four peas in a pod

 
These four kids definatly came from the same gene pool!

two year pictures

Riley is going to be turning 2 next week. I can't even believe it. 2 years ago at this time I was on the phone with my doctor begging her to just take him out already! Last week Carly took some awesome pics of Riley and our little family. She's so talented and I've received so many responses to her amazing talent. Thanks again Carly for this great gift.

trimming the tree

riley and i put the tree up yesterday. well, i put it up while he closely supervised. i love decorating our christmas tree. i love pulling out the ornaments and trying to remember when and where they came from. most of mine our new but i do have a few from when i was little. my aunt mary made all the kids an ornament every year and i still have all of them. i really wasn't too excited for christmas this year due to a long and hard year we have had but now that the tree is up and a wreath is hanging outside my door i'm excited for the season to start.
