Christmas

Mimi and Squeezy came for Christmas. We didn't have snow but the boys got Red Rider BB Guns and Brooke got an American Girl doll. They were VERY happy!

Luke's swim meet

Luke did great in his first swim meet. Here he is in the freestyle.

Luke's 8th Birthday

Luke had a blast turning 8! We went to Chuck E Cheese and then had some friends over for dinner. I made him a guitar cake and he thought "it rocked!!"

Brooke's 5th birthday

Brooke had a Fancy Nancy party so all of her guests dressed in their fanciest clothes. They were too cute!

Halloween

This year Brooke was a cheerleader, Luke was an army guy, and Drew was a S.W.A.T. team guy. We had a beautiful night for trick or treating and they loaded up on the candy, of course!

New nieces and nephew

We went to St. Louis Matt's 20th high school reunion in mid October. He had fun reconnecting but we were most excited about meeting our new niece, Anne Marie and our twin niece and nephew, Ainsley and Grant. They are very cute! We will get to see them again at Thanksgiving.

Andrew's birthday

Andrew is now 9 years old! We celebrated by going to Cedar Point Amusement Park (with Mom and Dad, who went on the scariest ride there!). My dad got him a fishing pole and a tackle box which he loves. He won't be a BAIT fisherman for long though.
