Homebodies and Jumperoo



While we were hanging out last night, I noticed Kate was getting pretty bored with her floor toys and mat.  She HATES to be on her belly, will just scream until she pukes.  I plan to ask the doctor about it at her 4month appt.  The boys loved tummy time and rolled from belly to back very early.  Kate is not yet rolling.  But because her dislike for tummy time she almost rubbed all the hair off the back of her head.

So, we decided to get the jumper out to allow her somewhere else to play and hang out where she could support her own head.  She just barely reaches the floor but she loves it.  She spins the little froggie round and round!  She is growing like crazy.  I am sure you can tell from the pics how small her 3month sleepers are on her.  I am going to get to switching out to her 6month clothes soon.

Christmas 2013 {Nena & Papa's}













We went to Steve's Dads today in Haven. Our kiddos have really been pretty good little travelers this year.  Today was no exception.  We had a great time with Nena, Papa, Aunt Leslie, Shannon & the cousins.  The boys all got tractors from Nena & Papa and I think the adults had as much fun playing with them as the cousins.

The boys were rowdy as ever and took turns attacking Christopher.  Brylie is growing up so fast.  This is the first year that she was more interested in the baby instead of wanting to rough house.  She looked so grown up.  Grandma Jean got in on some baby snuggles too.

We are so incredibly blessed.  I am glad the weather cooperated and was decent for the drive!  Christmas celebrations are almost over for the year.  I am sad but relieved.

Christmas 2013 {Nana's}












My sister and I got sick of pics without my brother in them so we decided that we were putting his face in our pics tonight!  We had Chinese for supper which of course was awesome because we didn't have to cook.  The most loved gift of the night were chests that Don(Nana's significant other) built for the boys.  Nana bought dress up clothes to go in them which the boys were also ecstatic about.  Nevermind the fact that neither one of my boys mind putting on cute little dresses and running around.  I think they are going to be fighting with sister over her girly toys in a year or two!

Faces


I don't get to capture these two faces with my camera as much as I would like. While Logan is always photogenic, these two little ones haven't yet learned that the faster they give me the pic I want, the less I will terrorize them...lol. Really though, they were being super sweet today!

Winter Playdate





We had our friends over to play and make ornaments today.  Instead of doing Christmas and buying each others kids a bunch of crap they didn't need, we bought for angels off the Salvation Army Angel tree.  It felt much better to us that way this year!

Christmas Day 2013 {Papa's}






Somehow Papa escaped my camera at his house!  We had fun with great grandma and grandpa.  My kids are so incredibly lucky...

Christmas Day 2013 {Our House}











I'm not really sure how Christopher escaped my camera this a.m....anyhow, the kids got up about 7(after little sis was up from 4:30-5:45) and headed down to open up gifts.  We went with the 3 gifts again this year: 1 from Santa, 1 from Mom and Dad & 1 from the siblings.  I was really disappointed that each one of the boys was short a present since the gifts I ordered online 2 weeks ago didn't arrive(I am guessing due to our crappy weather).  They were guaranteed by Christmas, big joke.  But the kids didn't seem to notice and were very happy with their stockings and 2 gifts. Mommy even snuck in some lovey pics on the couch(pay no attention to Daddy's stocking stuffers sitting next to Logan, LOL).
