FEW MORE PICS

a few more from christmas day.

CHRISTMAS BRUNCH AT TILMA'S

we spent christmas brunch and afternoon at papa and oma tilma's. we ate a great brunch and then opened gifts. the twins actually took a nap through the presents, so they opened their gifts after they woke up. it was a wonderful day. and i am thanking god for the best gift of all, his son sent as our savior. merry christmas!

CHRISTMAS DAY AT HOME

we spent christmas morning (early morning, let's say 6:30am) at our house. santa brought only 3 presents for each child today, just like the three wise men brought for baby jesus. it was a great tradition that we started this year.

CHRISTMAS EVE AT ESSING'S

spent christmas eve at the essing's. it was wonderful to see the whole family. papa and oma, tracy and brian, erica and bradan. justin had a blast and the boys did well.

MISC PICS

just a few pics from this weekend. the boys, the boys holding elsha, elsha in her bumbo seat, me and mandi who is home for the holidays from new york. just a weekend in the life...

ELSHA WITH SANTA

ok, because i am not able to get my twins to get within 10 feet of santa, i have to live vicariously through my niece, elsha.

HAVING FUN

just a day in the life of the twins. busy, busy, busy. again, jordan with his hat on. they love to jump on the furniture too. must be a boy thing.

HATS AND PJs

the boys in their hats and jammies this morning. jordan has not taken his off all day and brendan will not keep his on for more than 30 seconds. go figure.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

happy thanksgiving to all! spent the afternoon at mom's house and all was well and good!

INDIAN JUSTIN

justin came home from school today with this cute costume on, face painted and all. happy thanksgiving all!

BIG BROTHER JUSTIN

i love this video clip i got the other night. justin likes to "take care" of the boys. here he has jordan all tucked in a little "bed" and he just keeps adding things to the pile. it is so cute. i love the look on jordan's face, he just lays there and puts up with it. so sweet.

CONGRATS DAD!

congrats to my dad who has been working at the same company for 25 years! last night they threw him a little party and the whole family was there to celebrate. i am very proud of my dad for having worked at the same place for the past 25 years, every day heading to work with a good attitude. there are not many family owned business' like this left; a thriving company with good christian owners. congrats dad, i love you!

HALLOWEEN FUN

here are a few pics from trick or treating last night. i'm having a hard time getting used to my new little "take-along" camera. i'm not happy how these turned out, but what is one to do. i should have just gotten the big camera out and used it. i learn something every day.

MORE ELSHA

just a few more pics of elsha for all our far away friends and family. that means you aunt marzo and uncle ron! i'm so glad you both check this and keep up with us!
