This post is a little bit of everything from the past few weeks!  Mom made ThePondFam5 this awesome snowman ornament/door hanger for Christmas.  Ever since Mike and I were newlyweds, we have always built snowmen in our yards (even when we lived in apartments).  As Rara was giving us this gift, she told us that every time she sees a snowman, they always remind her of us (so she made us a snowman that we can keep forever); Such a sweet and thoughtful gift we will treasure for always!  Speaking of special treasures, Anna Kate brought home this super cool Christmas star craft, and it has added so much color to our holidays!  Always so proud of our girls and their creations!

 

Anna Kate got bronchitis and ear infections over the holidays, but we made it through, just like these birdies (as Rose calls them).

 

I wore lots of pep talk tees in December (it was fun), and Noelle rocked out her Lite Brite sheets during my doctors’ appointments.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Cerly Grace!

 

“Thumbs up, thumbs up,” when I asked Rose if she was doing okay during Cerly’s tea party, and here’s Rose and Katie being silly girls all dressed up (admire their long hair in the mirror because soon they will both have cute bobs as a result of fun with scissors)!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Cerly!

Wedding day Ariel and after Christmas shopping with Noelle!  We’ve been going 90 to nothing pretty much since we’ve been home from Disney!  Looking forward to a more relaxed schedule in 2014.  So far so good!
