Christmas Recap

Here are the great pictures of our crazy Christmas with 5 kids! Even though it was a somewhat meager year...with 5 kids to wrap for it still looks like a lot. We had so much fun watching them. My favorite photo was this one of Weston jammin out with the headphones and ipod to his favorite "move it" song! ENJOY! :)

The 3 oldest received ipod shuffles (generic off ebay for $13) from Santa and loved to rock out to all the fun songs... Weston swiped Porters' and wouldn't take it off!
Porter just loved his giant snowglobe bouncy ball...who could blame him, it was awesome!

Santa's little Angels...

My Dad plays Santa every year for our family Christmas party (for over 3o years now) and our kids love to have their pictures taken with Grandpa Santa...This was Blake's first Christmas and his first photo with 'Santa'! Thank you Grandma Mrs. Clause for the suit :)



Notice Weston is NOT in this...couldn't get that one to hold still...AND his outfit didn't match :( So cute of my oldest 3!
Weston was SO happy! New Thomas jammies and skittles to boot!!

My (crazy) Wonder Life!

So this Christmas season I am so thankful to have 5 healthy and beautiful children that bless my life! This pic was from Thanksgiving and we were just thrilled to have 1 with all the kids looking AT the camera and happy (not crying)!!

Porter is our big man! He is 8 years old and doing so great. We started him and Weston on the GFCF diet (gluten free Casein free). While it's taken some time to see results with him, he is talking up a storm and really understanding everything around him on a whole new level!
James is our Big Helper! He is almost 7 years old and takes such good care of his brothers and sister. He is a wiz at math and gets 100% on all of his accelerated reading. We are so proud of him and how hard he tries.
Ruthie is our little mommy! At 5 years old and in Kindergarten we are so excited for the little angel she is. She loves to dress up the baby and helps out a ton.
Weston is our Mr. MAN! He is into everything. He loves to chase after his brothers and sister and get into all their stuff. He is doing great in all his therapies and really has been talking a ton since starting this new diet.
Blake is 2 1/2 months and is HUGE! We call him Bubba Blakers and love him to pieces. He loves to talk and coo and smile at us all and is a light in our family.
