Winter!

It is finally cold enough for winter clothes.  Here's Hannah showing off in PINK!

Eli in BLUE!

Yep mom - I can still manage to eat and have the coat on.  I'm good.

Hannah in full armor - not wanting her face in the pictures.

3 and 33

That's right folks - on Nov 5th Hannah and I reached a milestone - Hannah being 3 and I being 33.  

For one year we can hold up the same number if fingers (I just get to use both hands!).  

Can't believe how her short time has flown!!

Somebody around here is silly...

 Luckily, instead of another white cake, the kids and Derek got a Oreo cookie cheesecake.  I would definitely recommend it.  Eli was definitely enjoying it!

Like I said...somebody around here is silly!  Cheesecake and all!!

...one for Sarah, another for Hannah and a few more for Eli!

Reading cards with dad...still a little tired.

Helpin' open presents - it is fun to rip the paper even if they aren't our presents...

Daddy's bike - AKA fluid resistence rider...you can put your bike on this apparatus inside and it is like riding up and down hills outside - our new treadmill??  Hannah told Derek that we had bought him a bike...difficult for 3 yo to keep secrets...good luck at Christmas unless I shop alone...
