Christmas Eve

Our Nativity enactment. E as an angel, J as a Shepherd, K as Mary, Nathan ended up being Joseph and the donkey. H and I were wise men.

Little H really only wanted to be the nurse and kept taking the baby.

Here are the kids in the new PJ's. I attempted to make them this year. I only have to make a couple of adjustments. I think they turned out fun. Nathan and I also have PJ pants that I made.

We put the kids to bed around 8 and then stayed up to set a few things up for the morning. We ended up getting a new flat screen and a wii. Nathan also had to put together a new entertainment center. It was a long night, but it was fun to have everything set up.

Family Pictures

We had an impromptu photo session with our kids. Here are some of the shots we got. It was really hard to convince a one year old to hold still.
We almost got a good one.

Here is another try if K hadn't pouted. She wasn't very happy that I didn't let her wear a skirt.

H found her belly button. This was a great one, but when I enlarged it J has his lip pulled in.

This is my favorite! It really shows who rules the roost in our home.

This is the one we ended up going with. We got all of the faces! What cute kids.

Sleepy?

I had to go to the dentist on Wednesday morning. So I had my friend came over to watch the little girls while I was gone. This is how I found H when I got home.

Apparently she had cried until the last 15 minutes and then fell asleep on the stair. She then fell down and used the stair as her pillow. She was a little disoriented when she woke up!

First Snowman

We had a little snow fall this week. The kids went out after school and built a snowman. It is really small, but it works. They also built one for our neighbor. I think that hers was slightly larger than the one in our back yard. They were soaking wet and cold, but had fun!

Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving this year. My sister and brother came with their families from Indiana. We had 6 adults and 10 kids in our house. The kids had so much fun with their cousins. The food was excellent. Nathan did a great job on the Turkey and Stuffing and all the sides ended up yummy. I tried a couple new recipes this year and they were good!
Here is a picture of the guys after playing football. Jordan ended up with a riped shirt, Nathan with a riped pocket, and they were all VERY muddy. They had fun though.

Here are 9 out of the 10 cousins. E was the oldest at 8. It was complete craziness, which is always fun.

We got up early on Friday and headed to the stores. My sister Carrie held down the fort while the rest of us tried to get some great deals. We ended up getting most of what we wanted. All the big items we wanted we were able to get. Now we just have to wait for Christmas!

Fall in PA or What we have doing lately.

Soccer is finally over, and so is our Primary Program, so I feel like I can breath a little better. We spent last week being sick, but we were still able to do a few things! Here are some photos from last week! Enjoy!
