Warning...lots and lots of pictures!

In no particular order here are some pictures of our fun Christmas and holidays! We had such a wonderful time and are looking forward to summer vacation! already! Emree was soooo excited for her birthday! All day she kept singing the birthday song and dancing around. When it was time for presents she couldn't sit still. She loved her cake with strawberries and pink frosting, and she had fun trying to blow out her sparkler candles.

Here are a couple of pictures we took before church in front of the tree. I didn't get the girls Christmas dresses this year, Emree's still fit from last and Brooklyn got a hand me down from Riley! and they matched close enough. But I still didn't get pictures in them, these are just of some other sunday clothes, but they turned out cute!






A couple of posts I told you Brady always falls asleep on the hall floor, well one night Chas couldn't find him anywhere and was starting to get worried ( I was asleep on the couch) anyway he found him in the hall closet, he is so funny! It's kind of nice to know that your kids can fall asleep anywhere!





Whew!!! Opening present will wear you out!!! I love this picture of Emree and "Pops" both sleeping after we opened presents and had breakfast. (I think I have too many pictures of my kids sleeping, but they are so cute and peaceful when they are asleep!)


Brooklyn's birthday party at school, it was the same day I went to help out, so it worked out perfectly!



We so loved having Chas' parents with us for Christmas, the kids sure enjoy having them around, too bad they didn't live closer. Thanks for coming Vovo and Pops!!!






Here is our annual picture in front of the Christmas tree we picked out! It was weird not to have any snow while picking it out, but it has made up for it since then! WE have had a TON of snow!

Emree sleeping with books, I hope my kids keep up this love for reading!

LOVE this one of BRady, he looks so sharp! (I don't have one of Emree because she refused to go up and sit on his lap, oh well maybe next year!

And the last one for the day. My brother came up and stayed with the kids for the weekend while Chas and I went to tri-cities. He took the kids on the Santa train and they had a lot of fun! Thanks Ezra and Lindsey for watching the kids. It was nice to get all of our Christmas shopping done in 2 hours!!! And it was nice an relaxing to have a little break!
Anyway all in all we had such a wonderful holiday and loved spending the time with family and friends!

That is so funny about Brady sleeping in the closet too. I wonder why he doesn't just go to his bed. I didn't get a picture of Ginger with Santa this year. Kind of forgot about that.
Ginger likes books too. That's a cute pic of Emree sleeping with her books.

What made Chas look in the closet? Was it the place of last resort?

I'm so glad I finally found your blog! Your kids are so adorable. Christmas is much more fun when you have a bunch of excited kids to spend it with.

Brooklyn or Emree?

Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
