Christmas came to our house!

Christmas morning the kids got up just before 7. I realized later that I didn't take very many pictures. But here is what I got. The lighting was bad and I didn't take the time to do an editing, but they are on the blog!
They are so excited! All three kids got sunglasses in their stockings. Jake and Emma were thrilled with the sunglasses, Austin wasn't so much. He was hoping Santa brought him some trains!






Austin didn't want to open the present that was clearly a book. I finally talked him into in and he was so excited! Santa brought him a Polar Express book. Austin loves trains and love the Polar Express movie!



Santa brought Jake a scooter.




I gave Aaron a picture of the kids for his office.





Emma loves baby dolls. I thought this doll looked a lot like her- blue eyes and blond hair.



Around 2 we went over to Caldwell to be with Aaron's family. We had prime rib, baked potatoes, salad, homemade rolls, and corn. It was delicious! I think the prime rib is Aaron's favorite part of Christmas.






Jake and his cousin, Kjari. They had such a fun time together. I just thought this picture was so cute. (Notice only the roll on Jake's plate- all he had for dinner was 6 rolls! I have such picky eaters!)










Merry Christmas from the Seables

Christmas Craft

I saw this cute idea online and had to give it a try. It turned out so cute! We gave this to Aaron's parents for Christmas.



Attempts

After church one Sunday the first of December I tried to get a good picture to use for our Christmas card. I was not successful at all. Jake was trying to take his shirt off and make it into a cap and Austin wouldn't leave Emma alone. Emma has started pointing her finger at Austin and telling him to go to his room.



I almost used this one, but Jake is being a stinker. He was mad about his shirt.



You've Got A Friend in Me!


Uncle Brian

My kids love their Uncle Brian. I just love these pictures from our trip to Utah.

Thanksgiving in Utah

We went down to Utah for Thanksgiving and had the best time with my family. Sadly I didn't get a picture of us all at Thanksgiving dinner. But here are some pictures from the day. My parents came up from Texas and we all stayed in my grandparents old house, which my parents now own. It was a really crowded house, but it was so great to spend time together.

Brian's future Brother-in-law Sam and his family just moved from Spain to Utah. They joined us from Thanksgiving. It was so great to meet some of Noemi's family and spend some time with them. Sam and Isabelle have a daughter named Emma also, who is only 6 months old than our Emma.
Emma Seable and Emma Lopez- They both love baby dolls.



Jake loves to make silly faces for all my pictures. I am sure he gets this from his Grandpa Pickup.




I love Uncle Dewey and Emma in this picture- so cute!


Corn Maze

We took the kids to a corn maze back in October and had a good time. My camera battery died after just a few pictures. (My camera battery lasts such a long time, sometimes I just forget it has to be charged.) The kids loved riding the cow train. Austin loves any that has to do with trains.


What a happy boy!







The kids loved walking through the maze and I am sure we will make it back next year.

Ward Fall Party

We had a great Fall party in our ward back in October. The kids had such a great time.
Jake loved eating a doughnut without his hands.

Austin decided it was too hard to eat the doughnut from the string. This boy loves his sweets!


Bobbing for apples



Miss Emma loves apples

Austin and his little friend McKenna. They are in Sunbeams together.


Jake and his best friend Brock!



Emma- I just the look on her face in this picture. So sweet!

Turning 30!

Aaron took me out to dinner for my birthday to the Brick 29 Bistro here in Nampa. The food was delicious and we had such a great time. For my birthday Aaron asked our family and friends to write me letters. Then he printed them all off on nice paper and included some pictures and put in a cute little box. It was the sweetest thing and so thoughtful. He totally surprised me! And the letters were so sweet and just made me feel so loved. I really have been blessed with wonderful friends and family. I wasn't very excited about turning thirty, but I guess it won't be too bad.

Halloween

I know it is January, but I am trying to catch up on my blog.

Emma was the cutest little lady bug for Halloween. I didn't think that she would keep her hood on, but she didn't even try to take it off.



Jake had to be Iron Man for Halloween. He has never even seen the movie, but loves Iron Man. And of course Austin wanted to be Iron Man just like his brother.
