Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!

We are off to Florida to celebrate Christmas with Nathan's family, where all 8 siblings will be there. I'm driving the children down tomorrow (12 hours) and Nathan will take the train down on the 23rd. Then we'll all drive home together on the 28th. We are excited to see everyone.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and get to relax and enjoy the holidays.

Kid business

In November we enjoyed a wonderful weekend with Nathan's sister and then Thanksgiving weekend with my sister. We love having company, especially these fun aunts and uncle. Since then we haven't been too busy, just the usual kid fun and games going on.

Kylie and Madalyn showing their elbow trick and asking if I can do this. No, I cannot. Can you?

Decorating pumpkin chocolate chip brownies for FHE treats. I got the recipe from nestle.com and they were delicious!

Crazy girls! They love these ridiculous, but fun outfits.

Carolers!
The kids love to go around the house, knocking on doors and caroling. Or just standing in the living room and singing their hearts out. This year Thomas is happy to join in and actually knows a lot of songs.

More carolers, these ones outside our dining room window.

Thomas enjoying a cupcake leftover from when I had the Activity Day girls at my house.

Lexi moving into the girls' room. We had a moving day last week where we moved Thomas into a toddler bed and moved Alexis into Kylie and Madalyn's room, where we put up bunkbeds to make room for her.

Spencer and Thomas helping to take the crib down. Now they have lots of room in their room--at least for a few months.

Madalyn, Spencer, and Kylie at their "School of Song" choir concert. They did great and loved their class this semester.

Playing doctor the other day. Spencer and Alexis had head infections that required surgery and bandages. I'm not sure what the halos were for. :)
