Our first basketball season

Carter played basketball for the first time this winter.  He had the perfect team in his mind, his Dad and Papa were the coaches and one of his best friends played on his team.  A 6 year old couldn't ask for more.

Brady was in Japan the week we had pictures...in case you were wondering.  I was substitute coach while Papa was hunting and when Brady was out of town, I had a lot of fun filling in.

Santa pictures

We took the kids to see Santa at Beaver Bark at the beginning of December.  They had a great time looking at the reindeer, all the decorations and picking out ornaments.  It was a great year for Santa pictures because they were all perfect ages...no one was scared of Santa.  Probably won't be able to say that next year.

The next week Mom, Natalie and I took Gee Gee for a trip to Beaver Bark because she loves to see the Christmas decorations.  She is so cute as soon as Gee Gee saw Santa was there she wanted to go right over and say hi.  They offered to take a four generation picture and I'm so glad we did it.  She loved carrying Natalie around and got lots of attention.  I'm so glad we had this special day with her.  Miss you Grandma.

 

  

Small group party

We had a great time at our small group party, just relaxing and playing games.  There are five new babies in our group this year.  One of the first things we did of course was take pictures of all the girls.  It's so cute to see them all together.
