November Celebrations

Annamarie Joanie's Baptism
Is was a wonderful occasion. Fr. Rick (who married us and also baptized Grandpa Mack) baptized our sweetheart which was truly special.Above: The Godmothers getting Annamarie dressed in her gown. My mother made it - it was beautiful, with this gorgeous cross lace. Her hat was mine from my baptism. Above: Godparents Aunt Rhonda & Uncle Ben

My mom made a delicious feast which was devoured in minutes because we had to keep an eye on these rascals! The four little boys get such a kick out of one another but it is crazy. Below they are pretending the chair is Noah's Ark as Camden told the story and they all rushed to jump aboard and save each other. Such a sight.Between that and legos, ring-around-the-rosie, and storytime, Tyler and Carter were EXHAUSTED- but not before tackling their cousins one last time!Aunt Kylie caught Cousin Elena sitting with Annamarie. It was incredibly cute. . . but even made us realize how much more fun that in just a year or two they will be like the boys in a back room playing together.they were a bit unsure of each other at first:

Above: My mom made these fabulous "Turkey Cake Pops" which were a huge hit (the picture doesn't do justice but it does have Cousin Luke in the background- we missed him and Brinn!) . Almost as popular- the hot chocolate she gave the boys at the end of the night- Carter drank every last drop . . .
Below: Tyler with his Godmother Aunt Kylie. . . although just two, he still understands she is someone very special in his life cause every time we see them, he loves to sit and cuddle with her.
Annamarie's Half Birthday

6 months old already?! Gigi & Popi and Zan & Janna came over for dinner and cupcakes. Tyler & Carter loved singing "Happy Half-Birthday" all day long. AND blowing out her candles (the only reason why we had a candle!).Above: Wearing another outfit Gigi saved as mine. It's very fun that she has some hand-me-downs from way back when . . . look at those fantastic legs!!


Other than that . . .
They are seriously hysterical. Watching TV this morning I look over. . . a huge couch and Carter is on Tyler's lap. That would typically cause a tackling war, but they were both so content. I very carefully took the picture so not to disturb the peaceful moment- and I don't mean just for them :)Above: Annamarie got her hands on a dinosaur and would not give it up- already a tomboy. . .
Below: Such a sweet sight as she cuddles all into Uncle Zan
