A Little Bear Family Christmas

On the Sunday before Christmas, we attended church, ate out for lunch and then enjoyed opening gifts as a family. Kieran and Kiptyn were so excited to see all the gifts under the tree when they woke up on Sunday morning! I couldn't wait to watch the kids open their special gifts from us!

Mommy wanted a picture of the three of them in front of the tree first--you can tell the boys just wanted to get this picture over with and get to those presents!!

Chloe was so excited to open gifts--she really liked the paper!

Every girl loves new clothes!!

A Dreamlite for the boys to share in their room!

New Digital Cameras!

Kieran asked for a new Leapster Game for Christmas!

An Iowa Hawkeyes jacket for Chuck!

Chloe's New Little Kitchen!
She liked the baby on the front of the box!

Mommy got new cozy, soft socks!! Love them!!

If you asked Kiptyn what he wanted for Christmas, he would say, "John Deere Christmas!" He got his John Deere!!

I'm Back....

Hello again!! I'm back from my little blog break--it wasn't actually that long of a break, but long enough. I had to decide whether or not this blog was really worth my time--and now $! I know, crazy right?! It's not breaking the bank or anything, but still! Does anyone really read this blog? Does anyone really care what my kids do? ( I know you do, Violet!)

But, here I am again, typing to you and sharing pictures with you. I missed my blog. I like my blog. I hope you do too! Comments are welcome!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with my family! It was a relaxing 4 days at my parents house and great to see family on Thanksgiving day! We took pictures, of course, so here you go:
