Christmas 2012

 Merry Christmas! 


We have had a wonderful day, the most wonderful part of which is to be home together.  The kids invaded our bed about 5:45 this morning.  The boys went back to sleep for awhile before Allie came in and claimed the be the first one up. 
 Wyatt is trying his hardest to turn over on his tummy this morning.  He sure is a good baby.
 Rachel getting her 80's on...
 Rachel got a C-battery powered crawling baby.  She tried the real thing out in her stroller though.  Wyatt had a blast!
Christmas boxes are the best (a few nights ago).

 This year was Wesley's turn to put the star on the tree.  He took the honors last night (Christmas Eve).

 Mission accomplished!
 Sprinkling reindeer bait in the backyard before going to bed (err. Allie is a good sport).
 Just after Santa came:
 Hey whatddya get?
 Just what we asked Santa for - a Star Wars ship!

We're thankful for the peaceful example of Christ and the peace we feel in our home this time of year.  We love you all!

Update- Wyatt did it! He rolled over for the first time this afternoon!!!

I cannot get over the photo of Rachel pushing him in her doll stroller she got for her birthday. It was funny then and we still think it is hilarious now!

I LOVE the picture of Rachel pushing Wyatt! She looks so darling and he looks like he is loving it. It looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas with lots of fun still coming up. So glad that you get to be together for the rest of the week.

The ski bibs are not new- the kids were just goofing off. :) Allie did get a new bib that actually fits her (she is wearing mine in these photos).

I know I am behind, but today I was looking through to get caught up and I'm still in awe that you have FIVE kids! They are beautiful and growing so much :) Time flies. . .
