Thanks to a snow day at home with Mason, the gallery is now updated with all new pic’s! Here is a recap of the last few months:
Silly Billy and Lauren on Thanksgiving:
Lauren and Kacie:
lovin on papa:
picking out a tree is so hard:
but all is better when there is face painting afterward:
and with hayrides:
and with jumping off of hay bales:
and Mason stayed warm and slept most of the time:
decorating the tree:
Mason watching:
hanging out in the bumbo while we made a gingerbread house:
I guess the bumbo didn’t last long:
the finished product, Santa’s workshop:
would you expect any different from Billy’s kids?
hanging out at Union Station with Damon:
since the train was closed, Damon decided to be the conductor:
it’s awesome when somehow the 2 guys end up carrying the purses and diaper bags in public:
making oreo balls with daddy:
big smiles:
making cookies for Santa:
I apparently did something wrong:
first time in the exersaucer:
Mason’s favorite thing on the exersaucer:
our good looking puppy:
we can’t keep Mason off of his tummy…complete opposite of his sister:
Lauren, Winnie, and I on our way to the KC Ballet’s The Nutcracker:
making more Christmas candy, complete in tutu:
finally, at 3.5 months, Mason loves his bath:
daily mauling, I mean hugging, of her brother (check out the awesome quilt grammy made Mason for Christmas!):
blackmail pic’s for the future:
getting another gymnastics medal (she just moved up to a new class and her coach told me she’s advanced in gymnastics for her age…go Lauren!):
more face painting at her school holiday party (doesn’t look as happy as last time?):
best friend Kayla:
other best friend Shobika (check out that height difference):
sitting on Santa’s lap (Mason could care less and was fine and Lauren did way better than last year, she actually sat on his lap several time this year and rattled off everything she wanted…computer, fur real kitty, bath tub baby, tinkerbell telephone, etc etc):
an armful of tutu’s for dress-up, thanks nanny! They were a bit hit at our NYE party!
Mason hanging out during gift opening:
Lauren and Damon hanging out in papa’s chair…likely watching “Christmas Mickey”:
I don’t think Damon wanted to smile for me:)
silly faces with Uncle Shane (there are a million of these):
my family, all in red, weird:
the new Princess laptop all her own, thanks Santa (now mommy/daddy don’t have to give up their laptops all the time!):
I took Lauren to ToysrUs to buy Mason a Christmas gift, and all she wanted to get him was this bib…she was far too concerned about looking at toys for herself:
hanging out with some of her loot:
hanging with uncle Brian:
sleeping with papa:
cheesin with uncle Luke:
Lauren and Winnie in matching wedding dresses:
playing with her RC car in Tinkerbell panties and new slippers…not sure why or what happened to her dress?
picture with great grandma:
Tiffany and Brian furthering the stack of blackmail pictures…Mason in Winnie’s veil:
Lauren and Mason hanging in her new pink castle tent…we caught her dragging Mason in by his feet…in her defense, at least she remembered she’s not supposed to pick him up…we’d never told her she couldn’t drag him:
Winnie at our friends Christmas party (yes, Winnie goes EVERYWHERE with us):
And a few from our NYE party (14 adults and 11 kids!)…
she has a playroom, but for some reason, the closet of the playroom is everyone’s favorite place to play (and destroy)!
Lauren and “uncle” Nate:
best friends (Kayla)…playing dress-up:
and having a pretend slumber party…I’m sure the real thing is in the near future!
and the tutu’s get used by the adults as well:
Billy and Megan getting ready for the “miracle fruit” party…don’t ask:
and finally, a picture that is totally typical of my kids…Lauren cheesin for the camera while right next to Mason and Mason putting something in his mouth:
whew.
