The Fun of the Holidays

Over the past month I have been collecting pictures that I need to post. I have completely missed Halloween, Lucy's Birthday, our first snow day, and Christmas fun, and a very special announcement. Enjoy some new pics below.


This picture is just to remind me that my kids DO love eachother and can get along!
My little ladybug staring at all her candy - she's never seen so much in her life! Our policy with Halloween is...2-3 pieces of candy can be eaten Halloween night, we throw away the taffys that can ruin their teeth, and about a week later they forget they ever had candy (I know it won't last though)!

Elias as a Knight in Shinning Armor ready to fight off the dragon and find his damsel in distress.

Halloween night we celebrate with our dear friends the Ashbys - oh how we love this family! We ate homemade chili, rootbeer (the kids loved watching the dry ice steam up the house), and homemade donuts. It was a night to never forget!


Lucy's 2nd year birthday - we celebrated as a family at the Mayan Restaurant. Great entertainment, OK food (can I say that?)


"Do I really get to eat this entire cupcake all by myself"


First snow day! There wasn't much snow, but the kids loved it!


Just put up the Christmas Tree and decorations.


If you can read their shirts, you're right...........we're expecting our third in May! I made these shirts to announce to our families the good news. Our ultrasound is scheduled for Christmas Eve - what a great present this will be. Eli is sure it's a boy, but when I ask Lucy, "Is the baby going to be a boy or girl," she says, "a girl." But when I ask, "Is the baby goign to be a girl or boy," she says, "a boy." Can't rely on her inspiration just yet!

Just in case this isn't readable, Eli's shirt says, "I'm going to be a big brother, again." And Lucy's says, "I'm going to be a big sister."

  3. Congratulations!!! I can't wait for the day when Tyler & I can have a new baby in our family. Whenever my youngest one starts walking & potty-training, I always start to get baby-hungry! :) That's such a cute idea to break the news w/ those shirts for the kiddos. :)

  5. Cute, cute, cute! I couldn't be more excited, even though I am an almost entirely absent "aunt." The more Steve and Julie Nelsons there are in the world, the better.

  6. Yippee! Congrats on your soon-to-be new addition! I had no idea when I saw you at the Christmas Oranges concert. How do you always look so amazing throughout and after all your pregnancies? You are just beautiful! Can't wait to hear what you're having!

  7. Hey! I have to tell you how very impressed I am with your CD. Thanks for giving me one I feel truly honored. You sound incredible as does Steve and I love the song choices. It is really something Julie.
    Thanks again for making the effort to come and see us while we were in Utah. It was GREAT to see your fam!

  8. I like the Knight in Shining Armor costume! Up until this year, we had the same policy about the candy.
