Happy New Years Eve

Well 2014 did not end anything like how we could have ever imagined at the beginning! The journey of 2014 has been a crazy one with so much change for our family! We are excited to bring in the new year with so many exciting things going on in our family and cannot wait to see what all 2015 will bring! 2014 has brought so much fun, happiness, giggles, and smiles with these two crazies! We have loved so much watching them grow over this last year. I am so grateful to start out another year of adventures with these cuties and their handsome daddy! Happy New Year!!

Tepanyaki New Years!

We thought it would be fun to take the kids for the first time to the tepanyaki grill for New Year's Eve! They were so adorable, and it was so fun to see their reactions! Amelia was rocking the chopsticks, and Lincoln was enjoying the steak!

Treehouse Museum

We had a blast at the treehouse museum today! We took lots of great pictures (too many to post this late) but one of the kids' favorite parts was the baby hospital! They were both so sweet and tender with all the play babies. Amelia loved to talk to them and help them feel better. She kept bringing them to me to hold. Lincoln loved giving them a bottle, and was copying me with the doctor puppet, which was adorable! They are such sweet kids, and it made me so excited watching them today, to think about how they will be with their little baby brother or sister!

New Cars

Puppy

Please Daddy! Can't we get a puppy?!?!

Cheese!

Lincoln had no problem posing for me! Those little stinkers insist on bringing every toy into my room. Also those white heels... They haven't been worn in years, but they are Lincoln's favorite shoes to haul out of my closet!

Silly girl

One shoe off already, and she kept pulling silly faces at me, but I couldn't let her change out of her adorable church outfit without capturing it!

Santa

Amelia finally warmed up to Santa once she realized it was just Grampy dressed up... Lincoln on the other hand, didn't want anything to do with Santa!

Nativity

Amelia was so excited to participate in the nativity at the Henderson family party last night! Her and Berkley were both so eager to be Mary, so we had 2 Marys and they did so great! It is so crazy to see all the kids up there, I feel like yesterday we were the kids up there!

Ornament

Lincoln climbed up here today to try and put an ornament on Amelia's purple tree. I think next year he is going to need one of his own! He was very determined to put it on, and loves admiring all the pretty ornaments!

Birthday Family Picture

Forgot to have Grandma send me a few pictures before now, but I love this family picture from Amelia's birthday!

Pool Time

Thanks for letting us come swim at the hotel, Aunt Boo! The kids had a blast!

New earrings

Milly wanted her earrings switched out to her new ones today! It was more traumatic than she had anticipated, but she is so happy now!
