New Years Eve

We spent NYE with Elisabeth, Joe and Amelia again this year, and the girls had such a fun time!! Here are some highlights of their time together:

VERY engrossed in whatever they were doing

Mischief! Check out the video below...

The girls had a soggy (but fun!) time outside

CRAZINESS ensued! : )

Soggy and happy!

Last But Not Least.....The VanZanten Christmas!

Our final celebration was with my mom and Alex.  We also got to see Bret, Kari, and Hayden during our visit. Hannah had a great time, and even got to play in the snow a little bit. The way this winter is going, it might've been her only opportunity! We still haven't gotten more than two inches of snow at a time.  Here are some shots of our final Christmas:

Kiss the lion!

On the bridge with grandma - she loved throwing sticks into the water

I feel like I'm looking at a picture of me when I was little : )

Ring Around the Rosey!

First snowman!

Tis the season for cheesy smiles...

Silly dada!

"It's TIGER!!!!"

Christmas #3 - My Dad's Family

Hannah is lucky to have so many Christmas celebrations....but it feels like I have been blogging about Christmases for the past month!! : )  Here are some highlights from Christmas with my dad, my grandma, my aunt Faith, and my cousin Michael:

Being the only little kid = SPOILED! : )

She loves her beanbag chair - she gets mad when I try to sit on it and says, "Hannah's chair!"

I remember playing on a sit and spin when I was little - it's a classic

Beautiful at 87!

She LOVED this singing santa

Hannah's version of playing with the sit and spin is dangrous!

Vought/Forester Christmas

We went to Grandma Grandpa Vought's house on the 23rd, and then celebrated Christmas with Jay's side of the family on Christmas Eve/Christmas morning. Celebrating with two other kids made for some rough sharing moments, but they had fun for the most part.  I am pretty sure Henry's presents were the most coveted, followed by Nora's Loving Family van (which we now own, too). The kids were totally spoiled and definitely felt the love of Santa! Check out some pics and videos:

What is more fun...coloring, or wrapping presents?

Mmmmmm.....cool whip with grandma!

She looks so big in grandpa's arms!

The much-loved van

Henry + rattle = happy baby

Inspecting Henry's toys

I think she was excited about this one : )

Hannah is very territorial about her cool whip!

Dancing with grandpa!

Kisses for Hemi!

Let the Festivities Begin!

Here is our family Christmas....the first of many! Hannah's favorite toy was her mega blocks table:

Santa came!!

She loves playing with her animals on the block table : )

 Hannah also got together with the other February babies - she spent the most time with Addy:

Notice how much taller Hannah is!

Nora's Three!

We went to Amy and Andy's house for Nora's birthday on December 10th. Hannah and Nora had a lot of fun together; I think the Elmo cake was their favorite part! Happy birthday to Nora!

Nora stealing more icing off the cake...smart girl!

Happy Henry!

Hannah loved Nora's new pink hat : )
