Gingerbread houses and ugly sweaters

Thank you Auntie Mames for throwing the annual Ugly Christmas Sweater and Gingerbread Housemaking party. Aside from the crazy toddler chaos, it was fun to get the cousins together and celebrate!

Portland

Portland was so fun. Thank you Gramie and Pop Pop for watching the big boys. Robert and I ate some really good food and hung out with some really good friends. Davis was a dream traveler and we have no complaints .

It was nice to get away from the normal day-to-day life and have a short adventure. Planning our next trip!

Oh, Christmas Tree 2016

Trimming the tree and feeling grateful. As I was watching the chaos of two toddlers attempting to decorate our Christmas tree, while feeding our newborn baby, all I could think about was this was a moment I'd been waiting my whole life for. Making memories with them; hopefully ones they will look back on fondly. 

Santa 2016

Thank you Gramie and Pop Pop for hosting a cookie party. The kids had a blast and Santa was a hit (except for Wyatt)! The treats were delicious and the company was great :)

Family Portraits

A couple of weeks ago we trekked out to Toro Park to take some much needed family photos. It was pretty chilly outside and Davis cried the whole time, but we are happy to have pictures of our new family of five. The candid ones are favorites, especially the kids.

Thank you Oma and Opa for the gift - we love how the pictures turned out!

Thanksgiving 2016

So much to be thankful this year - baby Davis and my healthy family of FIVE. Also thankful not to have to travel home for the holidays anymore :)

Thank you to both of our families for hosting delicious meals!

Life Lately

Life is busy in the Andersen house. Davis is "waking up" from his newborn phase and enjoys his activity mat more and more. Wyatt is growing up and is far from a baby these days. He keeps askingg ti go potty on the toilet - yikes. Hunter got an A+ report from the dentist and sat patiently like a pro! I was very proud of him. 

Life with three littles is busy, but the transition has been a little easier than going from one kid to two, so that has been a relief. I still don't venture out with all three much, as Davis is still napping a lot and the boys can usually stay occupied in the play room or backyard.
