Happy New Year's Eve!

As we end 2010, it has been an amazing year for the Bettorf family, especially in almost doubling our headcount. We are so blessed and can't wait to see these little ones grow in 2011.

We recently found that if we turn on the faucet during bathtime they both try to eat the water.

Hadley enjoying the water.

Tayler now doing the same thing.
We celebrated New Year's Eve at home this year. Papi, Mimi & Aunt Bear joined us and we watched the Gamecocks bowl game. Fun was had by all but we really wish we could have had a win instead.

Daddy and Jayden enjoy some food.

At 11:00, we celebrated midnight and the New Year. We decided that we were just celebrating in our old eastern time zone but really we were all just ready for bed. This was the first year that we let Jayden bang on pots and he didn't really get the point. He kept saying lets bang on pots so we can wake people up. Ha! Ha!


Papi being silly.

Paw Paw and Memaw's Christmas

Today was our final Christmas celebration at Memaw and Paw Paw's. We took the kids over early to enjoy some of the snow we got on Christmas Eve. It was the babies first time in the snow even though it was only for a few minutes.


He tried holding them both but then exclaimed, "Get these babies off me!"

So Daddy held them both instead.

Our adorable snow bunnies.
Jayden and cousin Jacob stayed out a lot longer.


Sledding down the hill!
Then it was time to start the festivities inside.


Tayler tearing into presents.

Hadley has one too!
What is it Sissy?

A baby for our baby!
Too much Christmas fun! Note: the binkie in the hand...that's how you can judge how tired she was.
Daddy decided to be funny and put some whipped cream on Hadley's head.


Obviously she didn't seem to mind.


Jayden and Jacob received a new game...Operation. Aunt Ashley played with them. Notice that Jacob is covering the light/buzzer as Jayden removes a part. In another words, you are doing good Jayden. Just ignore this buzzer saying otherwise. Ha! Ha!

Bettorf Christmas 2010

Santa came to our house!!!


Tayler enjoying a new toy!




Hadley in her new chair from Santa.
I think they are trying to figure out what is going on in our house.


A helmet for his new bicycle.

Posing!






Then we headed over to Memaw and Paw Paw's for the Bettorf side family Christmas.

Aunt Ashley and Tayler.


Musicians maybe?

Tayler is so close to crawling, which Mommy and Daddy are not promoting as of yet.


Kisses...or just sucking on her head?


Cousin Reese showing Tayler how its done.


Jayden must have been a good boy this year as he received everything that he asked for. Here is his new boat. We can't wait for it to get warmer so we can take it over to the lake and try it out.


Hadley with some new toys.

Cousin Trent holding Tayler.



Aunt Ashley immitating Jacob. In his defense, it was a long and exhausting Christmas for Aunt Kristin too!
Momma and her babies!


Next we went over to Papi an Mimi's for the Giebe Christmas.
Jayden got a full Gamecock uniform. Here he is posing in his helmet and of course showing off his "guns" as well.

Tayler in the much needed "Pop a Tot"
