She looks adorable, and it makes my life so much easier.

Thankful Thursday

1. Family Traditions~ we've developed quite a few over the years (like Chinese food on Christmas Eve, random!!) Here is a new one this year, The Elf on the Shelf. The girls named him Yart. Don't ask, I have no idea. We read it every night.
2. The SNOW! It really was cool, this is our first year here where it's snowed. Can't say I missed it over the past few years, but it really was fun. I still can't believe they called off school on account of this!

Kylie with snow in her hair. She was elated!3. Preschool Christmas Program- as expected, it was adorable! They had Santa hats and reindeer antlers. Oh and the cute little Christmas gift handprint, the gingerbread house... Tate goes all out!

4. Awesome Friends- Thank you to the awesome girls who battled the elements for our GNO last night. Super fun, you all are great... it was so fun and thanks for seeing Twilight (again with me).

5. And I'm thankful for a great birthday. Seriously isn't my husband the sweetest! He's the best. He did that post while I was out Wed evening... I kinda knew he had something up his sleeve when his reminder went off on his phone that said, "Blog About Nicole." Hehe, so I figured something was up. However, I do feel that he completely humilated me with the pictures, I really was a cute child. So here's my attempt at redeeming myself.

************

Me. I actually still have that outfit, I should get a pic of Kadyn in it and then post the pics.

Kadyn now, see how she looks like me! She really does... no I'm not in denial Matthew.Me at 4. Also, I like how his favorite picture of me is the one where I could NOT look anymore different from what I look like now... that blonde hair thing was a phase.

Happy Birthday Nicole and Mommy!

Happy Birthday to the BEST wife in the world!

December 18th is Nicole's Birthday.

Nicole is a GREAT wife and mother! She is absolutely the love of my life and I wouldn't be the same man without her. She has blessed us with 3 BEAUTIFUL girls and continues to bless me with her companionship. I am a lucky, lucky man!

She is my best friend and I look forward to spending eternity with this amazing & wonderful woman, friend, mother, & wife!

I love you Nicole!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIDDO!!!

Monday Monday

Snow on the Palm Trees

Something about that just seems strange.

The girls weren't too thrilled with it, it was cold and wet... not a big hit. And not enough to make a snowman. They probably would have liked it if they could build a snowman. Anyways, we stayed cozy and warm inside almost all day! This was a picture Matthew took with his phone on his way back to work after meeting us for lunch. (midday, doesn't it look dark and dreary)

Sunday Morning Pictures

Daddy and the girlies... hang on Kadyn, precious little thing! Check out my red heels, they're crocodile print... love them... hurt like you wouldn't believe but I love them! :)
