December 2011

Guess I’m becoming one of those “once a month” bloggers. December was packed with family, travel, and my favorite, Christmas cookies. Here are some highlights!

Baby Party

IMG_7779

These are my friends’ babies who were all born around the same time as Lincoln. Everyone is just turning one so we had a little party. I loved having all these baby boys (and one girl) in the same house. The cuteness was almost too much to handle!

This group of moms has become an accidental mommy support group (mostly over Facebook). I’m thankful for the friendship we share. And that we have the cutest babies ever.

These guys LOVED trick-or-treating this year! We’ve got the army guy, the sheriff, and the UPS man.

These are the expressions we get when Uncle Kyle stands behind the camera and tells them to make a mean face!

Snow Day

We took a little weekend away and headed up north to spend time with family at the cabin. We did not expect to see this!

I love the contrast of the white snow and the red fall leaves.

So we stayed inside by the fire, to build little cabins and train tracks, and watch movies…

But the next day, it was warm enough for fishing, rhino rides on the forest roads, and playing outside. Best of both worlds in one little weekend.

These guys always take a little nap when they ride on the rhino. Not sure if it’s the bumpy road or the fresh air?

It feels like maybe it just might be almost getting a tiny bit cooler in the evenings. Think we’ve almost got this summer licked!

And this little guy is just taking it all in…
