Last Sunday: Kait and Kenna wanted their pictures taken.
Monday: My mom and two sisters flew in.
Trish, who currently lives in China, hugs Kylie.
New Year's Eve party foods! Enchilada dip, 7 layer dip, quinoa chips, apple slices, carrots & celery, cheese and crackers, etc.
Doing a fun 1000 piece puzzle of Niagara Falls, a place we've all been!
Tuesday: New Year's Day party, Southern style with Hoppin' John, turnip greens, corn bread, and banana pudding.
All of Nathan's siblings came (who live here) and we had so much fun hanging out and playing interactive games like the Sign Game.
Wednesday: Talea playing Trouble by herself and being super cute.
Friday night: The oldest 5 kids went to a cousin's birthday party so I just had the little 5. I've had these alphabet cookies in my pantry forever so I thought it was the perfect time to get them out and play with them. We all spelled our names and then lined them up to see how many of each letter there were. There were hardly any B's, R's, and T's but the most D's, O's, S's and X's. They taste terrible so we didn't eat very many, but it was a fun little kid activity. It's so hard dividing my attention among 10 children so it's really nice to have opportunities to just have 5 once in awhile. We also had a fun, healthy dinner together, went to the library, then read on the couch for almost an hour before tuck-in time.
Kaitlyn spelled her name and took this picture.
Reading books after a library trip.
Saturday: The 5 littlest kids put on some sort of play. All I know is that they had fun. :)
Makenna was a ballerina.
Samuel was some sort of witch.
Kaitlyn was a birthday girl.
Anderson was a pirate.
The big kids came home from their cousins' in the afternoon and brought my mom and Lori with them. We made gingerbread houses because we never got to it during Christmas and it was an activity they wanted to do with Kylie.
I never know whose house was whose, but they take these pictures to remember them by. :)
