Breakfast with Santa

Every year we have breakfast with Santa at Eckert's Farm.

Every year, we add one more baby to the bunch!

M loves Face Painting

So much, that she's been practicing at home on herself!

The Gang

 The O Family

The E Family 

The T Family

And just for fun, here they are last year, 2012 rocking the ripped tights!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Our day was wonderful spent hanging with family. 

We have so much to be thankful for this year.

No pictures on Thanksgiving.

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera!

The only photo I took on Thanksgiving Day was at Walmart!

Bria scored big time on shopping!

Here's a few photos from my phone over the last few weeks.

Santa's Helpers 

all decked out in their Mizzou gear!

Me & the girls chose to stay home & not go to the last football game.

Christmas decorating was a higher priority on our list!

Go Tigers!

LOVE our white tree!

Our neighbors have a new Christmas addition this year.

The kids love it!

Buddy the Elf reappeared this year.

 Bria's high school football team made it to the state championship in St Louis.

Unfortunately, they didn't win but played a great game : (

Our house is still for sale, 6 months on the market! 

We're going to take it off & get a little break during the holidays & hopefully get a fresh start for the Spring market. 

Anybody out there that wants to buy it?????

Our goal was to have our house built & moved in by the time Harper starts kindergarten ( August ) but it's not looking like it will happen unless we have a huge blessing in a week!

You never know, I buried St. Joseph on Tuesday!

October Photo Dump

I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner. I'm barely caught up from October!

Enjoy the dump of photos...

Mizzou homecoming parade

Hippie Chicks!

Are you ready for some much belated Halloween photos?

I've been so absent minded lately, first misplacing my camera cord & then misplacing my camera.

So, I finally transferred & edited our Halloween photos.

The girls dressed up 3 different times.

Shakespeare's Pizza had a Halloween celebration on that Monday night when kids eat free.

Yum-O pizza

Mizzou Cheerleaders!

They dressed up at school although they didn't  "celebrate" or have a Halloween party.

Later that evening they got in their full hippie attire.

 Harper's teachers did face painting for the kids

Baby Bennett's 1st Halloween, another adopted kiddo!

The fam in our homemade tie dye shirts!

Peace Out!

The kids were hopped up on candy & didn't hold still long enough to get decent pictures.

O'well, they had a great time hanging out with their cousins & the weather was perfect!

Happy Halloween!

Patch Time

I absolutely love this time of year.

I love the smell of Fall, the colors of Fall, the pumpkin patch & most importantly, bringing Harper home during this season.

This year we made two visits to the patch.

Our first visit was with our cousins, followed by a slumber party at our house!

It was great having JuJu & Tori for the night.

Hay Ride

Love seeing them so happy!

I took  the kids by myself to the patch, pretty brave, right?

Since they behaved so well, we went to Steak N Shake ( FYI, kids eat free on weekends), ate dinner & had  milk shakes!

Neil joined us for dinner : )

Last weekend we visited a new patch, well, one we've never been to before.

Another great time with the girls at the pumpkin patch!

How cute is this farmhouse?

Love it!
