Thanks!

Thanks to all of our family who gets us great gifts and then spends even more to ship them to us. Christmas for the boys would not be the same without your generosity.

Thank you!

Christmas Evening

The Cables came over tonight and the kids were excited to show off their gifts to each other. Emma had a Native American themed Christmas this year since she's really into Pocahontas, so it worked out well that she brought her new costume and the boys had their new teepee and Indian shirts from Maca!

Here the older two are battling against Luke. No scalping was involved.

The three oldest with the teepee. I will take closeup pictures of the shirts from Anne soon, they are so neat!!

Tessa playing on the couch while the wii was entertaining most everyone else.

Like this. We've only played a few games so far, but MarioKart was the favorite tonight. On their way to our house tonight, Emma told Luke and Kelli that she wasn't into video games and wasn't going to play, but she did and she was good too. She kept wanting to play "one more game" before they left.

Christmas Morning

The older boys pointing out Asher's gifts to him while they (not so) patiently wait for Samuel to wake up.

Isaac lamenting that Samuel still wasn't waking up. In fact, Samuel got up and went to the bathroom and went and crawled back in bed for a few minutes. I'm pretty sure he did that just to torture his brothers.

Finally! Samuel emerges and the chaos ensues.

He catches a glimpse of what's inside....

and he is well pleased.

The older boys are thrilled with the Wii while the younger two wonder what the big deal is.

Comparing stocking loot.

The older boys spent most of their morning here, putting together their new legos. Mommy spent most of the morning with the Wii. :-D

The babies emerging from some secret mission(trouble) inside the teepee from Maca.

Christmas Eve Fun

After church, the boys opened their Cmas pj's.

They were literally climbing the walls they were so wound up.

Isaac lost another tooth this morning.

Taylor Decorates Our Fridge

Taylor sent us a Christmas picture she drew.

And Taylor recently sent Flat Stanley to hang out with us for the next month. He's living on the fridge for now so he doesn't get injured.

Another B-day Gift for Asher

Asher got a bonus birthday gift from Maca yesterday. The boys are having tons of fun with these blocks. They're made of foam, perfect for the kitchen floor!
