Happy Birthday Drake!!!

Drake's 10th birthday

I can't believe he is 10 years old!?!?!  WOW.  Slow down time!!

Drake is such a wonderful boy, er, young man.  He is thoughtful, considerate, super smart, handsome, a great big brother, and a blessing to our lives.  I know he is going to do big things in his life.

We are so proud of you Drake and love you SO much!!

The Guthries are getting ready for Christmas!

We're in Minocqua, WI for the Thanksgiving holiday, and our annual tradition is to visit Santa Claus at the local Ace Hardware store.  They make it a wonderful experience for everyone...gifts for the kids, horse drawn sleigh rides, and refreshments with yummy pastries!
This was the first year we were able to get all three kids to sit with Santa, without Mom & Dad.  The girls have been a little intimidated of Santa in years past, but not this year!  Kirsten and Alexa brought a hand written Christmas lists and Kirsten read hers to Santa.
This is going to be a fabulous Christmas season, I can just feel it.  Happy Birthday Jesus!

Kirsten's 6th Birthday

Kirsten celebrated her 6th birthday at Build-a-Bear Workshop at our local mall.  This was the first time our girls have been to this store, and it was the first time for some other friends, too.  It was a fun-time for everyone!!  Our lead team member, Silvia, was wonderful with all 12 girls.  So much fun was had by all!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year!  My Mom sent us a care package with some fun decorations, so the family was inspired to continue making the house frightfully fun.  Each of the kids decorated their rooms, check out what they did below!
