We love Elmo and a few more Christmas pictures

Elmo was a hit, I couldn’t get him out of the box fast enough.  Brenna kept blowing him kisses and he has been fed and gets lots of sips of milk and lots of hugs.

 

Bathtime is more fun with new bath toys. 

Brenna with Uncle Bill

Look at those eyes….you think he might like it?

New dishes!

Sometimes I think I need a drink when cleaning too!

Exploring the new kitchen!

Loving the new zebra!

Want to take a guess what will happen next?

Okay……and NEXT?

Someone doesn’t want to share the zebra….or have it stolen away!

   

MWAHHHHH!!!!!   A few kisses for sharing later that night!    

Still busy! Two more days until Christmas

I’m scrubbing like you wouldn’t believe it.  I keep the house pretty clean year round, but around every holiday when everyone trickles to our house, I do my “deep” cleaning…which usually includes a bit of reorganization.  Anyway, I have been slacking on the blog and busy cleaning, baking, wrapping, and everything else we do at this time of year.

Last Saturday we went to my family’s Christmas party at my cousin Rex’s.  It was nice, all the kids are getting so big and for the most part having fun together.  They bought my uncle a Santa suit and he wore it and delivered the presents.  I told Braeden, he is six and didn’t want him to think we were pulling something over on him.  He knows the real Santa is busy up at the North Pole and the ones here at the stores are all his helpers.

It was so cute, Rex yelled, I saw reindeer and all the kids ran to the window and my uncle rang his jingle bells and came in with a big bag of toys…lots of fun!

Fourth try is the charm!  Brenna’s first Santa pic this year when she didn’t scream and run!

SHARING!!!!

Making cookies

Hmmmm…..look at this snowman’s anatomy

The kids playing dress up

Two more parties to go!!!!

Anyone have any ideas...pretty please

I have decided that I no longer want to have our name in the title of the blog, it was making it a bit more searchable and in this day and age I really don't want that. Anyway....any suggestions would be perfect, if I have to resort to Braeden's suggestion he will name it after something Club Penguin or Webkinz. A few pics below...just to add a bit more color A Christmas card reject And I needed to get a pic of all three for a picture frame...not the best, but with two that won't stay still, its the best I could get.

Busy, Busy! I’ve been slacking! A week in pictures

Things have been so busy I barely have time to breathe, its that time of the year.  Here are a few (okay few dozen) pics of what we have been up to the past 10 days.

Snow day….they won’t keep their gloves on…any suggestions!

I don’t like snow!

  Welcome to my snow fort!

A ride from Braeden

 Inside and Cheesing it up

Who needs at trip to go see Santa, he is everywhere we go, we have sighted him at the Tree Farm, the university, and he is supposed to be at our Multiples Party, and at Braeden’s Religious Education concert next week.  Maybe Brenna will like him better by the time we get to the 4th visit.  So far Liam has tried to steal one Santa's candy canes and the other ones jingle bells.

Not a lot of cooperation going on...needless to say this won't be going on any Christmas cards!

 

 

Another not so great family pic!  Gotta love this age!

Some messier moments

A gingerbread house

And a trip to the bounce place
