Max's new room

The kids got to "help" Jesse paint Max's new room! They felt so cool helping to roll on the paint. Why we decided to take on a big project like that right before the holidays is beyond me, but we did it!!!!

Visit from Santa

The Reedsburg Library had Santa Claus and our kids had a great time! They had arts and crafts in one room. There was quite a long line, but everyone did well during the wait. We also took more pics at home around the tree and the lighted garland.

Fun Weekend

We had another great weekend! Saturday night, Grandpa Monte came up and we had a Badger get-together with some friends. We are smelling ROSES!!!!! We celebrated Grandpa's birthday a little early, and even had cake for breakfast! After that, we headed to get our tree, and had a fun time decorating and baking for the rest of the day and evening. The girls enjoyed trying on the tree skirt! What a fun Christmas it will be!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at home this year. Bumpa and Nana spent a few days with us, and Ellen, Randy and Sabrina's family joined us Thanksgiving Day. The kids loved helping Jesse start getting the lights up in the mild weather.

Funny pics

It has been awhile since I've updated! These are just some fun pics from mid-Nov. I came home one day to find Max "nursing" baby Diego, the girls are sporting their painted faces from the La Valle spaghetti supper (yes, those are supposed to be goatees), and the kids have enjoyed snuggling together in the mornings! We are enjoying each other!!!!

Snow

We had the first snowfall today! The kids were so excited right from the start. I even was excited, until I had to go out in it :) Max and Macy enjoyed playing outside before enjoying the warmth of inside. I also posted a recent picture of the kids stretched out on the floor...so big!

Milwaukee Zoo with Bumpa and more!

Last Saturday I had a baby shower in Milwaukee so I brought the kids with me while Jesse could get some much needed work done around the house. Bumpa met us at the zoo and stayed with the oldest 3 after I had to leave a little while later. They enjoyed lunch, and the train ride the best! Thanks to Bumpa for keeping them occupied while I had a great time at the shower with high school classmates! That night we had a great dinner at Northstar with Kirk and his girls. The kids enjoyed the chalkboard wall and toys while waiting for our food. Kirk also had our girls stay overnight, and they had a blast. When we got their the next day, they had a show that they put on for us. Kirk also made a yummy breakfast, including the BIG pancake just for Max! Thanks for the great time!
