December 23

With both families living in town, the holidays can be pretty busy bouncing around celebrating with everyone.  We've decided to make December 23rd an evening specifically reserved for our little family's traditions.  

Driving around to see Christmas Lights is one of our December 23rd traditions.

Cookie decorating is a must.

Very interested in all the lights 

Wings Soccer

My big brother Chris played for the Wichita Wings this year and we had SO MUCH FUN watching him play!

We hope he plays again next year so we can have fun watching him again!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We had lots of fun decorating the Christmas tree...and we didn't break any ornaments this year!

Santa 2012

We braved the mall for our yearly photo op with the jolly old elf himself.  Here is this year's 'official' Santa picture...

And here are a few fun 'unofficial' pictures taken at our local YMCA...

Caleb was SO EXCITED to see Santa!  

Love this one!

Telling him what he wanted...popcorn, peanut butter, and a piano!

Noah was not so thrilled...

...not thrilled at all!

Going...

...going...

Gone!  This is my favorite picture!  The look of relief on Noah's face after arriving safe and sound in Daddy's arms is priceless!  

Noah's Birthday Party

Here are just a few pictures from Noah's birthday bash!  We had a great time celebrating with both of our families!

My favorite!  What a sweetie!

Ornery birthday boy!

This is called the 'puppy dog pose'.

Noah was a little overwhelmed with all of his gifts!
