Christmas 2014

This year we did things a big different. Having R in our house has changed lots of things. Well how we do things. I used to wrap presents and put them under the tree as they came home. Well R, he likes to get into everything. So present sunder the tree was not an option this year. So way up high they went.

Christmas morning I handed the presents to the three big kids to put under the tree. They really liked doing that. I might just start doing it this way every year.

To keep R from ripping into everyone else's gifts we had him in his high chair. It worked out perfectly.

Monkey slept through most everything. Snug as a bug in the sling.

Monkey just wanted to be held and I was busy doing something with one of the other four so Jon attempted to wear her. And he did dishes.

We had Jack'ee, Jason, and his brother over for Christmas dinner. It was super nice to see them.

Right after dinner we loaded the kiddos up and headed to Utah. It was a long night.

School Christmas parties 2014

So… I'm not really sure what each class party was like. I was flitting back and forth running up and down the hall snapping photos and trying NOT to miss anything while wearing the baby that I missed lots. BUT they both wanted me there. They are not going to want me at their class parties for too many more years. I'm trying to take advantage while I can and before I become that embarrassing Mom. I'm that Mom already, but they haven't realized it quite yet. The kids had fun and were both happy I was there so that's a win.

Kaylee's class had breakfast. They made pancakes… SO Kaylee had fruit and juice. "Mom, I axed if there were eggs in those pancakes. They said yes. So I told them I can't have any cause I'm allergic to eggs."  I am SUPER happy she remembered to ask!

I know they played games and did a Christmas story book swap. Not sure what sort of games they played. Kaylee said it was a great party.

Kaylee and Regan where both thrilled when they unwrapped Kaylee's book at home and discovered that it was the same one Regan's teacher read his class. How fun is that?!

Regan's class had treats and played some games and put on a concert for the parents. SO ridiculously cute/funny. Best thing ever!

These two embrace like they been apart for days and not just 3 hours. Every day. I love it. Although sometimes it's more of a tackle and injuries occur….
