Some Random Pictures

So adorable!



Such a stud!


Indoor fun. (I guess pants are now optional for Lexie.)




Lexie decided to be a big girl and make her bed! You can tell it's made, right?



I made this pink and black Zebra for the little girl that loves horsies and everything pink. My mom found the pattern and some minky fabric that is oh so soft. After hours of sewing, cutting, and stuffing, what does the little she-devil say, "I don't like zebrazes, I want an elephant!" I couldn't even get her to hold it for a picture.



Lexie loved jumping from the couch to the ottoman and back at my folks' house. She would just fling herself across again and again for 30 minutes at a time.



The boys got new scooters and camouflage pants for Christmas and could not wait to try them out!



My parents got us a BluRay player for Christmas. Because you can not tell the difference between DVD and BluRay on an archaic TV, we had to buy a bigger flat screen. Apparently it is not kosher to have rabbit ears on said flat screen, we had to breakdown and buy DirecTV. Once we had a better TV experience it was noted that the threadbare couch was not going to cut it for viewing room, so we had to get a new couch (with ottoman for more flinging opportunities) so everyone could be comfy to hunker down and enjoy the rest of winter. (Thanks Bradley and Jessica for passing along the sofa cover!) My mom wanted a picture so here you go Mom!

Making Marshmallows

Lexie got a marshmallow kit for Christmas so we spent a cold Saturday afternoon indoors making marshmallows.


Extreme care was necessary to pour the water into the mix...note the tongue.



My little chef, such a pro the way he can stir!



Smooshing it out into the mold...note the tongue. I wonder where Collin gets it?


"I LOVE SPRINKLES!"





Such Sass!

Christmas Eve...a month later

We were at my parents house for Christmas this year. My mom has the hookup with Santa and is able to get him to take a few minutes out of his busy night to come visit and see how good the kids have been.

Here are some of the kids looking out the window anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival.

"If I don't look at him and pretend he is not there, will he still give me presents?"


"Man, Santa sure asks hard questions...Have I been good...let me think?"

"See Santa, I am a good girl, I have my fingernails painted."

Can Santa be put on the Naughty List?



The kids also re-enacted the Nativity. Here are a few shots.



The flying Angel refused to put down her new toy and had to be coaxed to say her lines.



Such adorable wisemen!!!
