Pretty Princess

Couldn't tell which ones were the best so I felt like posting them all...she's so adorable :)

Hawker/Foster Christmas

The weekend before Christmas we went up north to celebrate with the Chris' family and his mom's side. The kids had loads of fun running rampid around Beth and Ryan's house :) They were even rather nice to their kitty, Walter. Apparently we need stairs to run up and down and an open balcony to throw things off. I thought I charged my camera before coming but apparently I didn't so pictures are limited....sorry, once again...I'm retarded. The picture in the picture above is at grandma/grandpa Foster's house. Grandpa feeds a squirrel friend every morning and the kids were excited to watch up close...so excited they ran over instead of getting dressed :) It's become a favorite picture of mine! Beth....I'll need to upload some of your pictures to my blog as I don't have any of you from this day!!!! Stupid camera of mine....Aunt Beth was busy working hard in the kitchen to make us all breakfast :)

At Aunt Beth and Uncle Ryan's house....Chris' sister and brother-in-law.

This was the first and basically last thing he opened as he layed there like that the rest of the time!! He would open a gift to please us then go back to the train!

A princess dress!!! Aunt Beth and Uncle Ryan quickly became her favorite as that's ALL she wants to wear now!!!

Logan got his stocking after his nap.

ooooing and ahhhing over Logan's constellation turtle...which is the coolest thing!!

Logan dove right in to open presents!!!

Zach loved Uncle Ryan

Sneaking a peak...or some slobber....at the presents :)

First day of table foods!!!! He's holding his own banana :)

We woke up to snow :)

Zach kept wanting Uncle Ryan to read him the five love languages book until he gave it to daddy and Kenzie made Ryan read her his orbital mechanics book :)

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!
