Between trying to get back to life after my sister left, then many power outages, and then a broken computer, I now today have time to post pictures from Christmas and my sister's visit. Since this is so late, I'm just doing a big post of an overview of their trip.
We so enjoyed having Jen, Patrick, Zachary and Shelby Grace with us. Sure it was sometimes crazy with 5 kids 4 and under in only a 3 bedroom home, but it was worth it and so fun. My sister is a teacher (as is Patrick) and she came with tons of things to do with the kids. I laughed, though, because when she left, I asked Dawson what his favorite thing Jen did with them. I thought he would say Kenan's superman party, the gingerbread house, making ornaments for the tree or something like that. Nope, it was when she drew bad guys on our walls and trees with chalk so they could fight them! :) We had lots of fun with them.
Silas was determined to eat the salt ornaments. He would put it in his mouth and spit it out...but then eat it again.
All the names of the cousins...but when they were drying our nanny gave one to Silas to eat not realizing that they weren't really cookies. So Dawson only had half a W.
Kenan loved red
the boys going to save the day...all they need is underwear and sunglasses.
Riding on the motorcycle.
Silas learning from Bocar how to sweep the yard.
He LOVES this if you can't tell. He sweeps each morning and night with him.
Making the gingerbread house.
I told Jen we'd have no problem remembering where we spent this Christmas since all three boys are only in underwear. :)
Showing off their work.
Kenan ate a ridiculous amount of icing. He kept licking and licking, would ask for more and then lick some more.
Jen and I had an icing fight after the fact. Shelby Grace was not amused.
The little two after a bath
We went to the pig farm and had a great time.
When I see this picture of Jen, it reminds me of a famous person in a magazine. It's like one of those pictures you see when they catch them in their daily life, going shopping or whatever.
Zachary is so good for the camera. Sweet picture of Patrick and him.
always trying to get a picture with kids who never want to take them.
they were encouraging Brett to jump over the water. It was quite a jump.
He didn't make it.
Swimming at the pool. Dawson swam around and picked up every ball in the pool
Batman and Robin, showing off their muscles.
These will be blackmail pictures one day.
This one reminds me of one of the first pictures of the two of them together. see below
When they were babies. Ha! It was so funny to me, I kept it.
Going for their nightly ride from Bocar.
Getting ready to fight someone.
Playing at the construction site at the hospital. There are a ton more pictures that were taken this day but somehow they didn't make it onto my computer. ): Regardless, SG looks cute.
We love you guys! Thanks for coming! Hope you come back sometime!
Bring Silas' broom home. My house needs it. :)
