Christmas Pics (Even though they don't really look like it!)

 I really dropped the ball taking pictures this month. This ended up being the only picture of our tree that we got!

 Nadia loves playing with the girls!

 I think at one point she got twisted up in the boa though, and then it wasn't quite so much fun...

 Christmas morning, I thought it was adorable that Jared wanted breakfast with the new John Deere...

 A chicka chicka boom boom floor puzzle.

 We always have cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas. Unfortunately we had a small catastrophe when Jared turned up the oven temperature while they were baking. Luckily it wasn't anything that couldn't be fixed with a lot of cream cheese frosting!

 Jared is my best kitchen helper ever! He never gets bored halfway through and leaves!

 At one point Jared thought the paint water was something edible...don't worry, he only got a small taste...

 Nadia loves standing under the kitchen table, I think it's just her size!

 Lilli LOVES art, and she is very good at it. She's concentrating like crazy here!

 Carmi and her crayons...

 And that was the end of pics they didn't know I was taking...

 Nadia helping Jared put dishes away.

Lilli is an AWESOME little helper. She sat under the kitchen table with Nadia the other night giving her a snack while I made dinner.

Pick Me!! Pick Me!!

I always have to laugh when I get the camera out and the kids all want their picture taken multiple times...
I think I got the camera out to capture Carmi's face covered in spaghetti...it makes me laugh every time...

Two spoons you say? The better to eat with I suppose...

I wanted to show off our little mover, and she definitely is, couldn't even hold still to get a clear picture of her sweet little face...

Flashback

I was going through all my pictures and found a few that hadn't been filed in any specific folders (so I never posted them) so I thought I would share them along with a couple of recent pictures so show how much the kids have changed in just 18 months!

Lilli and Itchy with his owie. I thought Itchy would be Lilli's best friend forever, but in the past 6 months she has moved on to a big pink turtle...

Jared's adorable curls

Carmi's 3rd birthday.  July 2012.

And here they are now...

Here is Lilli with Mr. Pink Turtle shell

And just cause she's so cute here's Nadia:

Nadia is crawling now, and pulling herself up. She gets pretty frustrated because she can pull herself up but can't get back down by herself. I think she may end up walking before she's 1.
