Our Christmas Tree Adventures

Mommy always likes the idea of us all going out to pick out the tree.

Although, most often chaos is inevitable.

 Daddy's always asking, is this one ok???

Our beautiful tree!

Visit to Nana and Pops

Love this picture (us girls are in the background).

Christmas Traditions

So sad us girls missed our annual Bass Pro Shop day; 

but our cousins came along.

Our posts got a little out of order as we can finally post pictures of our official little brother.  

He has grown quite a bit...because he loves to eat.  

Do you see how mom blocked off the pretty Christmas tree from the hoodlums?

Friday at Lola's

 Swimming in Opa's pool is the best!

 He always lets his little princesses warm it up a bit.

 Axel LOVES the water (it's scary)!

Lola is always up for seeing her grandkids.

Everybody's favorite: Tita Ema's Pancakes!

Oliver has been outweighing Axel 

for a while but he is taking over in height. 

 They are just 3 months apart.

Had to throw in this extra happy one.

Axel's 1st Birthday

 Axel turned 1 today, we are so thankful to God for him!

 He liked the cake.

Pops helping clean up.

Brothers

 Bear was comforting Axel after his shots.

Looking at the rain together.

Swimming at Nana's

 Olivia got to come hang out with us swimming at Nana's.

 It was more like a constant game of push each other in.

 Axel chillin' in the water.

Celebrating Children's Day

 This year Natscha helped us pick up a new tradition by celebrating Children's Day while Nora and Oliver spent the weekend over.  We had a fun time and we even got to ride the train at church.

When mommy came home from church and was wondering why Nora was crying...because Uncle Berni was making Nora eat something "terrible"- a McDonald's cheeseburger (it was her 1st time).
