We had our traditional New Years Eve...dinner with family friends at Outback then the kiddos went home with my parents and we went to a "Pajama Party" at the Wheelers! It was a great way to "rock" in the New Year!

Merry Christmas
Santa came and left lots of goodies for Ella, Cole and Drew...so they must have been good this year!! It really was so much fun watching them open gifts this year. They both were at the stage where they opened, looked at the gift, and then went looking for more!! Cole said his favorite thing was his choo-choo train table from Santa and Ella's was her Bitty Baby from Santa. Drew was also thrilled about his new baby monitor!! Such a fun Christmas to spend as a family of FIVE!!

Cookie and Book Exchange Playgroup
The Raneks were so gracious to host us for our annual Christmas cookie and book exchange playgroup. The kids all had such a good time!!
The funny part about this picture is that the kids did this all by themselves!! Alli went to check on them and there they were...all ready for a picture!
Cole is SUPER excited about his new book!!

Better late than never!
We finally got our tree all decorated!! The kids had so much fun looking at all of their ornaments and finding the special places for all of them to go.
Cole's branch...all of the ornaments that we gave him to put on went into the same place!!

We got together at Jim and Judy's for the annual Christmas Cookie baking day. We were so excited because Natalie, Chris's girlfriend, joined us for a while. Ella, Cole and Anna got into the mix and had a ball decorating and eating the icing. Such a fun day!!

Our little monster is 3 weeks old
Cole wanted to join in the mix!!
Drew is a pretty good baby. He is not quite as laid back as I remember Cole being, but he is only 3 weeks old:-) He really only cries when he wants to eat...which is quite frequently, especially in the evenings. He had a stretch of about a week where he was sleeping through the night (11:30p-6ish) but I let him stretch out his feedings a bit too much with running errands and I got him off schedule a bit. (It could be the 3 week growth spurt too) He is sleeping in his car seat that sits in the cradle next to our bed. He seems to be following suit with the other two and mommy...reflux!! All babies have some reflux, I know, but he really gets upset about it! We will see what the doc has to say when we see her again. Our first MD appt was when he was 5 days old and he had already regained his birth weight so we aren't going back to see the doc until he is a month old. I can't wait to see how big "beefy" is by then!! Ella and Cole are adjusting. They haven't had any jealousy that they have taken out on Drew, mostly just acting out to get mommy or daddy's attention...which is to be expected. They really seem to love him!!

Her daddy took her on a special dinner and movie date for her birthday. It was super fancy...Five Guys and the Disney movie Tangled! They had a great time!!
Cole being his grumpy self!! Very upset that he doesn't get to go too!!
