Umm....Hmm....

Why is there a pack 'n play on my bed?

Why are there tiny flour filled hand prints on my comforter? This one I can answer.....we just got done making sugar cookies and I forgot to wipe them off :) Oops....heehee....

Snowflake Ornaments

Yep....they all have a glue stick in hand waiting for glitter.

Each week I try to do one fun take home craft for the kids....last week we made snowflake ornaments. The kids also decorated real ball ornaments with their handprints as Christmas presents for their families. I did not get a picture of those but they were super cute!!

"New" tree

Since our smaller tree bit the dust, we were fortunate to be given this gorgeous "new" tree!!! Huge thanks to Shawna Robinson!!!!

Oh dear....really Logan??....

Needless to say, I DID move his doorway bouncer. I was in the kitchen so I wasn't fast enough to catch it....this started the breaking process I think. We got home from the ECC Christmas Concert on Friday and it was laying on our couch......our new tree is up and pictures are to come....and it's in a different room!!!!

All mine!

He laid there playing with legos for a long time!! The older siblings were eating breakfast :)

Little Tater Butt

Bartok wanted to intrude on the photo opportunity :)

Tater butt's favorite sitter :) She told me to call her that :)

I had the fun of watching little Tatum this past weekend so her mommy could go support her daddy in some musical adventures. We had tons of fun giggling, smiling, cuddling, checking out the lights, rolling around and watching cupcake wars :)

SOOO DANG CUTE!!!!

I felt like putting them in sweater vests for church this past Sunday and oh dear goodness...they were sooo handsome!!!

Attempt

Well...we may be crazy but we attempted to get a cute kid picture under the tree. 3, 2 and 6 months...good luck to me!! Even tried again the next day and candy bribes really didn't work well!!! I'll try again when we get them all dressed up in their Christmas attire...maybe in front of the fireplace next time...or put their butts in cold snow if it's out there...maybe they'll be quicker to cooperate :)

Logan rarely sits still....pretty sure he's gonna be into everything!!!

This is my favorite...Logan wants the tree and the older two just want the other to behave and smile so they can get their candy!

Timber!!!!

This cute little thing has knocked over the tree about 3 times now and it cracks me up every time :) Someday his little chapped face will heal....vaseline and aquafor are taking care of that.

Putiing up the tree

Some day stupid Firefox upload for blogger will put my pictures in proper order when I say!!! Whatever....here's my cuties putting up my little tree from college :) This year I have the "I don't care" feel for the tree. The kids decorated it and each day they continue to move the ornaments around to different spots. This is why only about 10% of the ornaments were given to them to put on the tree in the first place!! Cracked me up when most of them were in one corner of the tree...did I change it?...heck no!!! It's too adorable and precious that my kids decorated the tree...not my OCD for having things in proper order. Chris had a bit of a hard time at first but now he's playing along well :) Who says the tree has to be the prettiest? It is to my kids who see it every day :)

They thought Logan's toys needed to go on the tree also...remember the hidden treasures from last year (zach's paci and some legos).

Thanksgiving 2011

Zach, Kenzie and Theo all getting rides in the plastic bin

This is about the only thing they drank/ate for their meal....juice!

Logan is getting his time in playing with Aunt Beth and Uncle Ryan.

Theo is learning about his first thanksgiving on the Hawker side....monkey brain bowling.

Zach was more than excited to roll his "monkey brain" up and down the street!!

We walked down to Aunt Cheryl's basement to put our stuff down and look at what the elves dropped off....who little toddler beds for Makenzie and Zach...it was such an adorable little sight!!

Who wouldn't want to take a bath in Aunt Cheryl's really cool big garden tub with jets!!!! Well...everyone but Theo :) Zach was leery on the jets but Kenz had a blast with them!!!
