Doctor Visit, Funny Faces and nakey bottoms!

We had to take Alexander to the doctor. Poor kiddo had strep throat! While we were there he had Ashleigh get on the table and pretended HE was the doctor. Those two are kooks!


I told the kids to make their craziest faces! We need to work on that.....



We have this piece of white fur that we used as the tree skirt for the kids Christmas tree. After we took down the tree we put it on their bedroom floor....


Wasn't long before we had flashbacks to baby pictures and ended up with some nakey bottoms!

Snow!

Mr. Cool


We finally got some significant snow so before it got so bitter cold we bundled up the kids and let them play outside for a few minutes.


Snow Angels


"Sledding" - we have no hills. He was sledding down the burm around our tree in the back yard.


Hooray for snow!!!

Karate Kid

Alex has been taking karate classes for the last twelve weeks. Saturday was their graduation ceremony. Alexander took the test to see if he would advance to a new belt. I had no idea if he had passed or not going into this ceremony.

During their demonstration - such a ham! Making sure Mommy was looking!


He did it! Receiving his yellow belt from Sensei Tom.


Tickled!


We could not be more proud of our little Karate Kid!!

Christmas - Round II, etc.

MeMaw wanted a new platter with all of the kids handprints on it. So we went out to meet Nicki and the kids once they were in town.




The finished product (before firing).


We had a small birthday party for Caden while he was here as well.


All little girls love Uncle Mark - especially this one!


Sadly, the only picture I have of the birthday boy.


One tired baby - it's rough being on tour for Christmas!


The Fabulous Five opening a game from MeMaw.


Uncle Jay is the biggest kid of them all! Here he and Alex are playing with Caden's new nerf dart guns.


Jalynn's teapot was a huge hit with all the kids.


We took all of the kids to Union Station to see the miniature train exhibit. Here they are in front of the Christmas Tree at the Station.


Sweet Sweet Jalynn


My ornery little Miss Ashleigh with her magic wand which was tragically lost only a couple days later.


Caden working the paparazzi!

My two staring longingly at the train ride before we went in.


A Co-Op just like where PaPa Denny used to work!


Alex playing in the kids play area.


The three middles enjoying the train ride!


Just this morning - the two of them decided the tv was just too bright. Where do they get their diva attitudes?
