Christmas

Christmas morning was so exciting. The kids slept in and then when they did get up we waited upstairs until we were all ready. The missionaries came over to witness the kids opening gifts. It was chaos! They opened everything even if it wasn't theirs. We ate Amish Breakfast Casserole for breakfast, weeded the yard, played, and just enjoyed each other. It was so nice to have gram and gramps and Rori there. It was a perfect day.

Rori and Jaileigh looking over a few gifts.

Michaels quad was still charging so he was a little upset.

Annie with Rori and of course she had to be accessorized.

One of Annie's two gifts she got for Christmas. She got a little cheated. Good thing she doesn't care.

Sorry mom but I love this picture. The quads got underwear in their stockings and Jai had to put every single pair (8) on over her PJ's. We weeded the yard after eating breakfast. It was fun.

Rori and Mike weeding

Putting together the new table. Grandpa had plenty of help.

Hanging out at the end of the day. AAAHHhhhh so much fun!

 

Thanks for coming and we love and miss you!!!

More Holiday Playing

Our friends the Dunkleys, Caroline, and Bill and Gina all came over for early Christmas's. We had an exciting week spending time with all of them. We are so grateful for our friends and all they do for us. What great examples they are to all of us.


For Christmas the Dunkleys will be in Cancun, lucky dogs, so we played with them before they went. They of course spoiled the children and Mike and I. The 4 girls cleaned my house, wrapped my presents, and entertained my children while I hung out with them and socialized.

Bill and Gina came and I didn't get any pictures of them. I only got these two pictures.

Jake reading his new Elmo book. His black eye is slowing going away. It still looks yucky.

Somehow I didn't get any pictures of Caroline : (

Merry Christmas to you all!

Christmas With Uncle Joe and Aunt Kathy

The weekend before Christmas we celebrated Christmas with Mikes brother Joe and his wife Kathy. They came down from Las Vegas. We get to see Joe pretty regularly but don't get to see Kathy too much. We were so excited to have both of them at our house. We were really sad when they had to leave.

They gave the quads the coolest playhouse. Here is Joe being the "foreman" while Mike puts it together with the help of the quads. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures again.
