Christmas Day

 Tree all ready for the kids

 Stockings are ready

 Santa brought us a trampoline!!  We can't wait until spring to set it up :)

 Thank you to Grammy and Popo, Mimi and Papa, and Great Grandma!  The kids are very lucky to have you in their lives and they loved your gifts :)

 Even underware is exciting!  

 Checking out his new legos

 A new necklace from great grandma

 Barbie Dreamhouse!

 Giving kisses...this kid loves to kiss her babies

 Minecraft legos

New Superman

 Hadley sniped Maddy's new cape and FurReal kitty (named Daisy like our cat!)

 Playing superheroes

 Hadley has a new best friend and his name is...daddy.  Not sure how the two of them are going to manage when daddy goes back to work!

 Boys playing BeyBlades

 Santa baby!

We got each of the kids a monthly membership to a couple different clubs (depending on their age and interest).  The oldest 2 get one that sends them different action heroes and boyish paraphernalia (ninja turtles, cars, ect).  The youngest 2 get one that sends them toys and other things related to their age (snacks, clothes, toys).  The middle 2 get a craft box (they are seen doing their craft in the pictures above).  This months box was dinosaur related. 

Christmas Eve

Growing up we always opened presents on Christmas Eve.  I thought it would be a tradition passed down to our family, but Mark will only open presents on Christmas Day!  So we compromised and we open 1 gift on Christmas Eve and it is always jammies (Christmas themed).  We also watch a Christmas movie and eat our dinners in front of the tv (something we never do!!)

 Before we opened presents

 And after!

 Everyone in their new Christmas jammies (getting the littlest human to stay in one spot is a task!!)  The girls also got matching pj's for their babies

 Our family (Zoburt, our dog, also wanted to be in the picture!)

Daddy, babies, and boxes

When daddy gets home from work Hadley is glued to him!  She brought a baby over and wanted to snuggle with the baby and daddy :)

Mark is also showing off my new gloves that my mom made for me :)  I love wearing them (well, after I got them away from Mark!)

I fit in here...right?

Christmas photos

I saw on facebook that a photographer was doing mini sessions at the beginning of December.  She was taking pictures at a tree farm.  We were supposed to have them taken on a Saturday, but it ended up raining all day (and was in the upper 40's).  So she moved the session to Sunday, which happened to be in the 30's and WINDY.  So we braved the COLD in our sweaters (we did have multiple layers on) and these are the shots she got :)  I certainly didn't win any mother of the year awards (especially when the baby cried for 10 mins in the car after the heat was turned on and she started warming up) but we got a few cute pictures!

Cake smash pictures

 Having her first taste...she loved it!

 She just got right in there!

 She ended up throwing the cake on the ground!

 Mommy wouldn't let her run around on the white carpet with pink frosting feet...such a mean mom!

 We got all 3 of her dimples in this picture!

Can't believe she is 1 year old!  I love this baby girl!
