I make no promises that i get my stuff together and actually make the Christmas card-but a few good pics from our photo shoot! 

A week away!

 A week until Christmas-I can't believe it! Em had a great time going to see the Nutcracker on Saturday with Nana. We got to have a girl's tea beforehand--also so fun! Jordan is a standing fool now, any day now he'll be walking! I can feel it!

Only 7 more sleeps until Christmas! We can't wait!

 Tea Time!

How is it that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! It has been a fun Christmas season with the kiddos-while busy (isn't everyone) we are also trying to take things slow, and enjoy the little moments! Em had her first snow day of the year this week-Chris and her went sledding, built an igloo and did some Christmas shopping. Simple, fun pleasures.

In super, jumping out of my seat, excitement-Jordan stood up on the couch on his own and took 2 steps!! You have NO IDEA how amazing this is. One step closer to walking!!

I don't have a ton of pics from the week, but this video is priceless. Both of these kiddos steal my heart!

The holiday season is upon us!! We took the kiddos to Breakfast with santa-they had a ball hanging out with Ella and Emmett. We got a new Christmas tree (our other one was just too sad!!). And drove around and looked at Christmas lights. All in all, a successful holiday weekend! 

 Love these two! 

 New Tree!

Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for, but I am most thankful for our family! We could not have cuter kiddos, and I know that Chris and I are so blessed. We had a great holiday break, full of lots of family time, cooking and baking. 

A perfect pumpkin pie

Jordan had enough fun 

 uggg, that face!

Seems about right...

 Cousin Time! 

Cuties! 

 Family Pic Time! 

Em had her Thanksgiving Feast at school today, it was so fun getting to see her in the school environment! Both kiddos are doing great. Em is so close to loosing her first tooth! Jordan is still working on walking, and is trying to pull up way more often. Him and Lou are best friends (probably because Lou gets all of his extra food...). One more week until Thanksgiving!!

 A boy, and his two favorites-a bottle of milk and his puppy (oh and he's watching Baby Bum...)

 When your sister gives you a bath...

First things first, Em has a loose tooth! This is her first one, so she is a little nervous about it...so it'll probably stay in her mouth until it falls out on its own. She also got her first report card-she rocked it! She is doing so well academically at school and finally seems to be setting in socially to. .Next, Jordan loves pickles. Yep, he is a weird 1.5 year old. Finally, I usually don't share a ton about work, but we hosted an AWESOME culture night this past week, attendance was well over 300 (still waiting on the official count). A lot of work went in to it, and I'm happy it went so well! 

 Yum!

Culture Night Staff!

Ah! I was the worst at taking pictures, but we had a great weekend! We hosted a clam bake at our house (and yes, it totally snowed!) but we had a TON of fun! And great food! Other updates, Jordan had his 18 mo appoitntment- 23.7lbs and 33 inches. That puts him in the 30% for weight and 80% for height for a "typical" 18mo old!! WOW! The Dr. says she is super happy with all of his progress, and while he does have some gross motor delays (not walking yet) she still things he will catch up by the time he is two. We are seeing a lot of progress with his walking, and he is starting to pull up on things. All in his time! Em had a TON of fun trick or treating, although she only lasted about an half hour, then wanted to pass out candy. It was COLD! I'm happy Halloween is over because now it is time for CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!! Don't judge..

Em had her last soccer game of the season-they did not win.. but she still got a trophy! We did trick or treat around the square Saturday night and got doughnuts down Sunday morning. Kiddos are doing well, this month is flying by! 

 So proud! 

Orange Crush! 

Lounging!

Crazy shoe day!

Well, I just don't have much to post. Which I'm ok with! We "kind of" have a routine figured out with everyone, and life seems to be working. Em had a soccer game Saturday-rocked it, scoring several goals. Em and Jords did a lot of hanging out time (oh and destroying our house...). It's pretty cool to see them play and interact. Em is an awesome big sis, and Jords is just a sweetheart. Chris is going out of town for a few days this week with his students, so I'm bracing for the chaos. 

 Chillin in bed for a lazy Sunday morning. Kiddos slept until 7 (Em) and 7:30 (Jords). Jordan owed me after starting Saturday at 4:45am! 

Chris and I have been married 10 years! I can't believe it has been that long! We decided to go away for the weekend, and the kiddos had grandma/nana time. It was great (and relaxing!) to get away, but we sure missed those little buggers! In GREAT news-Jords is a crawling FOOL and has started pulling up-wont be long before he is standing on his own! Em has a whole week on "good" at school-trust me this is big news for our talkative girl!! 

 10 years married-still look damn good! 

View out the back of the house we stayed. so pretty!

 Haning with the trolls!

 soccer-she scored 6 goals!
