Christmas Week fun!

We enjoyed our week at home before Christmas getting ready for Christmas! 

We did A LOT of baking, cleaning and wrapping! :)

The Mr. did pig tails in the girls hair and it's about the cutest thing ever!! 

Snack and chat time! 

We always bake Nana's famous butter cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve! Well the boys were busy doing some last minute errands so us girls did it this year! The girls LOVED LOVED doing the sprinkles! 

Santa really enjoyed the cookies! 

Baking Day & Christmas Fun!

Saturday night we went to a special Christmas event at our church! It was the first time all 5 of us have been out of the house together in awhile! It was nice to be all together! 

We ate dinner at Chick-fil-A and then headed to church for the Jingle Jam...the kids enjoyed the music! 

Sunday morning we headed back to church!

I came down and saw this...precious boy!! 

After church I started to bake! One of my favorite parts of Christmas break is doing a lot of baking! I split it up this year into 2-3 days. I usually do it all in one day but this year I wanted to spread it out and it's a bit more tricky with 3 kiddos!ha! 

I also made my butter cookies but they aren't pictured! I still have a few more things to make! 

Mint snowcap cookies, Rolo pretzel things and Saltine Toffee 

Sunday Sunday in the Rain!

We had a lot of rain the past week! UGH...but we've tried to make the best of it! 

Sunday morning we met J and T for our almost monthly Waffle House breakfast! We love catching up and the boys love synch each other too! 

We spent the rest of the day inside because of the weather and also because the girls were sick...we thought it might be ear infections. 

But we did bust outside for a like 5 min to play in the rain in between baking chocolate chip cookies! 

The girls found some of my necklaces and wore them most of the afternoon! 

We were cleaning the girls high chairs so we had to put them on the floor to eat and they loved it! 

After I put the kids to bed Sunday night I went to clean up the downstairs and found this in the closet where we keep their toys. :) Looked like an animal birthday party! Even though there are some really tough moments of motherhood there are so many amazing moments! I am one blessed Mama!

Sweet Sundays

Sundays are so much fun! We try to start our week out together playing and prepping for the week so we can have a successful week as possible. :)

This sweet girl was the first one up! :) 

Playing blankie tug of war!

Swingin' at the clubhouse 

Great little parking lot for T to ride his scooter!

After the girls went to bed T and I made chocolate chip cookies!

And the Mr. made super yummy chicken parm!

What a wonderful start to our week!

Christmas with the H's

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days...we've been so busy with Christmas fun! :) We are all alive and well and having SO much fun!

Yesterday we had Christmas with my step Mom and sisters...my Dad was so sick and couldn't come...we missed him so much! I think the Mr. missed him the most...he was looking forward to man talk in a house filled with tons of girls! :) 

The girls love their Cee!

O and Grandma R!

Tucker LOVED opening his present! They got him a super cool boat for the bathtub! And the girls are going to LOVE playing with their new toys too! :) 

EK got a little over stimulated with all the people and wanted to be held close...she hung out in the sling while I ate lunch. :) Sweet girl! 

We ate a delicious lunch prepared by the Mr. and then after lunch started our annual baking day! It was so much fun! We made 4 different things...we still have 2 more items to bake...we will be doing that tomorrow. 

Tucker loved helping! He was great at unwrapping the Rolos :)

K and J iced and decorated the sugar cookies! 

Dall and Tuck decorated some cookies together too!

Rolling the peanut butter dough! 

We had a wonderful day together! Tuck loved having his Grandma R, Cee and Dall here! :)
