Christmas 2015

We packed up the car (dog and all) and headed home to Missouri for Christmas. Fun was had by all, except Hamilton when he met Santa. He was not having any of it. Norah however, asked politely for Barbies.

Hamilton didn't quite get the whole opening presents thing but I'm sure he'll be a pro next year.

Norah knew what to do and was very excited to start opening presents Xmas Eve.

Christmas morning was almost a success. Norah so badly wanted Barbies but didn't know that they were waiting for her at Grandma Tracy's. Until then she had to be okay with the goodies she got from Santa. 

Hamilton hanging out with daddy all happy in his new KC Royals baseball cap.

All I wanted was a cute pic of the kids in the their Xmas jammies. Is that so much to ask for?

 BARBIES! Christmas is complete now:)

Hamilton loving his new toy cars.

Okay, so they do corporate and smile for me from time to time:)

Merry Christmas from the Tracy's!

Halloween 2015

Halloween sure is getting fun around here! 

Norah so badly wanted to be Dorothy and wear her ruby slippers. I got her a basket for for her candy and everything, minus Toto.

Hamilton made the cutest little Lion. All we were missing was tin man and the scarecrow!

 My babes. 

Here's the whole crew. Norah and Hamilton with cousins Jane, Caroline and Eleanor. 

We only made it a few blocks but the girls were ready to come back to the house and revel in their splurges. We ate junk, drank butterbeer and watched old horror films while the kids crashed. I'd say this year was a success!

Happy Halloween!

Yearly Video's

What do you mama's do with the thousands of pictures you take of your kids??? No, I'm serious! So many video's and pictures are taken of our kids and as for me, they just sit on my phone/computer and do nothing. I'm not a scrapbooker, paper or digital. Recently I've been searching for some way to document my children's growth, milestones and cuteness. And then I was introduced to videography! Basically, I've compiled "the best of" of each year of Norah and Hamilton's life and put it to music. 

I went back in the archives and have retroactively documented the first three years of Norah's life and the first year for Hamilton. I had so much fun looking through old photo's and video's, now I'm kind of sad this project is over but the fun things is I'll get to make a new video for each kid just after they celebrate a birthday. I hope to keep this going until their 18th birthday and compile all video's on a disc. So please, sit back and enjoy!
