camden's kindergarten christmas party.

I got to hang out with this cutie on December 19th at his class party!

callynn hugs.

I sure love these kinds of hugs!

santa babies.

This was quite the year for the Talty family and Santa! Our usual socialite, 1 year old was terrified! And our ornery 3 year old took part in a time of confession…kind of ;)  Santa was hopeful that they all 4 had been pretty good this year!

santa's reindeer.

We got to enjoy a fun new experience this Christmas season!  We were able to visit Santa's reindeer!  Such a fun time!

after bath snuggles.

These are some of the moments that my heart feels so full it could explode!

pre-k helper.

Case did a great job as the calendar helper when I was there as the snack helper! We also got to watch them practice for their Christmas program! A fun morning! 12-10-14

This was the fun snack we made for Case's class!

shopping buddy.

While the big kids were at school and Case was at pre-k in the mornings, Callynn and I could get so much done! She is such a fun grocery buddy! She loves Aldi just like Mommy ;)

working hard.

We love how Callynn lays her head down to "work"!

hot chocolate.

And of course after every fun snow play, hot chocolate must follow! Old news to the big kids, but Callynn sure thought it was fantastic down to the last drop!

small snowfall.

We just got a dusting on December 8th but the kids were ready to dive in! They did a little bit of clean up, a little bit of playing and a little bit of helping a neighbor :)  The big kids had a blast, Callynn wasn't completely convinced of the fun!

sweet sisters.

I love that even though I'm typing this roughly six months late, these girls are still doing this!  Callynn sure loves this sweet big sister and Cole sure treasures this sweet baby sister!

sharp kiddos.

I love these hams!  Forgive the lack of quality of these pictures.  Gotta love this cute crew after Saturday night church!

the sound of music.

We enjoyed watching parts of the Sound of Music when it was on…Callynn enjoyed dancing to it!  Oh and Callynn loves her babies :)

chippy the elf.

Chippy the elf came to visit us again this year. Case missed the memo tho on not being able to touch him or he'd get sick, so sure enough on December 6th, we found Chippy down and out! Callynn seemed concerned :)

proud papa.

If even for a few moments, he'll take it!  This little one is quite the snuggler…especially in the morning!

it's a date.

Most Friday mornings, you can find Daddy and Cole hanging out for breakfast before school.  Fridays are Daddy/Cole date mornings!  Whether it's at a diner or donuts from the market taken to the park, sounds like fun huh?!  A special time for a special girl!

frozen.

These two couldn't wait to see Frozen! What a fun movie!

deck the halls.

On December 2nd, we got started decking our halls. It was fun having everyone's hands involved.

loll loll lollipop.
