Trying to tag mommy with the snow balls!

icicles!

Pure happiness!

Such determination in that throw!

Adorable!

And Ethan is safe with his sisters. Or is he?!!

Bella enjoyed eating all the ice.

Sweet Em!

"Look Mommy!"

"Look at mine, too!"

The Finale: Santa!

Santa some how made his way to our new house. The girls were worried. They were also excited that we had a chimney that worked so mommy didn't have to leave the front door open like last year. I think it's safe to say that the Kiel Kids were very good this year. Apparently, I'm not very good at wiping off fingerprints! The TV is now spotless, thank you very much.

This was left for us when we woke up Christmas morning. Our magical elf friends, Jenna and Ashlyn, left a sweet note on their last night with us. Santa left one as well. And can you believe that Santa forgot to drink his milk. He must have been too busy leaving presents for us!

Allie B. is super excited about something. I'm sure it is a princess something!

Bella trying to get her bone from her stocking. We didn't hear from her for hours.....

Lots of personality in this picture. Ethan is really interested in finding out why there was an orange in my stocking. And Emily? Well, she's just being Emily.

Allison is thrilled with her PURPLE, TINKERBELL nightgown!

Gia and Pa braved the weather and came over for Christmas morning. Ethan in his new Nike gear from daddy.

We had a (somewhat) white Christmas. I think it's a first for me. After gifts, the girls and Mark went sledding in our back yard. They had fun and enjoyed some hot chocolate when they were done.

Daddy and his princesses!

Nana and Papa came over to see what Santa brought the kids. E and E showing Nana the new race track.

Ethan loves watching the 3 cars race down the slides.

Christmas #2

After church on Christmas Eve we went to Nana and Papa's for dinner and gifts. As usual, the kids got too much but we are so thankful for our families who love us. Enjoy the pictures!

Emily getting started. Can you even see her with all the gifts?!

Allison getting started....she's so gentle!

and Ethan. Look at his face. Priceless.

Ethan loves his new "tractor" from Aunt Karen and Uncle Ted.

"Look Mommy, BOOTS!!!" She's only been asking for these for forever!

and here's my mini-me! We love to wear our purple robes together.

Our future golfer??! Aunt Mary Ann and Uncle Hamilton got this when I found out I was having a boy. They have had it hidden until just the right time. It came with a golf club and ball, too. He loves it!
