"Re-Cap"-tastic!

So.... It's almost FEBRUARY.

And I am dismally behind on this whole blog thing.


So, here goes. The Mother of all "Re-Caps".....


Covering everything important that I've missed over the past few months.


Ready?... Set... Go!




 This handsome boy turned 6!
(waiting for the bus on the morning of his birthday)


 

 Had THE most homemade "Ninja Turtle Cake" there's ever been. Ha. Oh man.
(But didn't complain because he's a sweetheart.)





 Happily lost some more teeth - we're up to FOUR now!




Had our first official kindergarten "snow" day! 
(which Mommy took full advantage of to shoot some photos for our Christmas card this year....)




































































Got to experience a few adorable children's Christmas programs.....

 Holden's Kindergarten Program





Bridger's Preschool Program





And a STAR was born... hehe
(Bridger is normally painfully shy at preschool.. so this was an AWESOME surprise.)




And our church Christmas Eve children's program. How cute are they?!
(Costumes made by yours truly. Hehe.)

(Also, this was just the dress rehearsal... but luckily I got a cute photo since we lost power and it was so dark during the actual performance!)







Had some designated "Love Time" - this is a thing in this house. I literally announce "Love Time" and everyone must stop what they are doing and pile up.


This time even Daddy got in on it... but for some reason... Mommy was on the bottom of the pile up. ♥








Then we got a Christmas Tree....


 The adventure begins







Boys. Running. Everywhere.










 Little Bryce. Look at this cutie patootie face!






 It was a whole family affair.. lots of little boys.







 Oooh! Mimi found a good one! She's off! Ha.










 We found one!






 Jared had lots of... supervisors. Ha ha






 It's down!





These two were "helping"......




 .... and this one thought, "Nnnnnope."




 Christmas Tree Sawing Champ



 On to the decorating!!



I told them I did not care HOW they did it... just do it. 

I mean, 3 ornaments on the same branch? Whatever. It's all good.



 Hmm. Wonder where he learned that pose?




Decoratin' little Dudes





Tested - and Proved - just how strong Daddy is....





And then we had Christmas with the Himes family!.....


 Such a good one!






But see... we're all weirdos.




 Singing "Jingle Bells" before dinner :)




 
Opened some wonderful gifts...






 Posing with their BIG presents...








 NEW SLEDS!!!









 Look how excited they are! :)








 Favorite new picture ♥♥♥♥


























 His awesome handcrafted gift from Tyler!






 
 ♥






 Big kids.




 Everyone got in on the action...



 Can they get a car to make a full lap...?




Yes they can! Yaaaaaaay!!!




 Playin' with it even after we put the kids to bed... who likes this gift more? ;)






And checking out his handmade caddy again. 


 He loves it.



And finally, Christmas Day!..........

 All ready for the hooligans to wake up...



 Patiently waiting for Daddy and Graham to get up




 Let the fun begin!



 Not all the Stocking Stuffers are candy, Bridger..... THOSE were bath tub fizzies. 


Yum.O.



 Tearin' into the giant boxes....


 Bean Bag Chairs!







 They're a hit. :)








 And quite cozy ♥♥♥





 Got a Remote Control Car like he asked for....



 ... he was excited.






 Toothless :)
(After it was such a HUGE hit at the Himes Christmas, it was all the boys could talk about. So we had to get one, too.)





The only thing on Graham's list was "a kitty that walks".....



 He was so happy. ♥




 Then Daddy got a quick check up. 


And it was time for him to open a present....

 This one was from Bridger. 

Just before Jared opened it, Bridger said, "I can't wait to see the smile on your face." 
How sweet is that?!♥





 And one for Mommy.

(Never mind Captain Underpants, over there. It's hard to keep clothes on that kid lately.)







Then over to Mimi and Pap Pap's house....


Tyler & Emily





 I wanted one with the pretty girl, too♥



 And this pretty girl. Meggy. 
Please come back soon.♥






 More gifts...


All the kiddos waiting their turn



Jossy did my hair!



 ♥    ♥   ♥






And there you have it! 

The Re-Cap is complete!

(Oh. I had a birthday in there too at the end. 31. Details, details.)

And I promise to try my best not to cram 3 months worth of stuff into my next post :)



Thanks for following, friends!
