Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays from the Matthias Fam!

(Yes, again this year I purchased Christmas cards but did not send them.....maybe next year. ;)

Happy 4th Birthday, Beautiful Princess!

Macy is 4 on Tuesday! She let me snap a few pictures of her today. She is definitely 4 going on 17! :)

A few family pics on Sunday after church....

Cute Homans

Heidi and I had a photo shoot with her kids. I'd say I have some pretty cute nieces and nephew!

Future XC Runners

Just like their dad, aunts, & uncles (definitely not their mom!)

Happy Haircut

Before

After

He was NOT a happy camper, but it was long overdue! Doesn't he look handsome!

Busy Month!

Macy and her accessories. Rings, bracelets, headbands....such a girly girl!

Cousins! The kids love it when Amber and Hailey come over! Cute bunch!

The traditional first day of school pictures. Although it's going to be hard to remember what that was since they don't have their back packs on! Back-to-school night the evening before school changes everything! Curren is in his LAST year of elementary (5th) and Kyler is in 1st!

Kyler turned SEVEN! Good-lookin' new bike for a good-lookin dude!

BEAUTIFUL TRIM!!! And it's mostly done! It's perfect and exceeds all our expectations! Thanks for taking our vision and running with it, Dad!!

Our beautiful master bath! His-and-hers custom vanities and beautiful tile work! (I think it's time to upgrade the bedding, considering we've used the same comforter for the past 12 years! Yikes!) I look around and still can't believe this is our home! And the best news of all is that we finally have been given the go-ahead to close on our final mortgage! The appraiser gave us the go-ahead (he has to say it's all done)...FINALLY! And what a relief!! It's definitely been a long haul!

Cute kids + awesome new camera = amazing pics!

Typical Kyler pose Curren is getting SO grown up. He loves the pond.

Seriously, I think he has about 4 different colors in his eyes. Ah, I love my Baby Handsome...

What, they are all smiling at the camera??? They even look like they like each other!!

She definitely has "man hands." Poor girl....

She is just gorgeous (I know I'm biased). I'm so glad she has so many brothers to keep an eye on her!

Self Portrait! Definitely still learning how to use the new camera. Manual focus is tough but I"m trying to figure it out! (and yes, that pink is truly the color of Macy's walls....)

Our BEAUTIFUL trim! Homemade (thanks DAD) so it's truly original! This will go on the sides of the doors! Can't wait for installation!
