Family Fun

Austin's parents came to visit for Thanksgiving. We all had such a great time. Jensen especially.

One day they headed to Omaha to see the Air and Space Museum.

Luke inherited a love of puzzles from his Grammy. They worked on this one together one afternoon.

Austin's mom brought the boys some Ironman gifts - they were in heaven!

We wanted Austin's parents to get a taste of Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house so we did some of our Christmas activites like decorating Christmas cookies.

Austin had a little too much fun

We all had a really good time decorating the cookies.

Black frosting? Why not.

Jensen didn't quite understand that the frosting was supposed to go on the cookie rather than in his mouth.

We had such a wonderful visit with Austin's parents. We hope they can visit again soon!

I couldn't end this blog without some shots of our darling baby Eliza.

Grandma do you miss me?

She's definitely a morning person

She had a good night's sleep - 12 hours straight!

How could she not brighten everyone's day?

The new Christmas mascot

Eliza was so happy to receive her Christmas stocking made by Austin's grandma.
She made all of these stockings. She is amazing. The size and perfection of these stockings revolutionize Christmas for me. When I was a kid, all we got in our stockings was candy - but with the size of these stockings, the possiblities are limitless.

She was sad that there was no candy in there - takes after her mom

Pretty in pink

Don't judge me on how messy the room is in this video - I've been sick for the last week and a half.
