Emily-4 years old

Emily turned 4 on Jan. 5th. She is sweet, energetic, independent, loving, and silly. This little girl keeps me on my toes, but I love her so much. She loves playing with her siblings, and she is her Megan's sidekick. Emily loves playing anything with Megan and while they have their moments, they have such a sweet relationship. She is learning better how to play with Anna as it is just Emily and Anna while Megan is at school. She just absolutely adores her little brother. I can't put Timothy down on the ground without having her come right behind him to pick him up. She loves church and visiting with different ones before the services. She is my aggressive one in soccer and gives it her all in games. She loves giving us thumbs up during the games and is often exhausted after practices and games b/c she plays so hard. Purple is her favorite color. She loves riding her bike and scooter. She is just a fun little girl!

Here are a few pictures from her birthday and birthday party (which was the day after).

Happy Birthday Emily. She enjoyed donuts for breakfast!

A usual, she had to give lots of love to Timothy on his birthday.

Nana came over on her birthday.

Daddy's little boy

His shirt says it all. A year ago from this day, I found out I was pregnant with this sweet little one. It was the best Christmas gift I have ever received. Tears fill my eyes as I type this. God's ways are not always our ways, and I am so thankful for Sweet Timothy

Nana loves Timothy.

Timothy was helping Great-Grandma open her gifts!

Lots of attention....Anna enjoyed putting stickers on Timothy

A quick post on Christmas Eve/Christmas 2014

Dec. 24th- We got to hang out at my mom's house and make cinnamon rolls with the girls. My mom is so patient with the girls in letting them help. It is always a special time when we get to spend time with my mom.

Emily was very excited to help my mom.

Anna helping spread the butter

Timothy just hanging out in his chair.

Megan spreading out the brown sugar

My sweet girls and I. I love them so much

We had a Christmas Eve service that evening at our church that was a wonderful time. We came home that night, and they each opened up one present which was jammies for them to wear to bed that night!

My kiddos with their new jammies

Emily with her Hello Kitty jammies. She looks so happy in them, but her first reaction was sadness and crying as she wanted to have the same jammies as Anna which were Dora and purple (her favorite color). We took that opportunity to remind her to be thankful and not complain. Her attitude did change to thankfulness after a little pep talk.

Sweet Megan in her princess jammies

Anna in her Dora Jammies

Tim and Timothy- Timothy got some cute camouflage Santa jammies.

For Christmas,the girls opened their stockings in the morning.

Ready, Set, Go!

Timothy is just happy! Not sure where his stocking is....

They all got electric toothbrushes which was very exciting for them.

We went to my mom's house for brunch with my grandparents. The cinnamon rolls were AWESOME! Then, Tim and I took the girls to the zoo for a couple of hours(we still had our zoo passes and it was a nice day!). My mom kept Timothy with her. It was such a nice day at the zoo and not many people there on Christmas day!
