Happy Birthday Caroline!!!

I am really late getting my blog updated but here are pictures from Caroline's 5th Birthday. I can not believe how much she has grown up this year. She is such a great big sister.

Lots of presents to open.

Thank you Grandma Browning for our Fancy Nancy Blanket and book!

Thank you Ms. Susan for the Birthday Hat!

Christmas

We had one of the most amazing Christmases this year! We were able to go to Michigan and celebrate with Scott's family. It was great to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We had snow and great weather the whole time we were there. We had so much to be thankful for.


Our four Christmas blessings! This may end up being one of my favorite pictures ever! They were all looking at the camera and smiling.

Three snuggly girls.

We went to Bronner's (the biggest CHRISTmas store in the world) and saw Santa.

Natalie received a lot of Dora this year (She loves it).

Sharing our gifts.

We LOVED opening all our presents on Christmas morning.

Natalie is a Dora girl and Samantha got some help from Grandma opening her presents.

I love these two pictures of Samantha on her first Christmas! Sweet Girl.

Jacob loves his Titans!

Grandpa and Grandma made the kids the neatest boxes with all kinds of goodies in side. VERY FUN!

Thanks for such a great Chrismas.

Sledding

For Christmas vacation we were able to go to Michigan this year and lucky for us they had SNOW!!! The kids were in heaven. Here are some pictures of our days on the hills.

The three big kids on their sleds.

Scott and I got our workout by pulling kids back up the hill. Eventually, however, they were doing it themselves. And then of course, when they were tired, it was back to Mom and Dad's ski lift.

Natalie was eventually doing it all by herself!
