Christmas

What did Santa bring?

He almost ate all of the cookies that we left for him.

Laken loved tearing into the paper.

YEAH, the fishing pole I asked for.

Mr. & Mrs. Claus and elves

Today Grandma and Grandpa dressed up like Santa and Mrs. Claus and all of us grand kids were the elves. We took candy canes around to the retirement homes and sang Christmas carols to the elderly people. Grandma said we're going to have to do this again next year.

Just playing

Who needs toys when you can play in the toy basket?

Opening weekend of deer season

My little hunter ready for his first day of deer hunting.

He refused to take his afternoon nap and this is what happened.

Playing with Rowdy.

Hanging out at the cabin.

Happy Birthday Laken

Happy 1st Birthday to our beautiful baby girl. We love you more than you will ever know.

More birthday pictures

Laken opened all of her birthday presents and got lots of clothes, a baby doll and some money. For some reason she thought that her baby should share her plug with her. Thank you everyone for the gifts.

Laken's first birthday

Laken turns 1 on the 4th, but we celebrated her birthday tonight.

She got tired of trying to get handfuls of cake, so she took the easy way out and just picked the whole thing up.

Yummmmy!

I think she would have eaten the whole thing if we would have let her.

Looks like she's made herself tired.

Happy Halloween

The Hunter getting ready to swat the Bumblebee.

Tonight after we went trick or treating, we dropped the girls off and then us boys and parents went on a hayride. It was a lot of fun and we got tons of candy. We rode in the wagon for almost two hours and stopped at several houses to trick or treat. I hope we get to go again next year.

Making a mess

Today Laken and I were playing in my room, making a mess. Laken dumped all of the stuffed animals out on the floor. Too bad she's not old enough to help pick up the toys yet.

Tackle

Laken has become quite the little bully. Anytime I lay down on the ground she thinks she has to tackle me. I think she's gonna be a bruiser.
