Christmas Party time!

Aunt Amanda and Uncle Garrett had a great Christmas Party this year and we had so much fun.  In the past this was an Adult only venue but now with Quinn it has become a family event.  It was a blast.  The food and company was fantastic and as always the kids had a great time with their cousins.


Under the table.


Sweet Ella only stopped for a minute for a quick smile and then she was off again!


Lexi trying to spruce up Ellas hair!



Is there anything cuter than this..... umm no in case you had to think about it!






Christmas Lights!

We went for our annual Christmas Light viewing at Christmas Card Lane.  It is so much fun to watch the kids as they are so excited and it is a great way to get in the Christmas spirit.  I love everything Christmas but there is nothing in the world like Christmas through a childs eyes!


Here is a shot of all the kids minus Quinn the Goads couldn't join us for this adventure! We are also minus Mike as he had to work late so my Dad has Ella in the Bjorn!



These kids are so lucky to have each other.  I love how close they all are!




Aunt Lindsay decorated their wagon - so darn cute!


Emma is so good with the little ones


Ella and Lexi traveled togehter for quite a while in one of the wagons and they would talk to each other and grab at each other.  I think they will be great friends!


Lily stopped at every house and looked at every detail.  She loved every minute of this night.  She would dance in the driveways of peoples homes that had music and she would talk to all the Christmas Cards.  It was so sweet!


Christmas Cookies!

Every year we get together at Aunt Lindsay's for Christmas Cookies.  The kids decorate delicous cookies made by Aunt Lindsay.  This year they were more into playing so the girls got to sit and talk which was nice.  Here are some pictures from our fun day!


The three little ones!  Aunt Lindsay made these adorable onesies for them so of course we had to add tutus!




The kids making cookies!







The finished project!


All 7 kiddos!  Thanks Aunt Lindsay for a wonderful day and a treasured tradition!

November Highlights

I have to say November was slow on the picture taking for me.  I only have a few to share after the explosion of pics from Lily's birthday.  Nothing much going on this month except that Ella is crawling everywhere!  She is super fast.  Here are some pictures from the month!


Ella loves to do anything Lily does


Ella doesn't stand to often - which honestly is fine with me.  Maybe she will be a late walker like Lily that would be a blessing




Kimmi Gregg and Paige came for dinner - we always have so much fun with them



We are some messy eaters in this house




Here it is Ella the Crawler
