Christmas happenings

I'm such a slacker lately (that explains the out of order, LONG post). Being a Mom of three is definately a lot harder than I expected but I wouldn't trade it for anything! Life would be so boring without the little kiddos. I'm slowly getting the hang of things.
I love giving this girl a bath. She is so happy the whole time.
she looks nervous.

she looks like she might be starving

trying to enjoy some tummy time. that sweet face gets me every time.

Christmas is over just like that

I had to have proof that I have done their hair

Christmas morning (my pictures are in the wrong order. sorry, I have no time to fix them).

The Wood Christmas party

the kids love dressing up for the nativity

These three are such good buddies. It's amazing how well Reese fits into the family.

Making gingerbread houses

I think the only thing Weston did was eat candy and watch me decorate. He loved tasting every single piece

So proud of their houses

the best part of making gingerbread houses is making a big mess


Santa came to visit Grandma and Grandpa Bowen's house again and the kids loved it!! They got to sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas and then Santa gave them a present. They had such a blast, I think it was the most fun they've had in a long time. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!

West and Santa (they look like they're good friends).

The present they got from Santa


Grandma and the kids reading the neatest Santa story. My Mom got the book when she was about three or four and she still has it so she reads it to the kids every year and they enjoy it so much. It's a fun tradition.


Just the beginning of all the kisses this girl is going to get (hopefully just from her brothers).


Grandma and Grandpa always do the twenty four days of Christmas. It is so much fun for the kids. They have to do their chores before they can open their presents so they get everything done so quickly. I love it. It's the very best part of the day for these two!

the two handsome little devils

These guys are so much fun to have around. I feel like such a lucky person to be the Mom of these three amazing kids.

The blessing


We blessed Reese a while ago and she was an angel the entire day! Kev gave her the most beautiful blessing and she stayed quiet the whole time. I think she was trying to listen closely to what her Dad was saying. She is such a Daddy's girl!! The boys have been doing such a great job helping me with Reese everyday. We feel so blessed to have this sweet little girl in our family.
