IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!

Just a few shots of our Christmas trees. We always have one "pretty" tree and then we have what we refer to as our "honky tonk tree". The honky tonk one is the most fun to decorate. Each year as we pull out ornaments that are as old as Wes and I, we take a trip down memory lane. My 1st Christmas ball, ornaments from when we graduated, our 1st Christmas, our 1st house, Mallory's homemade ornaments, etc. It is decorated like the trees that we grew up with. Colored lights, tinsel, blinking star. We added 3 new ornaments to it this year. How fun it was to hang 3 "Baby's First Christmas" balls.

Mallory - 5 Years Old

My how our little girl has grown. I snapped a few pics of her before we went for Christmas portraits. I remember so vividly our first Christmas with her. Its all still so fresh - She was sitting in her Papasan chair in a pink sleeper with christmas lights all over it. Wes and I had a ball opening all of her presents and showing them to her. She didn't have a clue b/c she was only 2 months at the time.

9 MONTHS AND WE ARE STILL ALIVE

The babies turned 9 months on Thanksgiving Day. This Thanksgiving was extra special and boy do we have lots to be thankful for. With all the "what if's" that were thought during my pregnancy and the first weeks after the birth, we are so blessed everyone home and healthy.

MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS

I think we bombarded Santa tonight. After taking our Christmas portraits, we decided to go see Santa at the mall. Now tell me how I can get 4 kids to look at the camera and SANTA looks away!!!!!!

Brody is sitting up!!!!!

I am proud to say......Brody is sitting up. He thinks he is something now. I can't wait till the girls start b/c he seems so much happier. He will sit on the floor and entertain himself now, which is wonderful. We are moving at a slower pace but they will all catch up sooner or later. I can't wait to see them all sitting in a circle playing with each other.

Halloween 2009

This was such an exciting Halloween for our family. We had 3 little monkeys and a beautiful mermaid this year. Brody, Marley & Macy only stayed in their costumes long enough to take these pictures. Mallory, on the other hand, had been wearing her Ariel costume for a month prior to the big day! Nana had her annual Halloween Bash and it was complete madness as usual. One year I am going to put a sign in book at the door to see how many people come. She loves it and I think everyone looks forward to it every year. We had a blast and I think the babies really enjoyed getting out for a change.

ONE WAY TO LOOK AT THINGS

You know, 3 babies can be VERY expensive......I saw these bibs and couldn't resist. For the first time in my life I can't wait to do my taxes!!!
