Sleepover

We had a sleepover with Reagan and Bentley.  We love when cousins get to sleepover.  The kids especially love it because they get to stay up late and party!  Here are the kids in bed minus Rylee sound asleep and Bailey asleep in our room.

First spelling test

My little smarty pants J.J. got 100% on his very first spelling test.  So proud of him.  Hope there will be many more to come.

I love pictures of my little angels sleeping.  I love them even more when they are all together too.  It makes me think for a second that they actually do love each other!  I love how Addi is all sprawled out.  Love these little rugrats more than words.

 Rub a dub dub, three little ladies in a tub. Cutest little girls in the world.  I love that they are actually all smiling at the same time too.  The love each other.

Friend Christmas Party

We had so much fun at our friends Christmas party.  Ashley did such a good job putting it together.  We had dinner at Colby's parents house, came back to Stan and Ashley's had a hot chocolate making contest (of course Josh won with his amazing hot chocolate making skills!), had an ugly sweater contest (Colby won by a long shot), played games, and enjoyed everyones company.  

 This picture pretty much sums up our relationship.  Josh always making me laugh and acting like dorks.

The North Pole Express

On our way up to ride on the Polar Express.  The kids were so excited.  I looked back and saw Addi covered with her blanket.  I thought she was just playing, but she was completely asleep.  It was too funny and cute.  Glad she got a little nap in before riding on the train.  

 Waiting for our turn on the polar express.  All bundled up in our jammies and lot and lots of layers.  It was freezing cold.

 These three kiddos were so excited and absolutely loved it.  They loved getting cookies and hot chocolate. the elves singing and dancing, and or course seeing the North Pole and Santa Clause.

 Rylee did good to.  She just sat and took it all in.

We will definitely be going on this again.  It was not too exciting for the adults, but to see the joy and excitement in the kids eyes was all worth it.  They talked about it for days and JJ thinks that the Polar Express will be coming to pick him up on Christmas Eve.  I just love the stage of all my kids and their imaginations.

Baby Hudson is here!

After getting done with our family home evening, we got a call that Heather's water had broken and she was going into the hospital.  I was so excited.  We went to the hospital Monday night and he was born early Tuesday morning.  He was six weeks early so he needed some help breathing.  We were all so glad that he was finally here with us and doing well after all the stresses and worries throughout Heather's pregnancy.  The kids were not allowed in to see him, so they got to peak through the window.  J.J. was so frustrated that I got to go in and see him and just did not understand why he couldn't go in, if I could!

 Such and handsome little angel.  Just wishing I could hold him in my arms.

 Josh was such a trooper and took our kids and Bentley and Reagan while we went with Heather to the hospital.  I do not know many men that would volunteer to watch six kids, and be able to handle them all.  I am so grateful for him and all he does for me and my family.

Visit to see Santa

We went to see Santa for family home evening.  We got lucky that there was not one single person in line.  J.J. was not scared at all and loved Santa.  He told him he wanted a fast remote control car and a train.

 Bailey also loved Santa.  She told him she wanted chapstick.  Of course, what else would my girls want other than chapstick and gum!

 Addi was a little hesitant, but warmed up and told him she wanted chapstick as well.  She likes to follow whatever big sister is doing!

 Rylee's first time meeting Santa.  At first she did not know what to think.

 Then… she just wanted down!  Just as expected.

 Can't believe these four cuties our mine.  Christmas is so much funner with kids around and even funner with four of them!!

 Love my family.
