More catching up!!!! Scroll down for more!

I also mentioned below that we went to see Santa, and to reiterate, Julien was beyond thrilled and Jonah was running the other direction in fear! We did manage to get one shot with Jonah though. Sorry for the poor quality of pictures here. Instead of paying $15 for one 5x7 pic, I just snapped a few with my digital, but the lighting in there ruined it...probably why they allow you to take your own.
Yay! We got it!


I love this last one of Julien! This Santa was great and Julien was just precious!

Earlier that day we decorated our tree and house. It was such a great day It is so much fun to develop these special traditions with our little family.
Julien ran in our room the next morning with a knot in his throat saying, "Mommy, there's no presents!:(" Oh Christmas can never come fast enough for kids. The kids and I made one of those paper chains with red and green paper (like you do in elementary school) so they could have a visual on the countdown till Christmas. Each night we took one off. I wish I had a picture of that cause they were way excited as it got shorter and shorter.

This is late November after the first decent snowfall. Since then we have seen a lot more snow! As you can see the poor kids had wet clothes from the snow and freezing hands, but that didn't stop them! Since then, they have gotten the proper snow attire (thank you to my dad from Christmas)! So here is a little snowman that the kids and I made one day!

I just think they look so cute and proud in this picture!
