Christmas Celebration Last Weekend


This was the dress that Evie wore on Sunday!  Mom bought it for her and said it reminded her of a dress I had when I was about his age.
She looked angelic in the purple wings.




The fam
We caught Blaize on camera, teasing Evie !


Simon loved this scooter that Alex gave him.
We came home that night and he rode it EVERYWHERE in the house.
The next morning, (as pictured) he was just scooting away.
He wanted me to give him jobs to do so that he could ride the scooter to each 'job.'


Silly, energetic, lovable, snuggable kiddos





Gigi and Pops


Tania and Scott


Matt, Simon, Evie, and Amy


Kelly, Alex, Corey, and Blaize


Simon got a bike for Christmas from Gigi and Pops!
He was pretty excited!
He asked me later that night, "Can I throw paper at people's houses now?"
So cute!  He already wants a job!



The bike will take a little time, but I have a feeling once we can get to the park, he'll catch on fast!




Decorating the tree outside!


Dipping pinecones in peanut-butter
Apparently Alex is allergic to peanut-butter - He's eaten peanut-butter a few time and had rashes, so he never gets to eat p.butter.  Just touching the peanut butter and then his face was enough to make his eyes swell up and blister.



Bread ornaments


Tempting the birds ...


Mom ordered new adult stocking this year and had them embroidered.
No backing out Tania - you already have a stocking!


The kids stockings.
Mom ordered two extra.
That's all.


Mom had emailed us all a schedule of last weekend a few weeks in advance with very specific details and time-lines.  Maybe I can post a copy of that sometime ....


Mom caught on camera in "teacher-mode."
We were doing an activity with the kids, "What Does God Want for Christmas?"
Evie seems to be contemplative.

Dad seems overwhelmed in this picture.
