Blog Catch Up: Christmas

-
Babies first night home.  Even though there are two of them, they look so tiny in the crib together.  We have started putting them closer together, head to head, with a blanket around them and they love sleeping together so close.  They have been snuggled up together for the last nine months!!
One proud big brother on Christmas morning!

Morning time snuggles.

Baby girl put her Christmas bow on.  She has plenty of bows but her head is so small they don't fit.

Excited boys to start opening presents.  Love these three!


Sweet Santa Abram

The boys were blessed this Christmas with many gifts from family near and far!



















The boys received some new train track and trains!  They were very excited.


Our sweet kids on Christmas morning!


We gave the boys their Christmas ornaments that represent the last year.  Jacob received a train.  

Andrew received a boy and his dog ornament.

Sam received a stack of books.

And the babies received "Babies 1st Christmas" ornaments.

It was such a fun Christmas morning watching the kids get excited about their gifts and seeing what their brothers received!

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
