Christmas Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!

The kids were so excited on Christmas Morning, they couldn't wait to see if Santa had came. When Mary came downstairs and saw her pink giraffe all she said was "I knew it, I knew Santa would bring it" she was so happy her face just lit up. I love Christmas Morning it is my favorite part of the holidays. To watch your kids be filled with such joy and happiness, nothing else seems to matter....
My mom and Dad came over and I think Will was just as excited to see them as he was about his presents. He is still a little young to understand, but he was loving every minute of the excitement.

Santa.......

Santa came and payed us a visit on Christmas eve. It was Will's first time to see Santa he wasn't so sure at first and then he really decided he was not interested. Mary on the other hand loved him. Mary asked for a "Lu Lu" Furreal kitten and a pink giraffe, she loves animals.

Christmas Eve.....

Mary wanted to be a princess on Christmas eve, which is very rare for her. So I had to take a lot of pictures. She looked so cute,and was twirling all around the house. She was so excited for Santa to come.

Will helping .....

Will wanted to help decorate the Christmas tree. He got a little distracted with the "coke" decorations and was trying to get a drink. He was getting a little mad when nothing was coming out. He is so cute!!!!

Matt's Deer!

Matt went hunting is Montana with his buddy Mike and got a nice deer. I was glad to have some more meat in the freezer, we love deer meat. Baby Will thought the deer was pretty neat too.

Halloween.....

Mary and Will were both "fire Dogs" for Halloween. They looked so cute!

catching up

Mary loves the snow and was so excited to wake up and see it all. It was quite a storm for October. She even managed to sneak a snowball in the house to throw at me. What a kid.

Will's Birthday!!

My baby turned 2 yesterday. I can't believe Will is 2 years old. It is amazing how fast he has grown up. He loved opening his presents. Grandma Pat got him this darling bouncy horse which he loves and Mary loved so much we had to get another one.
He is such a sweet boy. He loves climbing up and down the stairs, playing animals with Mary, reading books (he will bring me books to read all the time), and he loves being outside and visiting the neighbors chickens.
He kept saying "baby baby" and doing the sign for come. Sure enough later that day my sister Jenny had her baby. A beautiful baby girl. I think they are going to be Buddy's and get to share a birthday.

Granpma Pat & Pa Pa Steve!!

Grandma Pat and Pa Pa Steve came down for a visit. We always love when Matts family can come. They took Mary to play at the park and for ice cream. We all went to Corn Belly's at Thanksgiving Point, a fun corn maze with games and slides. Then the next morning Mary woke up sick!! I felt so bad. So we spent the rest of the time home with Mary. I hope no one else gets the bug. We still had a great visit and made some great memory's.

Mary's 1st Field Trip

Mary went on her 1st field trip to the pumpkin patch. The kids all loved the corn maze and seeing all the pumpkins. I still cannot believe how fast she is growing up. She loves pre-school and is doing so well.
