Ice cream cake.... yum!

Day 596

I know I took a picture this day, but I think it must have been lost in the photo disaster.....I am happy to say that most of my photos were recovered!!!! I only lost a few for the month of December.

Day 595

Hannah loves playing with Caleb's robots!!!! The tree is down and the house back to normal...as normal as it gets with 4 kids!!! The box she is using has all the Christmas tree ornaments in it.

Day 594

The day after Christmas we went to my dad's house. It was fun!

I can't explain how this happened, but Grandpa let Hannah open up one of her gifts LONG before anyone else. LOL She can't really say Grandpa, so she calls him "peepa"...she loves her peepa. LOL

These three goof were oblivious to the fact that Hannah just opened a gift...at first.
Hannah with her new doggy!
Samantha got lots of cool new glitter pens
Hannah got another puppy!
Poor Caleb watched everyone else open nerf guns. It was the thing he wanted most! He was so excited to finally open his.
This is what Josh wanted most!!! He has wanted one of these for years. It is a remote control car that also drives on walls and ceilings.

Day 593

Merry Christmas!!!! We had a great day!!!! Santa brought Caleb a DS, Josh and Samantha a new Nano, and Hannah a dress up trunk. We just spent the day hanging out as a family!

Day 592

Well, I swore I wouldn't get behind again....not looking so good, BUT this time it is not all my fault. Well, it probably is.... Somehow I managed to delete every single photo off of my computer. This included Christmas Eve and Christmas day. I had already formatted my camera memory card, so I had to try and recover those photos off of that card because the recover I did on the computer didn't save all of them. Anyway....here is Christmas Eve!

This is the kids getting ready to open their gifts to each other. We always do this Christmas Eve because they take time picking out each others gifts and I don't want it to get lost in the craziness of Christmas. I want them to know who got them what.

Caleb is always the goofball!
I wish you could hear Hannah crack up laughing every single time the monkey popped up. It was hilarious!
Believe it of not, this dinosaur is one of the things Samantha wanted the most!
The always happy Josh!

Day 590

Today we made our Christmas cut out cookies!

Day 589

The kids finally got to see Santa...WITHOUT the traffic, crowds and lines at the mall! Our chiropractor had Santa in his office today! I had some happy kids....and one not so happy kid. :) It is amazing how much Caleb and Samantha look alike in this...despite straight/curly hair and bright blue/dark brown eyes.

Day 588

This is Caleb's take on the camel incident...it was better the first time off camera, but the end of this is hilarious! Don't forget to pause the music at the bottom of the page.
