Some more Highlands pics today! Headed to the mountaintop…

and I carried that heavy baby 90% of the way! Phew!

But it was all worth it once we got to the top….



Beautiful! Also…cousins!

Merry after Christmas! We had a wonderful one – there is maybe nothing better than the magic of Christmas with a 6, 4 and almost 2 year old! I’ll recap it all but soon. Today sharing some pictures back from our Thanksgiving trip to Highlands. My favorite pic from this day ended up on our card but I love all of these too…









Then I get this one…what in the world is Maxwell doing?! ha!

Alright….we’re running out of here….


See you tomorrow!


Well, Christmas can arrive because we’ve been to see the big man and passed on our Christmas gift wishes! My crew was looking holly and jolly…


When we got to The Club, I was taking off everyone’s coats and turned my back for 2 seconds and, next thing I knew, Samantha was up by Santa’s knee getting in the way of someone else’s picture! ha! She was ready to tell him what she wanted I guess! We got her back in line and patiently waited our turn.

When our time came, Maxwell and Spencer got right on up in his lap. He tried to get Samantha up there too but she wasn’t having that! at all! We did convince her to stand in front of him and, poor thing, she looks scared stiff! ha! She definitely lost her jolly!

Oh, that makes me laugh! After we took pictures, Spencer told Santa he wanted a remote controlled shark and Maxwell said he wanted Star Wars Legos and a non-Lego Millenium Falcon. He also tried to tell Santa that Samantha wanted a baby doll! 🙂


Everyone got candy canes and we were on our way! Check check and Ho Ho Ho!


Alright Christmas…we’re ready!!
Like they have done each year, the kids had a birthday party for baby Jesus with Mrs. Susan! There were giant presents…

reading of the Christmas story, cupcakes with a candle…

and LOTS of fun! Susan is always so generous and the kids loved tearing into the gifts….

The boys got some awesome new Star Wars pjs and Samantha got some cute Minnie ones. This chuckle ball provided lots of chuckles from all of them!


The GIANT boxes lived up to their size when Maxwell got a Lego Kylo Ren and Spencer got a remote controlled Hulk!

He has since declared it his “most favorite present ever!” (even if it did make baby scared! ha!)

It is always a Merry Christmas when Mrs. Susan is around!

THANK YOU Susan for ALL that you do!!

You’re the BEST and we all LOVE you so much!
