December!

I can't believe how quickly December has come. I realize that I say that every month, at least it feels that way, but December wasn't any different. The boys are SO excited for Christmas and the fact that they have been counting down the days since before Thanksgiving only makes time go that much faster. Although they would argue that the countdown makes time go slower. Anyways, we have filled our time with fun including trips to the library, a Bucks game, Christmas parties, and forts. I've said it before, and there is nothing that will ever change my mind on the fact, that I absolutely being a mom to these three. Life is good and Christmas will be here before we know it! 
Let's just all cry over how old my
baby(ies) looks in this photo.






I caught all of them snuggled up on the couch
while I made some dinner. I love them!
The big boys LOVE their soccer class. 
Gosh, he's cute!
Mr. Oliver LOVES emptying out
the refrigerator.
I was casually addressing Christmas cards and
all three boys made their way over to help me
out. The big boys put stamps on all 85, Oliver
colored pictures. And then they all smiled for a picture.
LIFE IS GOOD! 
Excited about his new December
pajamas!
Miles is excited too.

Wanting to show them off, not
wanting to take a picture. Conflicts
of a four year old.


Just some casual cool cats waiting for
mom and dad to get ready for church.


These two had a blast at the Bucks game!




All smiles!
Dad had fun with Oliver!

Merry Christmas!
Ollie loves helping me
get ready.
This kid though.
I lucked out with such amazing boys!

Haircut day. Before..

During.

After. And SO over it.
The boys LOVE the Milwaukee Public Library.

They also LOVE building forts.

A Day in Chicaguh

Some much needed 7 wonders
The Porters, bless them, drove over to Milwaukee just to spend a few hours with us in our own home and then drove down to Chicago with us to explore the aquarium and taste some deep dish pizza. They are such dear friends and it was so nice to reconnect with them! Even if that meant losing every game with played. We are so grateful for their friendship and willingness to drive to us on Blake's precious time off!
"Just act natural!"

We stayed up much too late, but it was well worth it. 
Little cutie loves his corner.

The field museum was a hit!



The boys were fascinated by all of the bones!

Woah. That's a huge dinosaur!

"Mom, did you see how big this is?!"

Giordano's was delicious!


And the aquarium was incredible.


Thank goodness I live on land.
It was a long day, but successful to say the least.
We love the Porters!
