half marathon together in September. Matt's an old pro and has run several half and 4 (!) full marathons, but this was the longest I had ever run!

Gunther turned 1 in October. He liked the cupcakes. :)

Caleb turned 3 in September. This is him riding on his birthday 4 wheeler wearing his Bob the Builder Halloween costume. 

The boys are getting to the age where they are starting to really enjoy playing together. So fun!

We love going on family nature walks!

An apple orchard we visited this fall.

For Thanksgiving we went to Colorado to visit family and went to several local attractions. This photo was at the Air Force Academy.

A great year!  

Christmas 2012

Christmas was a blast! C got into the presents and excitement so much more this year. We celebrated with the Hubby's family on the 24th and Matt got off that morning. When he got home C said, "Merry Christmas!! Presents?" He was so excited we decided to let him open them a day early. Matt and I both agreed that Christmas is WAY more fun when you have kids! :)

 New Thomas Ornament! 

 New markers! C loves to color.

C's big present-- a bike! He was so excited! Love that smile!

Hina, a friend visiting from Japan.

New Tigger!

Ears and a tail for C too!

Thankful for our many blessings!
