Our beautiful girl in her beautiful Christmas dress

Heres Nellie in her Christmas Dress. She looks so cute. She twirled and danced in it!

The battle of the binks continues.......

Please note that initially she tries to look busy reading the book thinking that I wont notice that she has found another binky. Then she button hooks me........ several times!

We opened one gift a little early!

We let Drew and Nelson pick one present to open early. Nelson opened this vacuume. She LOVES is! Drew opened underwear. He was not open to having them on video.

Just because

These last two are here because when I mentioned that I was going to get the camera out to take a picture of the snow she stood there and said "cheese, cheese, cheese" until I took a couple pics! Its funny that now she likes the camera. Previously she would not smile when I pulled it out and would look away. Now............................................. a HAM~

Its a little chilly outside BRRRRRRRR!

Heres a couple of pictures looking off the deck. Its so beautiful. The first 2 "storms" pretty much missed us. This one has certainly left its mark!

A picture of our tree

We put this up a couple of weeks ago but I had not yet posted a picture. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas to all!

Here's Nelsons first Christmas picture with the folks from the North Pole!! As you can see she really enjoyed her visit!

A few great words from Nellie

We finally got her to talk on the camera! Enjoy!

Someone has had a very busy afternoon!

Nelson has officially found the plastics drawer. She cleared it out today then got inside the drawer. She was so proud of herself. She gave me a real big smile!

A few more pics from the 5k that my friend gave me today.

The first picture is all of us from Legacy that ran together. The second is a picture of the signs on our backs that say "for uncle Tim" and the 3rd is when we just finished!
