December Pics

Christmas 2010

so, i will post Christmas pics and then catch up on December pics. i'm surprised i have any pictures at all considering one or more of us has been sick almost every day of December. if it weren't for the Christmas memories with the girls, i would love to blot this month out of my head completely!!
Ella was such a big help decorating the tree this year!



Sweet baby girl

Christmas morning we had Swedish pancakes before opening presents!

i love that they are able to interact now!!





Ella looks so grown up in this picture! sad


These last 2 pics were taken by Christy, which is why they are such good quality!

probably my favorite pic of Katelyn so far!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Walter's Pumpkin Patch again this year! It is so fun there, with so much for the kids to do. We were there for 3 hours, and only did half of the stuff!


Here is a picture from 2 years ago of Simon and Ella
