Santa

The children finally got to see Santa on Friday at the Christmas party at our church. They were pretty excited to get to talk to him, especially Andrew who kept changing his mind all evening as to what he was going to ask for. He wanted to make sure he asked for what he really wanted. He even tried to talk his brothers into asking for things he wanted. Smart kid!

Chocolate Dipping

It's a Loveland Family tradition to dip chocolates for Christmas. Our boys are the fifth generation to participate in the tradition. Although we aren't around to participate in the big event with the family we always try to do some on our own too. Ours are always a little different due to Andrew's allergies. Usually I make "Andrew safe" chocolate and we use chocolate molds. This year we put a new twist on it and used the chocolate fountain. We all enjoyed a fun evening of "chocolate dipping."

We're Still Alive!!

I know I haven't posted in forever-- it's always on my to-do list but never seems to get done. Don't give up on me, I will get my Halloween pictures posted before New Years (hopefully) just keep checking back. :)

Veteran's Day

Here are some Veteran's Day pictures of the babies. I was trying to be creative. Clearly I am not a photographer but they are kind of cute.

Thank you Veterans for all you do and have done. We love you Daddy and Grandpa D!!

Just Win Babies!

As if there weren't enough slide shows on here already, but I just had to add this one! At Derek's work it's a big thing to decorate your cubicle with paraphernalia from your favorite team. So I dressed the babies in some Raider outfits and took some pictures. Then with the help of Snapfish made a poster with a collage of these 30 pictures. It turned out really cool and added that last touch to his cubicle to make it "Raidery." It was also a big hit among his co-workers who think its one of the best paraphernalia things they have seen. We titled the poster "Just Win Babies" because its a Raider saying, only the original saying isn't plural. (Now if they could really just win!!)

We actually have a picture of each one of the kids wearing the black Raiders outfit sitting on this blanket-- somewhere!
