Thanksgiving

This year we went to Jason's sister's house for Thanksgiving. All the food was amazing! It always is at their house. It was nice getting all the cousins together, too. We had to take three pictures before George would cooperate, though. He really keeps us entertained!

George was thinking, "Again?!"

Finally a good smile from everyone!

Those seven olives really pushed Elsa over the limit!

Great Uncle Danny

Great uncle Danny came up from Missouri to meet the newest member of the family. The girls always love seeing him, as do Jason and I. Unfortunately, Judi wasn't able to make the trip this time so she will have to wait a bit longer to meet Thomas.

The Schoenbeck kids.

Smiling at Uncle Danny.

Or maybe just staring!

Checking each other out.

Inga's Lips

Inga recently had her lips done. After months of begging, we finally gave in to letting her get a little silicone injection!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The whole family joined Inga and her classroom for "We Are Thankful" Day. Inga and Elsa each made turkey cookies with Daddy's and Mommy's help. The girls were the lucky ones who got to eat them, though! We all had a lot of fun going to preschool for the morning!

The girls with their finished products.

Elsa ate hers piece by piece.

A happy Inga.

Thomas slept the whole time.

One Month

It's hard to believe that Thomas is already a month old! Take a look at how much he's grown.

Big blue eyes.

Inga trying to quiet him.

Proud big sister, Elsa.

Hey there!

Daddy and Thomas.

Our Little Sleeper

Thomas looks so sweet when he's sleeping!


Elsa's Foofa Hat

Elsa found Inga's Foofa hat from last year and is glad to be wearing this hand-me-down! Foofa, for those of you who don't know, is a character from Elsa's favorite show "Yo Gabba Gabba."



Trick or Treat

This year for Halloween the girls went out with Jason while I stayed home with Thomas. Thomas had a good time sleeping while his sisters went around the neighborhood collecting candy.

Inga as a Princess Unicorn...yes, it's the same costume as last year but it's what she wanted!

The trick or treaters all ready to go!

Elsa as a mouse. She wouldn't let us put her hood up while we were in the house.

Trick or treat!

Inga's 4th Birthday

It's hard to believe that Inga is 4 already! Time has flown by! We are so proud of the little girl she has become. She makes us laugh every day and amazes us with all the things she is learning. She is such a good big sister to Elsa and Thomas and has really become a great helper around the house. This year we celebrated her birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. It was great to play there with all her friends. She had so much fun and can't wait for her birthday next year!

Her cake.

Elsa was mad because she wanted the cake NOW! Once she finally got a piece, all she ate was the frosting...of course!

The birthday girl!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin carving was a success this year. Jason did a great job cleaning out the pumpkins and carving them while the kids and I watched.

We Love Thomas!

It's been busy at our house since bringing Thomas home so I'm catching up on all our pictures we've been taking. We are enjoying every new day with Thomas. He certainly grabs everyone's attention!

Big yawn!

Hey cutie!

Trying so hard to stay awake.

Big sisters.

Sleepy boy.

Thomas

Thomas' first bath. He wasn't too happy about it!

Ready to go home from the hospital.

He can't wait!

Thomas Jason Schoenbeck

Jason and I are now the proud parents of three beautiful children! I went in on October 14th to be induced. After a relatively long day, we heard Dr. Pickering announce, "It's a boy!" It was so exciting to finally meet little Thomas! He has been a great little baby and the girls absolutely adore him. We can't wait for him to meet you all. Stop by for a visit when you can!
