We tried, but we didn't avoid the dumb stomach bug going around like crazy. Anna, Collin, & I had it and then Benjamin got it the next week. It was no fun, but thankfully short lived. They look like such angels sleeping through feeling so yucky.
By the time Dave got home, Collin was starting to feel a little better. After playing for a bit though he was worn out again and snuggled up with Daddy. I was too tickled by this image that I had to photograph it!
Thankfully the next day they were doing much better so my sister's family could come visit. We had the kids' pictures taken for our parents' for Christmas and enjoyed a fun visit too! Dave had the kids close their eyes as we drove to Nashville and told them we were going to the North Pole. I don't think they bought it, but we still had a fun time!
Eva was all snuggled up for the adventure and loved watching as we walked around.
Thankfully, the kids were less crazy looking for their professional pictures!
They really did a good job!
All the kids looked adorable, but I really loved this one of Eva!
Benjamin did such a great job that we decided to use it for his seven year picture (good thing too as you'll see later in this post)!
After some more drills, the kids got to have a real game for half the time this morning. It was quite the sight! Benjamin had a great time! Here he is super excited because he found a friend from his soccer team on the other bball team.
He is such a sweetheart! All the other kids mostly just dribbled the ball until they made their way to the basket and tried to shoot. Benjamin would always pass it though to one of his teammates!
I think he enjoyed playing defense.
Good game, good game....
Eva is growing so fast and is so very adorable. We had some fun capturing her expressions...
Benjamin's two top, middle teeth were loose and the one that was barely loose got kicked out thanks to his little brother during some wrestle time. He has quite the cute smile now! So he has lost a total of three teeth and has 3 more that are loose!
Grandma & Grandpa are going to the Rose Bowl over Christmas so they came and celebrated early with us. Here's Eva with her very first present, she was very interested!
It was mass chaos as the kids opened all of their goodies!
Eva is a big fan of her new baby owl that matches her big sister's for when they share a room.
Anna was super pleased with her new baby stroller that's like her Aunt Kelly's old one that she plays with at Grandma's house!
Benjamin loves all of his new gifts!
Collin is pretty happy with his pirate ship!
Thank you hugs! We also celebrated Benjamin's birthday early with them and even got to go have ice cream!
Miss Eva turned five months old! This was the day Benjamin had the stomach bug and after being awake most of the night and Dave being at work, it was most definitely a jammie day!
There's that tongue!
She is such a joy!
Eva is sitting up more. She can sit for a few seconds on her own and for a long time with the boppy.
Get it!
Her fan club is usually close by!
