Christmas

For Christmas every year we spend Christmas Eve at Casey's Grandma's house, amd Christmas night we go over to his parents house. Lots of fun with family and good food. Our Christmas morning usually consists of getting up early, opening presents and having breakfast together. This year, Casey got held up at work because of bad weather, so he didn't get home until Christmas morning. He was sooo tired he couldn't wait up for the kids. So, when the kids got up, I had breakfast with them, and we waited for Daddy to wake up. We watched christmas movies and made treats. When they couldn't stand it anymore, we went in and woke up daddy. I was proud of them because they made it until almost 2pm. Then Casey got up and we opened presents. Then we got dressed and went to his parents house.

Hailey enjoying her new blocks, and some tasty cheerios. YUM!

Logan got watercolors, and couldn't wait to try them out.

Kati got some glitter glues and used all of them on her first picture. It was so sparkly!

Proof that I do exist. And I do attend our family functions. :)

Hailey was so tired. And, I guess she knows how to take her diaper off. Looks like it's feety pajamas from here on out.

November

We've had a nice relaxing November. I took the kids to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. Casey couldn't come because he had to work. :( But we had a fun time anyway. We went to a park that had dinosaur fossils in the sand box and a river and waterfall. And Geese and turtles. It was so fun to see the kids playing with all their cousins and having such a good time.

We also went ot a park in Boulder City that has mountain sheep. So cool. They came down while we were there and we got to see them close up. Then it started to rain, so we went back to Grandma's house.

Halloween

We had a super fun Halloween this year. kati had a parade at school, and then a big party with her class. We went to a trunck or treat at the church, and then we went trick or treating with cousins and had a yummy dinner. And Daddy got to be with us this year so that was a happy surprise.

Updates

It's been forever since I posted last so here are a few highlights of the last few months.

Hailey learned to pull herself up to the furniture. (after only a week of crawling, i might add.)

Kati had hat day at school, and she was just darling. She loves school, and insists on attending even when I try and bribe her to take a day off. :)

Kaitlyn and Logan just adore their baby sister. Kati likes to haul her around whenever she gets the chance, and Hailey seems to enjoy the attention. She smiles big whenever Kate picks her up. The older kids are such a big help. They always fetch clean diapers and changes of clothes, and they will throw nasty diapers in the garbage with minimal complaints. They're nice to have around.
