Family Christmas

Great Grandma made the trip up this year.

My brother Adam, he says the Mohawk is a chick magnet.

Grandma and Jack

This was a big hit with Jack, thanks Grandma and Grandpa.

Your next American Idol...

Ummm, Dad, this is our toy.

Santa brought this for Matt and Jack.

More Thomas!!

Christmas morning

Lily our princess

Jack and Grandpa jammin out.

Spent the morning at the Madison Children's museum.

Dave and Matt playing an intense game of Khet.

Kay and Elle in their new dresses from Grandma and Grandpa.

Oh cool, an ambulance!-- he actually slept with it both nights we were there.

Christmas in Madison with the Romanins. Here's Lily and Elle waiting patiently to open gifts.

Some of the physicians at SBC had a small party for the kids. Lily actually got close to Santa. Although, his voice sounded familiar to me.

Here's a picture we will hold onto when he's a teenager. Yes, that is Lily walking Jack in high heels.

Our China group had a Christmas breakfast with Santa. Jack and Lily were too scared to meet him, but he gave them presents anyway. Thanks Santa.

Jack loves his stomp rockets, he already has one in the chandelier.

Lily and Holyn received skirts that play the Nutcracker when they dance. Too cute.

Playgroup Christmas party

Gracie and Lily, best friends.

Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Some of the girls in our China Playgroup. Lilah (wearing brown shirt) is new to the group. Her family is so happy to have her home.

Slide races

Sharing one of Dad's chocolate shakes

The Seehase family

Ryan and Rachel joined in on the fun.

Jack, Lily and Calli enjoying the pile of leaves.

Calli did great for someone who just met us. I guess she figured if Jack and Lily look ok, that she's in good hands.

My friend Sarah and her husband Tyson came to visit this weekend to go to the ND game. This is Calli, what a beautiful little girl.

Couldn't resist this one either. They both did a great job, esp. Lily, she hasn't been feeling good and she stuck through it.

This was the winner.

Meanwhile, all Jack needs is some soft music and a glass of wine to finish this pose.

Hard to believe Christmas is almost here. The kids got their X-mas pictures taken. Lily loves to show off in front of the camera. Work it girl!!

Had to get Dad in for a quick picture.

Lily told me she wants everyday to be Halloween.

Get your own candy Mom!!

Let's see.....I'll trade you a kit kat for a tootsie roll.....

I think they ejoyed handing out the candy as much as getting it.

We didn't carve pumpkins this year, instead we did Mr. Potato head pumpkins. They were a big hit.

It only took one house for them to figure out what trick or treating is. They ran from house to house keeping up with the big kids. They had a ball.

Jack even made a "corn angel." Who needs snow??

A sandbox full of corn!!

Mom and Lily

An afternoon at Amazing Acres.

Getting an early start to trick or treating.

Enjoying the cool fall day.
