Picture Perfect Christmas

We had another wonderful Christmas, full of exciting family parties and lots of new toys. We are so blessed and Christmastime is a beautiful reminder of how deeply God loves us.

Could there be two cuter kids??

Ben got play-dough from Uncle Bobby; it was a hit!

Santa Sightings

There have been a few close encounters of the Santa kind. First at Florence Mall:



Then at Mimi's St. Nick party:

(unfortunately Linc was too terrified to sit with Santa this year, but Grace requested presents for both of them.)

Sweet Dreams

Here's a conversation between Mommy and Lincoln. He was just waking up from his nap and I went in an picked him up:
Mommy: Good morning handsome; did you sleep good.
Linc: mmhmm
Mommy: Did you have good dreams?
Linc: mmhmm
Mommy: Did you dream about Santa?
Linc: no
Mommy: Did you dream about Frosty the Snowman?
Linc: no
Mommy: What did you dream about?
Linc: Nana

After this story is repeated to Nana, I think Linc may find a few extra presents for him under the tree at Nana & Papa's house :)

Five Years of Wedded Bliss

To celebrate our anniversary, Tony and I took an adults-only vacation to Cancun (with friends Emily and Kevin). It was great! And just to prove it, here are a few pics:

PS I know the Christmas background is a little early, but I was feeling festive so I went for it.

Halloween Pictures

Had a great time this Halloween - lots of candy collected by all :). Lincoln was adorable as he pointed out every spooky decoration by calling it a "Boo" and Grace played the part of a princess perfectly as she had a meltdown because her gown wasn't "just right" (she didn't want to wear pants underneath it).
Enjoy (sorry they're in reverse chronological order)

Perfect Honesty

Grace explaining to Mommy why she hasn't been able to put her pajamas on by herself when Mommy asked her to, "I can't because I'm to busy wanting to play with my dollies."
Can't argue with that.

Fun in the Fall

SUPER GRACE!!

I swear I didn't dress them to match on purpose, but aren't they cute?!

Daddy and Lincoln fixed the big girl bike!

Wedding of the Year

I know you've all been waiting to see pics of Grace & Lincoln's premier as Flower Girl and Ring Bearer . . . so wait no more!

Sorry there aren't more, there was a lot going on that day and it was hard to remember to take pictures :)
