Merry Christmas!

I know I am a bit over due but I miss placed my cord to download pics - and have finally found it and am hopefully going to get you all caught up on the holiday fun! My sis-in-law was asking my Christmas pics - so Jules here you go! Better late than never!

Tovi was so excited to open stockings! :)

Kids woke up around 7am and were ready for Christmas morning!

Tovi sat in his new dog bed to supervise the unwrapping!

After playing with all our new stuff, it was time for making Christmas lunch. All the kids pitched in to help make the yummy feast!


We had a great day and then our Christmas day turned into Christmas Eve for our family Christmas. So stay tuned for more pics.

Santa has come!

Well, the house is all quiet and Santa has come to drop off presents.

Yummy cookies and milk all gone! Santa really appreciated Eli sharing his favorite caramels!
Presents around the tree!
Stockings are hung (well when filled they are too heavy but you get the point)!
I couldn't resist taking a close up of these great ornaments that I have been working hard on getting finished for the boys - they are one of the gifts I am most excited about - and I think they turned out great. I made each boy their own set and thx to my friend Shanna for helping me with the hats! Well, I am going to bed - Noah says that he will be waking me up at 0630! We will see!

Gingerbread House!

The boys and I have decorated a gingerbread house every year for the holidays. But last year the boys said they were tired of doing them, however this year Eli really wanted to decorate a house. So, luckily I found one left at the store and the boys and I decorated it for Christmas Eve.

Before . . . .
How many boys does it take to assemble a gingerbread house? Learning from past years, we assembled in stages, letting the house set in between.



The after . . . .


Lucas enjoying some candy, the house hasn't lasted too long - Noah has already started eating off the candy! We are going to spend the rest of our Christmas Eve watching Christmas movies. Have a good day!

Happy Birthday Colin!

On Monday, my youngest nephew turned 1yr old! The boys and I head up to celebrate with the family. My sis-in-law did a great job decorating, too cute!

Cousin play time!

Presents! Colin wasn't too interested in his presents (he LOVED the paper) but I did catch him enjoying this new toy!
Party hats on! Yummy cupcakes! Colin LOVED his cupcake - once he figured out what he had - he just shoved it in!



Victoria didn't want any cupcakes but she sure was wondering what all the fuss was about!
Trevor was excited to have cousins to race with on Cars 2.
I so love how the kids are with each other!
Colin loved crawling on Lucas and Lucas was happy to let him!
We had a busy week getting ready for our Christmas on the 30th and family Christmas on the 31st. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!

Music Programs

The boys have had several programs this month so I thought I would do one post for them all. Here are pics of Eli at his strings concert.

Lucas's 3rd grade music program the Nutcracker.


Lucas had a showcase for his violin, unfortunately the pics were slightly out of focus. But here is the best of them.
Noah at his band and jazz band concert.

Have a good week!

Trimming the tree

I took a few pics of the boys when we were decorating for Christmas.
