Eli misses his Cousins

Eli got this sweet little Lion from his cousin Dawson. I thought this was so sweet. Eli is carrying it around saying Lion...Dawson...Lion...Dawson. He saw their picture last night and started crying because he wanted Dawson. Then he said Jack-Jack...hat. He knows Jack-Jack has work hats that he likes to wear. It is so pitiful to hear him call for them and then I have to tell him they are not here.

PJ's and Confusion

We decided to have the grandkids pictures made in their Christmas pj's that grandma bought them for Christmas. It was a surprise for grandma. We were also going to attempt a regular pic without the pj's all in the same sitting. What were we thinking??? It was quite an adventure. The pj picture turned out pretty cute but the other was total CHAOS at the picture place. No one would pose, the babies were crying, Eli and Jackson were running behind the backdrop and climbing on the props...as soon as they snapped this pic Jackson decided to lay down and eli was walking away and Dawson wanted us to get those screaming babies out of his arms. Too many little ones and changing clothes was not the best idea. It was too funny not to purchase though.

Silly Pics & Sleepers

These are some cue pics of the twins and eli in aunt hebers glasses he found. It was so funny watching him with those glasses on. The kids are great sleepers and we took some sweet sleeping photos this week. They are all good snuggle bunnies!

Christmas Breakfast

We had a wonderful Christmas breakfast with family on Christmas morning. It was so yummy! Eli had pancakes that Uncle David made from Cracker Barrel. Jack-Jack and Eli were fixing things up in the kitchen with their tools as well. Too Cute!

Christmas with family

We had our family Christmas at grandma's as soon as we arrived Wednesday night. Eli got a basketball goal. He didn't care about anything else after he saw that. The twins got a new family deluxe wagon...I'm so excited about the wagon!

The twins got really cute clothes from Aunt Jenn and the cutest toys from Aunt Heber. Eli got some clothes as well and a new car track for his activity table and a Potato Head Set that he is loving right now. Thanks for all the neat gifts!

Christmas Eve

We had Christmas at our house on the eve of Christmas Eve. We were heading out of town on Christmas Eve so we let Eli open his presents the night before. He was so excited about his gifts. The babies slept through the entire thing...they awoke later when it was time to eat and get ready for bed.

Eli got a drum and he LOVES it. He was so excited!

Fuller we'll be...

The kids and I are packing up and going over to the Fuller's (our very good friends) to spend the day. We will be filled with lots of laughter, love, and homemade treats while we are there. They are the best little cooks ever. See yall soon!!!

As noted above: We had a really good time spending the afternoon with our friends. The girls are so wonderful and of course baby Isaac is so adorable and I just want to smooch those chubby cheeks of his. He is such a happy baby! We had some delightful brownies and delicious potato soup. YUMMY!!!

Eli and Rylee with their matching hats on...too cute!

Cutest Elf's

This was a gift we received from the Droke's as well to go with our holiday decor. I love these kinds of little homemade gifts. They are always the best.

Join in all the reindeer FUN...

We've had a great week trying to shop and get things ready for Christmas this year. We will be traveling to Nashville on Wednesday to spend Christmas with Chuck's family. We will be back over the weekend and will probably meet with some of my family for New Year's!

Here are a few pictures from yesterday...the kids all had matching reindeer outfits...they turned out to be pretty cute. I had my heart set on snowmen outfits but things got all mixed up and reindeers it was. Eli got a guitar from the Droke's (good friends of ours) and then a sucker. That is becomming is staple treat from the girls. He climbed up on the stairs at church and was sitting behind a chair playing his guitar and eating his sucker.

We couldn't get any great photos with everyone semi happy so here they are the best we could get them...

TPC Christmas Musical

We attended our annual Christmas Musical at our church last night, The Pentecostal Church. It is always an amazing show of talent and worship to the Lord. I look forward to it every year. The twins had new little outfits on so I wanted to show them off. Ava had sweet little red shoes on that matched her hair bow and outfit as well...can't see them here...Hope you Enjoy!

Ava after her screaming spell at the house...guess she just wanted to go bye-bye!

Aiden staring and grinning at his daddy...so sweet. This is one sweet boy!

Sweet Big Brother

Last night when it was time for bed Eli wanted his bubby and sissy to lay down with him. It was so so sweet. He got really upset when we moved them to put everyone to bed. He wanted to sleep with them. It was cute. He was even smiling for us when we were taking pictures. It was hilarious!

ABC's

Eli is learning his ABC's already. He is stuck on ABC but that is okay. He sayd D sometimes too. This is a little video of him talking to me yesterday. It was so cute...until he tried to grab the camera from me. hehe!!

Wiggle Worm

We introduced the Wiggle Worm Activity Gym to Aiden and Ava yesterday. Aunt Jenni bought this for Eli and we held onto it for the next babies to come. They were so cute laying there wiggling around. I think Eli liked it too.

2 months to 24 years

Ava and Aiden had their 2 month checkup today. They are both doing EXCELLENT! Ava weighed in at 10 lbs. 13 oz. and Aiden weighed in at 10lbs. He is definitely catching up to his baby sister. Also, my twin brothers 24th birthday was today. We celebrated at Texas Roadhouse. Justin just got back from Iraq and we are so glad he is home. Josh works on the River so he is not home much either...It was so nice they were both able to be together and home on their birthday.
