Here are a few random pictures taken from my iphone

Graham started a preschool program after our babysitter had to quit. 

We really like the new school.  I can get online and watch their classroom any time I want.

  

 We took the kids to the All Aboard Restaurant. 

 Graham thought it was very cool that the train brought his food to the table.

 Caroline received the student of the month award at school.

Below is a picture of her new desk we put in her room. 

Now she can do her reading and homework without Graham bugging her.

Graham had to come with me to work one day.  He loved it!

Benjamin and I before we left for a friend's wedding.

Megan and I waiting for the midnight playing of the last Twilight movie.  We joked that this is only night we get out a year.  (Only because our husbands would do anything to get out of having to go with us.  Even keep all the kiddos)

Caroline and her friends at a sleepover at the farm.

Daddy-Daughter Dance 2013

 Caroline and Benjamin had their annual Daddy-Daughter Dance this past weekend.  She looks forward to this all year.  We picked out a fancy "golden" dress and did her nails and makeup.  

They had lots of fun!

CHRISTMAS!!!

This year we had Christmas at the farm.  My family and the Phelans came on Christmas Eve.  I cooked a big Christmas dinner for everyone.  We decided we were all a bit tired of the traditional fare so I went with something different.  My combination of food was completely crazy, but since I'm preggo I decided it didn't matter!  I cooked white chicken enchiladas, homemade salsa, homemade lasagna, chicken pasta, green bean bundles, pecan pies, chocolate chip cookies, and oreo balls.  For Christmas breakfast I made a breakfast sausage casserole and a bacon and swiss quiche.   

The kids had a great time getting play with everyone!

Graham and Matthew playing baseball.....in the house.

Graham is watching out the window for Santa and the reindeer!  He was really excited this year.  I think he understood what was going on a little better.  He kept talking about Santa coming down in the fire place!

Caroline and her buddy, Natalie.

We all watched Home Alone before bedtime

 

Santa Piles....I think I went overboard!

Here are the kids on Christmas morning, seeing their Santa goodies.

 Graham's new scooter from Nana.

 Caroline got lots of new books for Christmas.  I am so proud of her!  She is already in the second grade level reading groups!  I think she is going to be a reader like me!

I think Graham's tool bench was his favorite Christmas item.

Mimi drove down on Christmas morning.  She has never been with the kids on Christmas day.  She was very excited and the kids loved showing her all their stuff.

The kids in some of their Christmas outfits....

I can't remember any Christmas that was this white!  It was sooo much fun!  Ben pulled the kids behind the four wheeler on the sleds.  They played for hours in the snow!  Mimi, Nana, and Aunt Christie got to see all their fun!  The farm was so pretty! 

Sambo liked playing in the snow too!
