Community Group Christmas Party!

Jake "showing" his friends his new video game... so kind of him, right?

Annual White Elephant:

Corrie: "Boxes don't lie, right?"

Oops... I think so! Another year of the "imitation meat" being passed around! Unfortunately the Maxwell's forgot to take this home with them and it ended up being left in front of my car... hmmm...

Joe decided to turn his beautiful flamingo ornaments into earrings... so creative!

I won!! I got the Chickfila calendar and Jake got the chickfila gift card! SWEET!!!

Fun time with friends! Fun traditions, fun new memories!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

We had an extra sleeping Saturday morning last week... super nice to snuggle in bed with Daddy... but there is no more room for MOMMY!!

After church last week... turned out super cute!

Bath time for our big baby girl!

She is big enough to join her sisters in the tub now!

My "helpers!" This was the day last week that at 4 p.m. I was still in my pajamas and unshowered... and all I had to show for my day was two batches of cookies and the fact that I hadn't yelled at anyone all day...

My "candy helpers"...

I love when they play make believe games like this all on their own! I was writing an email and I came out and found this in my living room! LOVE it!

We had our neighbors over on Saturday morning to decorate graham cracker houses with us! So fun!

Now I think if Jake had three sons instead of three daughters he would never find himself all tucked in like this as he falls asleep on the couch...

Aubrey was so nurturing towards her daddy!

My little teether!

Failed photo attempts... too funny!

And this... is my life!

All Things Isaac!

All the cousins had turkey hats at Thanksgiving... even Isaac!

Isaac entered our worlds' at 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning! He weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. and was 21 inches long (the longest baby on our side yet!) Here are some very proud grandfathers!

Isaac's welcoming committee!

His precious little toes!

Sweet little face!

Another proud uncle moment for Uncle Andy!

Memom and Poppop's first grandson!

A very happy aunt and uncle!

Isn't my sister so beautiful?? I love seeing how captured she is with him!

This picture literally takes my breath away... the look on both of their faces of utter contentment and love is overwhelming. I don't know if there are many moments in this life better than this one!

Some very proud big cousins! Sophie and Lucy are adorable together! They can both sit up now, but Sophie is mobile and Lucy is at her mercy in the pack and play!

All the cousins finally together!

He is so sweet!

Love this family!!

Gymnastics 2011

We feel so blessed that we've been able to put our girls in gymnastics this year. They couldn't be cuter running around in their little leotards!It's been so good for them! Learning to wait for their turn...
Coordination...
Concentration...

Handstands...

... and hand holding :)


Looking out for each other...
... and when the little sister got knocked out of the circle...

All better now!
Friends! Love these kids and their mamas too!
