Rosie December and 4 months!

Rosie continues to be LOVED around here. The boys are always in her face loving on her! She is getting so big. I took her in for her 4 month check up the end of the month and... She weighs 14lb 4oz. Just about the 50%. They said she was 85% for height, but I just think they either stretched her more this time, or didn't stretch her enough last time. I really think she is a little short... because she looks so chunky!! She started playing with toys this month. She still hasn't let out a full belly laugh... but she is happy and goos, and gaas all the time. She really is so special. I can't imagine this family now without her!

Christmas Day

After a 24+ days of counting down... Santa CAME. The kids must have been good this year, because Santa didn't disappoint! Our basement was full of presents Christmas morning. My parents had a sleepover, and so we were lucky and got to share our Christmas morning with them! Man, this is so fun! I love my family!!













After a super fun morning at home, we continued the fun with Christmas at Grandpa Hansens... and Fun it was.  He loves Christmas and is such a good gift giver.  We all got spoiled once again.  (I got a new camera :), so now I'll be able to get better pictures while we are on the go!)






Rosie 4 months, Liv 2 weeks :)  My baby is getting BIG!!

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve 12-24

This year Christmas Eve was with my family.  We got together early so we could do our gift exchanges.  We were completely spoiled by mom and dad again this year.  We got tickets to the Broadway "Shrek".  Chad and I are on our cruise the whole time it is playing, so we have to reschedule our show :(...  But I'm sure whatever we end up seeing will be great!  I also got my first MINKY, and I have been loving it!  The kids got a double shot for the basement, and can't wait to get shooting!!  What a perfect way to start the night.





Christmas Eve has always been my very favorite holiday.  It is so much fun seeing the excitement in the kids.  We left my Moms pretty early so we could get Santa's cookies and milk out, open our jammies, and set up our stockings!  MAGIC...

Get air 12-24

Before we all got sick we planned on going to Get Air for Grandma's birthday. Since we were under the weather, we rescheduled... Christmas Eve was our last chance to go before Amy and the Kids left. The only bummer was that Cory, Maria, and Audrey had already left to Idaho Falls. It was so fun to get together before all the "FUN" started Christmas Eve.

Ice Skating 12-21

We have been so sick around here. It started with Porter, and has managed to pass from one kid to the next. The only ones who haven't gotten this bug- Chad and Roc. They both got flu shots, so I was pretty sure that is what we had... but because Rosie is so little, I decided I better take her in just to be sure she was okay. Sure enough... THE FLU. Yuck. Anyway, we are finally better, so to celebrate we went ice skating with the Willards, and the Garners. It was really cold. Probably not as fun as I was hopping, but the kids pretended to have a great time! :0

Kids Christmas Concert 12-13

The kids have been so excited about their Christmas concert.  Porter started feeling yucky, but wanted to go anyway.  So... I let him.  They did great.  I have loved hearing them singing their Christmas songs everyday when they get home from school.  This is the best time of the year!!

Christmas Caroling 12/10

For Family night tonight we went CAROLING... Without our dad (He is in Portland for work), we struggled.  Luckily we only caroled to people who love us anyway :).  Grandma and Grandpa great were especially glad we stopped in!  We stayed for awhile to visit, and do puzzles.  The kids were great, and loved spending time with my GRANDPARENTS!!

Sleepover 12/7

We have been enjoying lots of family time this holiday season. Does it get any better than that? NOPE! After a movie night with the Garners we had a "Sleep out" (The kids slept out by the tree, and Chad and I snuck into our bed after the kids fell asleep). I'm loving every second of this season. I wish it would never end!

Today was a special day. Chad gave Rosie a beautiful blessing. We had tons of support from family and friends. Rosie looked so pretty, and was so happy. Life is grand.
