Ginormous Photo Dump


Whoa. There are a lot of pictures here. I have been gone from this blog for far too long.


Otsego Pumpkin Day! An annual tradition! Kids have a blast and we get free pumpkins. Bonus.








Halloween. A vampire and a member of the SWAT team. Adorbs.

 Check out that loot!

We've been running the turkey run on Thanksgiving morning, for the past 6 or so years with Kelli and Christian-not pictured!. We love it! It's a great way to start out the amazing holiday! This year was so beautiful out!
Guys letting out a little steam before heading to the Greenwald's!

 Climbing trees with Uncle Bryan!

The day after Thanksgiving, we went to get our Christmas tree! Ross and I started doing this after we got married and I love that we've continued this tradition with our boys. They enjoy it so much!


Cutting down the perfect tree!



 Rocko found his spot!

The Star!




 The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we went to Breezy Point for a second holiday get together with my side. Not all of our family was in attendance, but we had a great time nonetheless. Swimming, eating, Jenga, Headbanz, movies...FUN!


Meet Danielson! Our ElF on the Shelf. He joined our family to keep and eye out for good and bad behavior. He reported back to santa on a nightly basis. This is a genius idea!


 And he had a lot of crazy shenanigans!

Ross and I took a trip with our friends to Aruba! We rang in 2013 in this beautiful paradise! It was an excellent trip--Thanks so much to our parents for making it possible to leave the boys and dog for a week. We came back recharged and tan!
