Merry Christmas!




p.s. eli was so confused as to what was going on - all he kept saying was, "what's happening???" you can tell by the look on his face...poor guy. and jenalyn, well she thought she was the one to take the picture.

Christmas morning

we attended the Vigil Mass, so we were able to sleep in and wake up to Christmas morning...


the kiddies were excited to see all the "wish boxes" (thats what they call presents) but didnt quite know what to do with them. I unwrapped most of them and they each waited patiently for us to take it out of the package. beacause we were busy unwrapping, we couldnt get too many pics, but boy did they have fun with ALL their new toys!



Advent activity recap...

ok so it didnt go as planned. we missed a few days here and there, but oh well I made a good effort (well at least most days I did)

we never did see santa claus...
nor write him a letter...
or make a gingerbread house...
or do very many crafts...
and bummer I never had them try a candy cane (well actually I did after the fact, but no pics)...
and the other things on the list were mainly done by be with no pics to show for...

ugh - we'll try again next year.

the BIG tree at the mall

we finally headed out to the mall to see the BIG tree - and of couse I didnt take a pic of the whole thing...oh well. enjoy the pics.




because its fun to have siblings to swing with!



eli's new thing to do

its actually been for about a month now - but its hilarious! he will randomly start making a pile of stuff, just stuff he finds laying around the apt. mainly toys, but if he comes across something interesting, he'll debate, stare at it for a while, then decide its worthy enough for his pile-o-stuff...my dear and I just watch in amazement and laughter, it is too cute!
