4 months

My little buddy is 4 months old and as cute as can be!  We love him so much that he might be kissed out by the time he is one.  Colin is a growing boy and changing before our eyes.  He loves his sisters, mommy and daddy (maybe mommy the best though).  He laughs, coos, drools and sucks his fingers.  He has been enjoying some chew toys and grabbing them by himself.  We are amazed by him everyday and love his laid back personality be has.

 We can roll from our belly to back, but haven't mastered back to front.  I have a feeling the next two months a lot will happen in his little world.

My little man.  How can you not just fall in love with this face!

Christmas at dance

Last Thursday Alivia had her annual dance show for Christmas.  She did an amazing job and I was so proud of her.  It's crazy how much they can grow and change in a year.  Alivia loves dance and it's fun to watch her enjoy it!

School Christmas Performance

Alivia did a great job this year at her school performance.  She sang, smiled and have fun with her friends.  I can't believe how fast she is growing up these days.  Next year it will be Ella doing all of this which is so hard to believe...

 A big wave from Alivia when she finally found me in the crowd

Macy's 8th floor

Our annual trip to Macy's 8th floor was a success.  The girls had a blast this year and actually enjoyed going through many times.  Colin loved the lights and and everything around him to look at.  We even went and saw Santa which was our third time.  Alivia and Ella told him their two things they really want which is make-up and chap stick.  Colin just sat there like a trooper and went with the flow.

 Alivia really into watching the candy factory at work

 We even got to write out letter to Santa and send it in the mail.  

Snow Day

We finally got some snow and Alivia and Ella we so excited to go out and play in it.  This is basically the first for Ella since we didn't get much snow last year.  So we bundled up and headed out while Colin slept.  We ran, played and made a small attempt at a snowman.  The girls and I had a blast!

So excited!

Fun Times

Alivia and I tend to do crazy things while the little ones are sleeping these days.  I let her do the things I would never allow Ella to do.  On this day we were building mountains (as Alivia called them) to jump over.  Here is my little princess doing her crazy jumps.

Holiday Party

Every year our family goes to Breakfast with Santa.  This year it didn't work out with all the different schedules so we decided to do our own this year.  The kids decorated cookies, made crafts and even got a chance to see Santa.  It was a special day for the kids and I will have to say it was pretty cool  as a mom to see how happy my kids were.  Love this time of year!

 More Santa fun

Four pretty happy kids!  Can't wait till next year:)

Fun sister day

The girls have so much dressing up and taking pictures these days.  Thanks to Paul we get to do this often.  On this day we not only did we do the fun wedding dress pictures, but we also got in some fun holiday pictures.  This year the girls wanted to do the whole sparkle thing so they each picked out fun outfits to wear.  

 Sister love!!!

 My little Ella.  Don't be fooled by this sweet smile she can turn on you in a heartbeat, but we love her dearly.

And my Alivia.  She is my sweet and sensitive little lady.  

Wedding Day

So I totally copied pinterest and had the girls picture taken in my wedding dress.  They had so much fun playing dress up.  I printed these and put them away in our safe to hopefully remember down the road when they get married to give them these on their wedding day.  So much fun and many pictures to choose from!
