Amelia's newest hair cut

Amelia and I had a mini-girls date on Saturday afternoon and we both got our hair cut. Hers is super cute! Mine is too, but I didn't take picture of it styled! Thank you Katie for making us beautiful! :)

Children's Mass

Saturday night was the Children's Mass at Church. Amelia was a cow, Paul was a donkey and Stella was Baby Jesus. All of the kids looked super cute and it's always fun to see the Children's Mass! All of our kids have played Baby Jesus, except for Amelia, I think we were out of town the year she was a baby!

Cute little donkey!

Santa rode into town on a...

...FIRETRUCK! Rumor has it, the reindeer got hungry outside of town and refused to get Santa to his destination, so one of the members of our fire department had to go out and get Santa and bring him to town. The kids thought it was pretty cool that Santa rode around town in the fire truck wishing everyone a Merry Christmas before going to the township hall for all the children to come visit him.

I wish I would have thought to grab my camera a minute or two sooner so I could have gotten a better picture of Santa on the fire truck, but this works!

Addie was afraid of Santa!

Amelia thought Stella should be in on the pictures too...even if she's buried in her carseat!

My girls...

A lazy Friday night...after the chaos of running parts to Mankato for the shop! :)

Snow day!

Amelia had a snow day today because we got another 6-8 inches dumped on us. So Paul enjoyed having her home and they had a great time playing outside in all the snow in the backyard! It's getting mighty deep back there!

Stella is 3 months old

Stella Kate turned 3 months old last week, so it was time for a three month photo shoot. I took these pictures myself. I'm still learning how to use my new camera, and some of the pictures turned out better than others, so here are a few of my favorites. I just love her chubby cheeks and am happy that I captured them in some of the pictures!

Hazel's Baptism

My niece was baptized this past weekend, so we traveled to my mom's for one night and my grandparents for the other night and got snowed in, so ended up there for two nights. The Baptism was very nice and the church was gorgeous. I'm feel very honored to be Hazel's Godmother. Thank you Amber and Zane for asking me.
