And it's over...

To start off, if you received my Christmas letter you know what the picture above represents. Just wanted to give you visual proof that I am not exaggerating. (Let me clarify this- no one seems to understand. Connor will not do anything a Buckeye would not do. He does all things he thinks Buckeyes do. This is an example. Buckeyes wear short sleeve jerseys and pants that come to their knees. So this is how Connor wears all of his clothes. Pajamas and jackets included.)

Secondly, this is what we think of Santa at our house. There is no picture of Caleb because he flat out refused to sit with St. Nick.

And then we come to Christmas morning.
Notice how he's wearing his PJ's.


Everyone had a great time opening presents. But their favorite gift wasn't wrapped under the tree.

This isn't their favorite gift. But our first shutter. Ben installed it in the upstairs bathroom. With guests this week, we figured they'd like to shower in private from the outside world. Right now the shutter is stained, but I am adamant about it being painted white to match the trim that will also eventually be painted white.

And on to the gift...

Yes folks, it's a trampoline. They've already had four uncles over to play with them on it. I'm just praying for no broken bones...

Random Sampler

So I noticed its been about 3 weeks since I posted something. I always get so annoyed when I see it's been so long since someone else has updated their blog...so I figured I'd come up with something. We've been busy with lots of different things and I just felt I hadn't taken any good pictures of anything so I'd wait until I had some good pictures. But alas, the 'three weeks since last post' tag is too bothersome to ignore. Here are some random pictures of the kids.

Caleb and cousin Peyton.

The Three Amigos.


An attempt at a good family picture.

Another failed attempt.

The boys at George's for Thanksgiving.



Notice the ornaments clumped right at kid-height.
