Cutting down the tree!

On Saturday we took the kids to a Christmas tree farm near my parents house. They didn't really have any idea what was going on, but they were pretty excited when we put a tree in Grandpa's truck. Taylor picked out a tree that was about 2 feet tall. Taylor was very into decorating Grandpa and Grandma's tree and Chloe and Coby helped out a little too.

Here the girls are talking to Jake's family in CT on Thanksgiving.

well sort of....

Happy 26th Birthday Anna!

Aunt Anna turned 26 on Thanksgiving break. The girls were so excited to help decorate and get ready for Anna's party. Taylor and Chloe even made her homemade cards. And Coby was so excited about the party he danced on the table.

Awesome trip to the zoo

Jake and I took the kids to the zoo. It was Jake's first time to go to the Portland Zoo and the kids had a blast. We went at the end of the day and all of the animals were out, including the baby elephant which Taylor calls "so cute." Here are a few photos from our trip to the zoo:









Chloe is very excited about those big stuffed bears!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We're so lucky to be able to spend Thanksgiving at my parents house with family and friends. All three babies are sound asleep and we're about to eat. Perfect timing! Jake and I will actually get to sit down and eat Thanksgiving dinner this year! Here's a photo of the babies taken about an hour ago:

So how's that for a cute Christmas Card? It really shows what life is like with our 3 little angels. For some reason Santa was much scarier this year than last year. Here's last year's photo with Santa. It's funny to compare the 2 side by side. I was glad that Santa was brave enough to hold all 3 this year so I didn't have to be in the picture.

Big news

We get our rugs back. Now that Chloe makes it to the potty 95% of the time I figured I'd take my chances and roll the rugs back out.

All ready for Christmas

A few days ago I decided to try the kids Christmas outfits on them. I think it's kind of pointless to spend alot of money on something they are going to wear for one day. So I tried to squeeze the girls into last years Christmas dresses(which I bought at a tag sale for $5). Coby wouldn't fit into his outfit from last year, so I bought him this cute shirt and vest at the second hand store. And of course I had to snap a few photos. The lighting was horrible, we were inside and the kids didn't really cooperate. What a shocker. But hey at least they're getting older. Check them out last year:
