Some pics from Christmas morning. We are so happy when Santa drops by.

Making Gingerbread Houses - 

a Christmas tradition.

I cannot believe this little boy is three. Who authorized that to happen? 

 He wanted green trains, candy and a green turtle cake this year.  He is obsessed with the color green.

Happy Birthday!

Dear Santa......please know that Corvin has been such a good little boy this year. 

His brothers....not so much.

We wish you a Merry Christmas - from Corvin's preschool program.  It is so funny how these little kids have no idea what is going on.  Corvin was supposed to be the road to Bethlehem.  He did great with his part, but was not very excited to be dressed as a road.  I thought he was darn cute.

And....some Jingle Bells (with technical difficulties) from Michael's school Christmas program.

Happy Thanksgiving. 

 We have so very much to be grateful for this year.

Making candy turkeys (the best kind in my opinion)

The boys playing ipad in the kitchen as Mom does the dishes.

Happy Halloween. The older boys went as ninjas this year and the younger ones choose to be fire fighters.

(Xander just woke up from a very late nap and was not too happy for the picture.  Once he started Trick-or-Treating, he loved it and got so excited as we would go from house to house.)

The annual carving of the pumpkins.  What a mess!
