Merry Christmas Love the Nelsons!

We finally took pictures for our Christmas card on Christmas Eve. Oops! We headed over to Southwestern University after dinner and I absolutely love how they turned out!


The kids had a great time running around while we got the camera set up. It was a little eerie being the only ones on campus, but it worked out great for our pictures. It's such a beautiful place and the weather was perfect!


I love having Aaron wear his rain boots for our pictures because he wears them just about any time we go somewhere that isn't church.

Hopefully, I'll be able to make and send off the cards quickly!

Never Say Never


A couple of months ago, we joined the white Honda Odyssey club. Even after Lucy was born, I was not going to drive a minivan. It took my parents renting one during their visit last "fall" (the calendar says fall but the weather says summer) and seeing how easily Aaron could get in and out by himself when he still needed help in our little sedan. That's when I finally decided a minivan would be better than an SUV. We got it especially now that Baby is on the way and there is no way the five of us can fit in a Corolla with 3 car seats. It is also nice now that Jonathan needs to be in the office. The world is once again our oyster! Aaron is obsessed with our Honda Odyssey. He watched a lot of videos of tours of various minivans and he is so happy that we have a Honda Odyssey.
