Well it's been a while since my last entry. Life has been very busy with well, life. Right after Thanksgiving I discovered that we are expecting baby number 4 this next summer. I have not been feeling very well, which is normal for me and hopefully it will pass in a couple more weeks. That's probably why I haven't been blogging, just haven't felt like doing ANYTHING. My mom has been a HUGE help with cooking meals and cleaning up.
The kids have been so excited about Christmas and Santa coming. I hope you enjoy the pictures of the kids. We spent the morning opening gifts and playing with all the games. Daniel just had to take a bath after breakfast with his new bath toys. On Christmas Eve we had our traditional Mary and Joseph Dinner. The kids love eating on the floor with their hands. We had lamb, dates, olives, figs and goat cheese along with a loaf of bread. It was really yummy! After dinner we read the nativity story from Luke. The kids opened their Christmas Eve presents and got ready for bed. I was so amazed at how quiet they were when we put them to bed. Usually we are telling them to be quiet and stay in bed for at least an hour after putting them to bed. But last night we put them to bed told them stay there or santa wouldn't come and we didn't hear a single sound from them all night!
This is Daniel showing off his new PJ's.

Noah and Daniel in their new PJ's. I just really love this picture.

All three kids in their new PJ's. Every time we tell Daniel to smile he makes this funny face and scrunches up his nose.

Daniel showing off his new cars.

Emma got a rocking chair from Mana and a new dart gun. She has spent the whole day playing with it. I think it was in almost every picture we took of her.

Emma showing off a new dress, with the dart gun, of course.

Santa brought Emma a new booster seat. She was so excited about it! All day long she wanted to go for a care ride so she could try it out. I'm excited about it too, cause now she can get in and OUT of the car by herself!

Noah got a rc jet from Santa. He and Kendall spent a lot of time out in the field flying it. Noah also got a slingshot from Kendall. So they also spent a lot of time practicing with that.

Kendall got a Dilbert desk calender. Every engineer has to have one of them on their desk!

Noah got the game battleship from his Grandma Cork. He's excited to play it!

Daniel got a set of balls from Santa. He has spent the day throwing them at our heads!

Great Granny made the all the kids "happy pants". Here is Noah showing his off. We had a wonderful day and hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well!
