I was so excited that Hilary was able to visit, all the way from Virginia, for the holidays! It was so great to see her and spend time with the "old crew"!!
The 5 of us have been busy...
The "older" kids and Halle, minus Kyle
One of my favorite holiday traditions is getting together with the Harris side and doing some sort of service project! This year we met at the Mandarin for some yummy dinner and then headed to the Food Pantry to fill bags of food for the homeless and less fortunate!
The boys
The adults
Then, on Christmas Eve, I love getting together and the kids acting out the Nativity.
Christmas Morning! It all started with Steve tripping down the stairs and falling all the way down!! Apparently, he was quite excited! Sophie was so fun this year! She is loving "Dora" (shoot me now), so that is the majority of what she got!
Carson wanted a air soft gun, a truck and trailer and a gun with fake bullets (Hmmmm....?)
Halle wanted an American Girl doll and a blizzard maker
Caden wanted and air soft gun and to his surprise, he got and XBox!!
Apparently, I was exhausted by Christmas night because I didn't get any pictures at the Hibler side party!!
Do these two look like sisters or what!! They are complete opposites!
The "little" ones
The boys all got wallets or pocketknives at the little store. Halle and Sophie got earrings!
My pretty baby and my handsome husband (love this picture)
The annual carving of the pumpkins! A messy but fun job! Steve is in charge of the carving, I'm in charge of the clean up!!
Poor Halle was so sick with the flu! Steve carved her pumpkin and I had snapped a quick pic!! Even sick, she still looks beautiful!
Carsons scary pumpkin!
Sophie was loving the insides of the pumpkin! She thought it was so cool!
This is the only picture I got of her in her whole costume! While trick or treating, she was.....a stem!!
What a cute bunch!
An amazing friend of mine hosts a "Witches Party" every Halloween! Oh, the pressure! It's not a scary witch party, it's a glam witch party! She always takes a vote on "best costume" and guess who won...ME!! Thank heavens for Tulle!
The annual trip to Packs Pumpkin Patch! That place has everything...tractor ride, pick your own pumpkins, petting zoo, playground for the kids and a corn maze! Carson got lucky and got to go twice! He went for a kindergarten field trip too!
Sophie had just woke up from a nap, so she's not looking to excited! Not sure where Carsons pumpkin picture is...I have 4 kids, I'm lucky I got pictures of 3 out of 4!!
Sophie and her favorite cousin, Sadie
Caden, Conner, Ethan, Jake, Kobe and Alec
They finished the season at 4 wins, 3 losses. They didn't make the playoffs, but played in a tournament, Octoberfest, and won the whole thing! Way to go boys!! Until August.....
My baby Sophie (15 months) and Nellie (12 1/2 years)
Caden and Dad on one of many bike rides
I love this picture! It was taken a few days before this little thing threw my iphone in the pool! Gotta love her!
My girls...don't they look so much alike???
Somehow, mainly to make my parents and kids happy, we managed to squeeze one camping trip in! We have decided that if we can go camping once or twice a year, we're doing good! Camping is so not fun with babies!
This is my moms heaven! I just see dirt, snot, sunburns and scrapes! I need to have a better attitude! My kids love it!
