Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Crossons!! Here is the first picture with Santa...believe it or not only Aubrey cried! Spencer looked very cautiously at Santa, but never cried! They didn't smile for the picture but they didn't cry either...so a successful trip I think! Enjoy your holidays!! We love you all!

My birthday and the hayride

Here is the birthday cake that Julie, Dean's sister, made for me. Dean baked the cake and Julie decorated it. She makes the BEST frosting and is one of the most talented decorators I know. Spencer is holding my card from Dean's family....it was cute...and I really could use a time out too...although I'll take mine without the drink or it will just turn into a nap! Spencer wanted to feed himself, so Dean gave him the spoon and he did a pretty good job of getting it to his mouth! I was impressed!He didn't want to wait for his Dad to reload the spoon though...This is Dean with his niece Brittany. We got to spend some time with her and her sister Bethany and loved every minute of it! Bethany is the one standing and then Aubrey and Spencer are on the floor. Dean's mom's house looked like a tornado hit, but they had fun playing with their cousins! Another view of the cousins playing on the floor...I have been pulling Aubrey's hair up in pony tails lately! She looks so cute with her hair up! It is getting so long on top and gets in her eyes, but I don't want to cut it yet, so this works! Our church had a hayride through the Keizer lights, so we took the kids with us too. (Keizer has a neighbor hood that goes all out with the Christmas lights and most of the houses are all lit up.) It was a lot of fun to ride through looking at the lights from the back of a trailer! We took our two and Dean's two nieces and had such a great time! The babies did great, even though it was literally freezing out! We had blankets and snuggled up close! This is Dean's mom Cheryl, his sister Julie who is holding Bethany, and me with Aubrey. Me and my little girl enjoying the lights!
Dean with Spencer having fun too!

Hello!

It has been a while since I have updated...sorry about that! These are some pictures from November and the day after Thanksgiving...better late than never! The first one is of Aubrey after an incredibly messy diaper that required a total stripping, so Dean put a blanket around her and wrapped it like a towel...too cute! They love to eat whatever we eat, so Mom fed them some of the soup she made...they LOVED it!! Good eaters!! He also LOVED the pumpkin pie for dessert! :) He just woke up from a nap that he really didn't think he needed, but we knew better! He woke up much happier and hungry for some pie!Here is Dean with Italy and Aubrey. Beautiful girls!!My sister Theresa with the kids. She was able to visit from Arizona for Thanksgiving...it was great to see her and spend some time with her! Dad and Spencer...you can really see the Krueger in him when they are together!
Amya and Aubrey with one of their barrettes in her hair....it didn't stay long though.
The big girls helping Aubrey walk....she would let them do anything as long as they were giving her attention! She loves her cousins
