A New Era

A new era has come for the train..... Isabelle is now driving!  

First with Daddy....

so much fun!

And then by herself!!!  Such a big girl!

Love those genuine Amelia smiles

Little man catchin' some belly time!

Surprise Nana and Papa

After Christmas, instead of going home we decided to surprise Nana and Papa and stay there for the weekend!

 Papa and Landon cuddle time

 Papa, Daddy and the girls went on an adventure and got to see big machines.  Evidently they were a little too much for Isabelle.

 Little helpers

 Papa and the girls going on a ride!

 Who's driving this?!

 Feeding time!

 Still going!

 Go America!

 A full house for Nana's lap

Des Moines Christmas

This year we went to Des Moines to celebrate Christmas with Daddy's side of the family

 All of us packed up driving down.

Isabelle got a remote control car and Loves it!  She gets mad when it goes away from her, which is funny since she controls it.....hasn't quite figured that one out

Little Mickey has been found!!!!  Aunt Amber found him in her armrest.  Little Mickey has been missing since vacation

Not letting go of Mickey now!

 We stayed with Aunt Amber and the Safly's came to visit before Christmas service to meet Landon.  UNFORTUNATELY, I didn't take any pictures of the kids in their Christmas outfits.  Bummer.

 Fun with Paige, Unkie, Alaina, Amelia and Unkie Mark

 The girls went on a train ride together, unfortunately, Isabelle exited about half way through.....not quite ready for it.

Here they come around!
