Jon and I are the proud parents of our sweet children Bentley, Bailey, Wyatt, Sophia, and Olivia. We love spending time as a family, especially outdoors. I enjoy being a mom, baking, reading, and working as a dental hygienist part time. Jon loves being a dad, playing hockey, riding dirt bikes, working out, and also keeps himself busy with his pest control company. Our kids keep us busy with sports, music, dance, gymnastics, and school.

Gift exchange and Christmas Eve 2012
The Sunday before Christmas my mom made a delicious dinner for us all and we had our annual family gift exchange. This year we did it white elephant style. It was fun but we were all pretty boring and didn't trade much so it was over much quicker than I thought. The kids drew names and exchanged gifts that way! Everyone got spoiled and received really nice gifts. We have so much fun getting together with family and the kids just love playing with their cousins.
The next day was Christmas Eve! We went over to my Aunt Corina's house and enjoyed pizza, wings, salads, and delicious deserts. Corina is a fabulous baker and her desserts never disappoint. It was so fun to be with family yet again!
It doesn't happen very often that we can all get baby sitters and meet for dinner, but it did the weekend before Christmas! We all met at Charlestons and then played games afterword.
This was our attempt to take a family picture after church in the kids Christmas outfits but it didn't go so well:(
Attempt number 2 was a little better if it weren't for the sun in our faces!
Jon helping my mom with dinner. I am so glad I have a husband who is willing to help out in the kitchen!

Michael is literally a baby whisperer. We need to give him the official title! He not only calms Wyatt, but also puts him right to sleep!
The girls visiting
I round brushed Bailey's hair on Christmas Eve and I thought she looked so grown up! I am actually surprised she let me do it and I think she looks darling.
