Pictures with Santa

Well, last week we decided to take the kids after work one night to get pictures with Santa at the mall. Last year, it went very well and we got a nice picture. THIS year, on the other hand, was not so good. Landon started crying so hard when he got close to Santa and then Peyton decided he didn't want to sit on Santa's lap either. We tried even having Corey and I in the picture too, so the boys could sit on our laps instead, but the boys wouldn't let it happen. So, we got a nice picture of Jayden and Santa together. She told Santa what she wanted for Christmas, which was a Barbie house and Barbie car. At the end, Peyton ended up giving Santa a high-five and hugging him - which we quickly snapped a picture of! :) Hopefully, next year goes a little better.

On another note - the boys' ear surgery went very well and they are recovering great! Hopefully, this means less doctor visits and antibiotics this winter!! :)

November - gone already?

I know it's been a long time since I have posted any pictures, but I feel like November went by SO fast - I can't believe it's only 21 days until Christmas! Anyhow, I thought I would post some pictures from throughout the month of November - starting with a picture of me and the kids on my 29th birthday (with a BEAUTIFUL cake made by Jayden and Daddy), pictures from Natalie's 1st sleepover at our house, Thanksgiving, Jayden's Christmas program at school and baking cookies with the girls. It was a busy month and December is going to be even busier! The boys have been sick with ear infections, sinus infections, etc. for most of the last month, so one BIG event happening in December (next week) is they are both getting tubes put into their ears (for the 2nd time) and their adenoids taken out. Our niece, Natalie, also had this done when she was younger and she did really well, so we are praying that the boys' surgeries go smoothly too! Well, enjoy all the pictures! :)
