Christmas and grandma/grandpa time

Well, I'm tired. So I'm just gonna slap some pictures up! We decorated for Christmas without taking too many pictures....and Grandma Rachel and Grandpa Fred were here visiting. The kids had so much fun making cookies, stollen, playing, reading and doing our every day things. Thanks so much for the visit!!

Stockings hung by the chimney with care.

Stolen moments...

The sign from Maggie's school.

Already feels like a hollywood star...I don't even use flash! 

And then I went and did this....matching CHRISTMAS pj's. I mean, seriously, it's cuteness on crack!

The 4 kid pile up!

The girls also got to go shopping with Grandma and Grandpa for these fancy dresses, shoes, and outfits for Torsten and Zoe too. We'll definitely haves some more pictures of these ensembles soon!

Zoe Lillian Hinz

Baby is a GIRL! Zoe Lillian made her debut on November 25th pretty much on her own without much pushing. Then we had a little bit of a stay in the hospital in the NICU due to some low blood sugars and unstable oxygen levels. We're home now though and settling in well! The kids are all adoring her on a minutely basis! :)

Let the photofest commence!

Thanksgiving was spent in the hospital, but we're so very thankful for each other and to some lovely neighbors for bringing us all the fixings for dinner!

She has been such a smiley baby at this young of age! Guess she's pretty happy to be here!

The 3 sisters, I think the big girls are more than a little excited for another girl...

And I think he was made to have sisters!
