Christmas 2018!

What a blur of 10 days this has been, but we have had so much fun celebrating Christmas and all the joy that comes along with it! We’ve had some great family get-togethers- our children are exhausted and our house is disastrous! Christmas is such a magical time when you have children to enjoy it with ❤️ 



Our three kiddos after church! They did such a great job at the program! We were afraid Carter’s shy personality would shine, but not at all! They had been practicing their lines and hand play all week and it showed! 



Our two sweet girlies! 



Our best attempt at a family photo! 



I’m such a blessed mama! Of course Harper insisted Miles be in the picture!

Santa did not disappoint! While he didn’t bring a “real life unicorn,” he left the perfect letter explaining why! This giant stuffed unicorn was for sure the next best thing! 





Carter has been playing with his “basketball guys” since he’s gotten them! He is constantly playing basketball! Santa scored big on that present! 

We forgot to take a picture of Harlow with her new baby, but she also loves her stuffed unicorn!



 Speaking of unicorns, they were a huge hit at our house this year! Everything seems to have a unicorn! 



Harlow especially loved presents! Not so much opening presents, but handing out presents and rearranging presents- it was pretty cute! 







We’ve had a great time with aunt Kelsey and uncle Kearney being back for the New Year’s! The kids have had a great time playing games, which they got plenty of for Christmas! They also had a fun time baking and decorating cookies! Harper is quite the decorator- watching her baking shows certainly showed! Her and Grandma Ingrid made an awesome cake for Kendyl’s birthday as well! She designed it all herself, just needed a little help with execution from Grandma! 







Crazy to think that another year has come and gone. It truly is amazing how fast they go by. We’ve had a wonderful 2018 filled with love and adventure! We can’t wait to see what 2019 has in store for us!

Christmas?!?!

Here we are, 5 days until Christmas! I can hardly believe how fast the time has been flying by. Well- we had a great Thanksgiving filled with lots of food and family! Just the way we like it! 

Our December has been a busy one!  Our elf Eddie made his way back from the North Pole. The kids had been patiently waiting his return and were so excited when he appeared! One of the first things they do each morning is try to find Eddie!  

The kids got to pay Santa a little visit a couple weeks ago! Harper was the only one who sat on Santa’s lap! I’m afraid Santa may have a bit of a challenge fulfilling her wish of a “real life rainbow unicorn”. 


Carter got somewhat close to Santa- only close enough that Santa could hear what he wanted “basketball guys!” Last night and tonight, Carter said he doesn’t want Santa to come to our house! 

Harlow was also not a fan of Santa, but we made her take a picture anyway. We assume she would like a baby doll from Santa! 

Harper had her school Christmas concert Monday and did a great job! She knew all the words and did great with the actions! 

This is the only picture I took of the night- mom fail! Darn it!  She was a super cute snowflake! While she’s done a great job with school, this Christmas break is definitely needed! She’s had a fun week of school with a crazy sock day, pajama day and an ugly sweater day! 

The kids have been having lots of fun with holiday decorations! They also got to make some ornaments at the library! 










Our Christmas celebrations started a couple weeks ago with a Gansebom get together and last weekend with a Craft get together. The kids are counting down the days until more celebrations!
