A long, cold, snowy winter

Our 2nd winter back in Iowa since moving back from North Carolina definitely had "Iowa" written all over it!  Lots of cold and snowy days.  Caleb loved every time it snowed and liked helping Daddy with the driveway.

 Dillon loves sneaking in their room and stealing Caleb's "boo" (his pacifers).  I caught him in the act!

 Loving the spaghetti!

 Our cute 11 month old started crawling! Once he figured it out there is no stopping him! 



Christmas 2012

Christmas 2012 brought so much joy to our family this year! It was a year of firsts. Dillon's first Christmas, Caleb's first time he was really excited about what was going on, and the first Christmas Lindsay joined our family.  Ben and I focused on purely enjoying every little moment and soaking it all up.  Christmas is so much greater with little kiddos around! Happy Birthday Jesus!

 Christmas at Gaga and Pa's house

Looks like Santa came to our house! 

 Christmas morning at our house. So much joy!

 Daddy made some reindeer pancakes for breakfast and we sang "Happy Birthday, Jesus." 

 Christmas at Grandma and Papap's house was a little crazy this year.  Such a fun crazy with a house full of 7 kids under age 6!  Present opening was a bit of a trial but the family being together is so worth it!

 Isaac and Caleb continue to be great buddies!  Wish I would have gotten more pictures during the Parr's visit but we had a blast! Here is Isaac and Caleb playing playdoh and sharing a chocolate donut.
