Happy New Year!

We celebrated New Year's with our friends Jared and Laura Smith and their new little baby Alexis. The boys were happy to see New Year snow and fun was had by all. These pictures are in no particular order.

Benjamin wants to roll the biggest snowball ever!

Matthew at 2 months

Matthew is getting bigger every day! He was 13 1/2 lbs at his 2 month check up and is smiling and making a lot of cooing noises now. We are all enjoying him!

What a cute smile!

Ooh! Look at the pretty lights on my swing:)

I might smile for the camera...

Big stretch!

Santa Baby!

Real Snow!

We finally got a good snow for the kids to enjoy. You can see that they love the snow and just can't seem to get enough! There were snow angels, snow ball fights and lots of snow day fun!

O Christmas Tree!

On Saturday, December 1st, we set out to find a Christmas tree. We ended up just driving and found this cute little place. It was a very windy day!

Benjamin checks out the trees.

Evan and Jacob check out the tree that we are getting.

Ben getting the tree ready to take home.

Evan loves the twinkling lights.

Jacob, Benjamin, and Evan decorating the tree. Jacob mostly un-decorated the tree and it has been rearranged several times since then:) Hurray for shatterproof ornaments!

Evan puts a blue ornament on the tree. It's his current favorite color.

Benjamin thinks about where to put his ornaments.

Evan stands back and admires their work.

O Christmas Tree!

Now Ben puts the star on top!
