Longest Christmas/Misc Post Ever

I am finally posting about Christmas +- a week on each side or so... starting with Christmas Eve

For the 2009 Christmas Eve, for fun, I made everyone matching pajama pants. They were very amateur, but it was kind of fun! We had Christmas at our house and my mom and my little sister Whitney came and spent it with us, it was a lot of fun!

Jeff in his pajama pants

Kate LOVED the blanket my mom made her, she is always hauling it around the house.
We weren't that surprised that Whitney ignored us all of Christmas Eve to read a book. It was a really good one, and it isn't the first time we have been ignored by Whitney. ( I can't judge, I ignored the family for a day while I read it too)

Jeff's parents and brother came over to spend Christmas Eve with us, we had lots of goodies (the majority of which were from Margaret), played a game, read the Christmas story, and just had a nice time.

Scott with Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa got this basketball hoop for the boys, they LOVED it!

This is now Christmas Day. Kate got this necklace in her stocking, and still loves wearing it as a headband.

It was the year of the kitchen set for Kate, and she has loved it. I was probably more excited than her about it!

Kate LOVES to help Daddy shovel the walks.

The day after Christmas, my brother and his family came and visited

We went to Idaho for New Years and had so much fun! these kids had fun in the bath tub... then five minutes later, Kate and Teagan were crtying and the boys were slipping all over the place. It was a very short bath.
Kate and Rachel played doctor and fixed everyone. I got a pretty funny video I may post!

Scott

Grandpa pulled all the kids around in this huge sled behind the snowmobiles. They had so much fun! Sasha is on Kate's lap. Grant is in the back left, Ethan in front of him, and Kate in the front right.

Over Christmas, both Austin and Scott got really sick. They got fevers up to 103.9. I was freaking out! I'm so glad my mom was there to help me get their fevers down! This is Scott. By the time he got it, we realized it was just a virus that made their temperatures get up really high with no other symptoms. It was really weird actually. Austin got it first, we took him to the doctor, but they couldn't find anything, so they figured it was viral.


The boys sleep in their crib together these days. They are pals, they are always smiling and laughing at each other. I love it.
Austin is really on the move. He is AWESOME at going backwards. As of yesterday, he can move forward, it is a really funny sight to see! Anyway, he is always getting stuck under things, beds are a common occurrance.
My brother made us that table in the background--it is beautiful! I was so excited about it!
The kids got some Mega Bloks for Christmas, and we have been having so much fun with them! It took me back!
Kate and her brothers have so much fun together. I'm so glad they have each other!

Kate and Daddy playing Candyland

The boys are recently LOVING bread.

This sight is seen three times a day in our house. I am used to it, but I thought years down the road, it might be kind of funny!

Austin stuck again.

Kate is such a little helper. She is always wanting to vacuum, mop, change diapers (we don't let her do that one.)

We had such an awesome Christmas. It was so nice to spend time with so much family! And I have to say, I just loved being at home and relaxing. It was a wonderful holiday season!
