Christmas Eve

Zippy is riding Rudoph back to the North Pole!  See you next year Zippy.  =)

Doesn't Graham look just like the Elf of the Shelf???

The pic is a little dark but I love snuggling with my girl. 

I like my pink dinosaur!  One of my first pink toys.  =)

Julia, Curt and their sweet 2011 blessing, Elise

A special Christmas Eve at Granny and Grandad's house.  Here Granny is singing Christmas carols.  It's amazing because she can mouth all the words to songs, yet she can barely speak when talking to her.

 Beautiful girl

 The Hubert five Christmas Eve 2011

 Me and my babies!  Not so little anymore!

 Wow, Uncle David.  Looking good in the Stratman family sweatshirt that gets passed around each Christmas Eve. 

 Laura, Luke and David

I got an early Christmas gift...a sleepy, snuggle Loey! 

Tucker's first haircut!

I figured it was time to do a trim for 'ol Tuck-Tuck since his bangs were in his eyes.  Here is a before pic:

An after pic!  (PLEASE excuse my pj's and no make-up)

Handsome fella!  One of these days, Loey will grow enough hair to need a a haircut;  not for another 2 years or so.  =) 

Twinsies!

Tuck Tuck! Happy boy with his morning face. 

 Oh Daddy, you are so silly!

 I don't encourage smoking, but as long as it's a veggietale I guess it's ok.  =)

 Buddies!

 Two peas in a pod.

We ADORE kittygirl!  Tucker's first word was kitty.  =)

Kittygirl is thankful there is a door between her and these goobers.

 "Tucker, don't worry, I'm a good driver."

We sure do have our arms full...

... full of LOVE!!!

"Can I have a turn, Tucker?"

Happy 3rd Birthday, Graham!

Last picture with my TWO year old!!!  Nighty night big boy.  =)

Good Morning from Zippy our elf!  He made Graham a birthday cake, ;)

Graham's train cake (made by Mommy).  He loved it!!!

"Gingerbread Man Train" (that's what Graham called it) made by Daddy and Graham

Birthday dinner with friends

Excited to tear into that cake! 

 Opening presents was a little chaotic.  Graham was SO into trains that once he opened a box of trains, he didn't care to open any other gifts.  Little did he know his last present from Gigi and Gpa was a TRAIN TABLE!!!

True train obsession.  It was like the rest of the world disappeared and Graham was in train heaven. 

 I LOVE MY TRAIN TABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I can't believe you are three years old, Graham!  What a year it has been!  You became a big brother and grew into such a handsome, sweet, spirited, smart, and loving boy. I love spending each and every day with you.  You are my treasure, for sure!!!  Right now you ask me to snuggle you each night before you go to bed.  I dread the day you stop asking me that!  I love you. 

Random pics of my Dec cuties

We decide to be creative with our broken picture frame.  =) 

One sock, sticky hair...yup!  That's Tucker!

All cleaned up and ready to melt some hearts! 

Look Mom!  I FINALLY got a tooth.  Only took about 6 months of "teething".  =) 

 Breafast with Santa and our Mothers of Mulitples friends. 

No tears!  Feeling pretty succssful =) 

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Last week, we had the most beautiful snow!  Our first one of the season, and the snowflakes were GIANT!  Graham and I were amazed by it and Graham could hardly wait to get outside to  make a snowball. 

When the babies went down for their morning nap, Graham and I got all dressed and spent a few minutes outside.  We made a snowball and threw it at the bush.  Good times.  ;) 

 Having kids makes normal events SO EXCITING!  So glad to experience life's fun events through the eyes of my kids.  Graham couldn't wait to tell Daddy about the snowball we made.
