It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around our house. Here are a few things we have been up to this month while enjoying the holiday season! My sweet little Baby Luka's First Christmas! So glad he's apart of our family.
Taking a Family Vacation to Knotts Berry Farm for an early Christmas Present
The girls trying on and modeling their Christmas Dresses. They'd wear them everyday if I let them. I just love their style...especially Sofia's white shoes!
Took the girls to the mall to see Santa! They enjoyed playing at the play area while Hartman and I took turns shopping.

Decorating the Tree!

It's a tradition to each get an ornament for the year that represents them! Hartman usually gets a fire fighter ornament each year in hopes to have enough to have a fire fighter tree one year!

Halloween Fun!

We have had so much fun this Halloween from school parties, trunk or treat, school carnivals, trick or treating, and Halloween parties. Needless to say we have a lot of photos to share. The biggest excitement was having Luka's First Halloween with us. He was only 12 days old on Halloween and made such a cute little bug! We also had Grandma Stosich, Grandma Anne, my sister Ashley and her two little boys Ashton & Baron from Georgia with us during this fun and busy time of the year! Happy Halloweeny!!!

Bozarth School County Fair

The biggest excitement of the night was that the girls won 4 goldfish. Isabella & Ava both won 1 each and Sofia won 2 fish. They were so thrilled and lucky for us we got to bring them home :)
