Oct.-Dec. 2018 Highlights

We planted a forest (a bunch of big trees) in our backyard.

My cutest little lunch date!

Scarecrow Festival with the Craguns and Thomases

We spent Fall Break at a condo in Eden with the Craguns and Thomases. We had a blast!

Nerf Gun Fight!

I threw a baby shower for my friend Haylie. 

We took a family trip to Hee Haw Farms!

Andy got runner-up in Reflections for music. Not bad for deciding to enter an hour before it was due, ha ha.

Cute Max and Violet at library storytime.

Grandpa Greg

Mid-November we found out we're expecting a baby, due July 26!

I accompanied the 2nd graders in the Christmas Sing, so Violet accompanied me to the rehearsals. And she loved to sit by Isaac.

Max is obsessed with this jacket and begs to wear it every Sunday.

Penny and Sara came over and had a sleepover!

Rachel and Jake got married!

Sister shot.

Family shot at the reception.

 New Year's Party at the Thomases!

Christmas 2018

Alright, admittedly I'm writing this over a year later, so the details are VERY fuzzy. But here are some pictures from Christmas 2018! Highlights were telling the kids I was pregnant on Christmas Eve and surprising them with a trip to Hawaii.

Ward Christmas Party!

Festival of Trees

The prank I played on my parents! Gave all this weird stuff from them to the Coxes for Christmas. 

Our first time doing the Polar Express!

The smile! Maybe my most favorite picture of Max ever.

Winterton Family Party! Andy and Uncle Dale.

Chimes Time!

Lucy, Elizabeth, and Violet

Love these people so much.

Lauren, Christine, Kathryn, and Me. Best cousins!

Ready for the Christmas Sing!

Gingerbread House at the Grand America

Christmas Sunday!

Cute Mary (Violet) at our Christmas Eve Nativity

Santa Came! Max wanted a Bald Eagle (which he named Reed Wilde after a boy in Andy's class, ha ha). Violet got a scooter, which she has used a LOT. She flies around on that thing! And Andy got a Star Wars Lego Set.

We love getting Christmas cards.
