Snowy Slush Day

Madelyn and Mom Day!

This may have to become a Christmas break tradition.

We had breakfast with Papa, shopped, got our nails done, painted pottery, and lunched at Maddy's favorite... the 99. After lunch, and before picking up Reed we popped into Staples. Madelyn walked around the store and just kept repeating... "I love this store. Mom, this store is ammmazing." Ha!

Christmas

Christmas 2016 was magical. I'm pretty sure this was the best one yet.

Santa came to Salem, and to Nana and Papa's! The kids moved so quickly I barely got any pictures. But here are some!

Truly blessed.

Santa

On the night before Christmas...
A story was read

And then all the children were snuggled in bed..

And what did my wondering eyes see?

Santa!

The Year of Outtakes

Photographing kids in a group is more difficult than herding cats!
