Now that the Chunker is crawling he gets into everything! His favorite thing right now is to crawl over to the guitar and strum. He even gets his little pointer finger out and plucks the strings! Maybe he will be our prodigy? If guitar playing doesn't work out for him he still has his looks!
For Thanksgiving we were invited over to our neighbors the Kessler's. They hosted both of their families so there were about 23 adults and 6 kids (my 6 and their 3). It was a huge feast. I don't know if I have ever seen so much food for one dinner! One Honey Baked Hame, a deep fried Turkey (thanks to Paul), another Turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, rolls, green bean casserole, potato casserole, stuffing, jello, pies, cake, scotchies, corn, and of course Pies! It was fantastic! Even though we missed our families we are very lucky to have been able to spend the day with them! Thank You Kesslers!
Roller skates anyone? A friend from church had her party at a roller skating rink. They rented out the entire place for a couple of hours. It was great! The kids absolutely loved it and they all now have rollerskates/blades on their Chirstmas lists! I didn't really get as many good photos of them as I thought :(
Boo putting up the Star! Notice where all the ornaments are?
My baby boy is 6! Okay I know he really isn't my baby boy anymore he was replaced (as the baby) twice but still it is hard to believe that he is 6! That just seems so big to me. I will always remember the days they were all born but I think I will remember the day he was born the most.... just ask Paul why he tells it best!
Out Takes! So last minute I decided I needed a better pic for our Christmas cards. All I got were out takes. Not only is it ridiculously hard to get all 6 of them to look at the camera (at the exact same time) but I have to get smiles out of them too! They are cute either which way but just know when that card comes I tried I really did!
This one with the frame was supposed to be soo cute (at least that is how I had it pictured in my head) but it didn't really work! You win some You loose some right?

Hope you all have a Wonderful Christmas! This time of year is so hard for me to not be home. I miss everyone so much! I do have to say it is nice to not have to run here and there and everywhere all day on Christmas! We get to stay in our jammas all day if we want to! I love the traditions we have started with our kids. Making sugar cookies for Santa, Lighting our street with luminary's, and Christmas Eve jammas. We sometimes watch The Nativity (though I think we gave it to a neighbor and never replaced it? oops) and yummy breakfast and playing with the kids, napping, and being together as a family. I send our love to you all!
