Wisconsin Dells!

 This is the life! The girls hanging out in the hot tub in our hotel room
 The crew enjoying supper together!
 I'm ready to go swimming!
 Best Buds Aubrey and Riley Dodge

Halloween through the end of the year

 Ready to trick or treat with Dad in Germantown!


 Aubrey is going hunting...I think that was the plan with this outfit!
 Fun new dress up clothes on clearance at Target!


 Morning snuggle time
 Down goes Catie...
 Mmm, Cheese Snack!! Catie's favorite snack in the whole world
 Sisters together at the doctors
 Our Thanksgiving turkeys from Grandma Bauer
 Wassup Cate!

 The girls made a resturant in the basement to take me out to dinner
 Lexie lost her first tooth!!
 Donut treats
 Catie rocked potty training! She gets pretty excited for her candy afterwards
 Aubrey had a strange obsession with Zorro for a few days
 Chocolate milk always tastes better with shorts on her head!
 At Home Depot getting a Christmas tree and some supplies for the basement
 Our tree didn't turn out too badly!
Lexie caught the flu...which would attack all of us except Catie

 Best Buds...most of the time anyways
 I found out that my phone takes panoramic pictures! All 6 Nelsons were under one roof for the first time in 9 years! Josh flew me out to surprise my family...none of which had any idea I would show up Saturday morning! It was so awesome to be together again!

 Bloody Marys after church at Slaters 50/50

 Catie loves to dress herself...over and over again!
 In as many layers as possible!


 Getting ready for Christmas pictures


 Lexie got to spend time with Grandma Bauer for a few days...they went to get their nails done.  Lexie's new favorite activity

This is what happens when Catie goes too fast without looking up...cracked her face on the wrought iron railings outside of school

 Great Grandma Bauer sent the girls some ornaments to make...Catie worked so hard!!


 Kinda blurry as it was dark...this would be one of the bucks that come to visit, bedded down by our pine tree!
 Happy Christmas Eve!!
Angry Birds!!
 Bauer/Gilmore Christmas


 Our basement is cleared out and ready for construction

 Catie got a pop-up tent for Christmas from her Godparents the Baileys! She loves hanging out in it!
 Allie and Bradley had a joint birthday party at Altius Gymnastics center
They all had a lot of fun using the equipment!
 This is Ava, Allie's best friend from school




 Lexie did great on the rings!


 Complete with cupcakes and ice cream!
 
Presents!
Allie and Ava
 I think Lexie likes them

 Let the framing begin! This will be the walk in closet for the bedroom
 And this will become the bathroom! Four daughters, I cannot wait to have a second shower!!
 I learned how to waterfall braid...something else I need to do with four daughters!

Happy New Years Eve!! 
We did fondue with steak, venison and scallops! It was a delicious way to end 2012!
