Trying to catch up on blogging. I don't love doing it, but am making myself for the sake of documenting our lives. We had a great Christmas in Washington. Paul had a whole month off of school so we spent a full three weeks visiting Paul's family. We were even able to spend a few days with Jeanne and her cute family since they live close to Marysville. It was so nice to be with family and to just enjoy being together everyday. Christmas is so magical with young kids who just soak it all up and love it all.
Lyla finally got a real bike! She loves it and rides it every day. It was perfect timing because the weather is perfect now but will soon be too hot.
Can you tell our kids were tired? It took the whole time for them to adjust to the time change so they woke up at 5:30-6 some of the mornings- good times!
Kaylie loved looking at the tree. She was pretty fussy the whole time, not sure why, but this always calmed her down.
Fun surprise visit from Santa!
Trevor got a sulley costume from Grandma. He loves scaring all of us!
We went to see Christmas lights, ride a train, pony rides. It was freezing but we had a great time!
Making donuts with Grandma
Dancing with the Grossarth kiddos
Reading with Aunt Cheyenne. We didn't have a ton of time with Justin and Cheyenne but it was really nice to see them and catch up.
Seriously melts my heart. Kaylie is just in love with daddy. Anytime she sees him she completely lights up and gets all giddy and can't take her eyes off of him. So sweet.
There was one day when it snowed and the kids were so excited!! Grandma was sweet enough to brave the cold with them and they were very proud of their snowmen. Then they brought snow in and had snow cones and hot chocolate.
Sweet Madison was my little buddy. It was so fun to get the kids together. They love their cousins.
We went to the mall with all of the kids- and I'm sure people thought we were crazy. We had three strollers with 4 kids, and three other kids running everywhere.
