Christmas and Ben's 4th birthday

We've had a lot to celebrate over the past week with Christmas and Ben's birthday. Here are a few (too many) pictures from it all. They are out of order, mostly b/c I was too lazy to upload them properly. Sorry!

Here are the kids after their "Salt Lake City" Christmas where they got these cool jammies from their grandparents and the toys from their cousins. Thanks everyone!

We have some streakers in the neighborhood. Jake and Issy have taken to stripping down. The first time it was kinda funny and I broke out the camera. The second time it wasn't so funny and she has been threatened that there better not be a next time...


Noah intently working on his gingerbread house on Christmas Eve and his final product.


Noah has been a coloring maniac lately. He can't get enough images to make brighter.

Rob assembling the gingerbread houses ahead of time. We hot glued them to the milk cartons...makes it easier for little hands to spread frosting and decorate.

We spent Christmas morning with my parents on Skype. It was so nice to have them "with" us for Christmas.

All the kids on Christmas Eve with their creations.

Issy loved "decorating" her gingerbread house too. First she'd lick it them gleam with delight.



Switching to birthday party mode (two days after Christmas), here is Ben blowing out his candles. I think someone was about to snatch the candles off the cake and Hayden and Noah and trying desperately to stop the culprit.

Calvin as the Hulk. Nice abs for a 3 year old.

The kids decorating their superhero shirts. We had a superhero theme. Ben was, at first, the Hulk, but switched to Spiderman later on.


Isabella on Christmas morning with her new kitchen and dress up clothes. She is so girly, loves to cuddle and soooo cute.

All in all, we've had a nice couple of days. I hope your Christmases were magical too.

It looks like we've been missing out on some good times and some good weather. Snow is so overrated.

I wouldn't worry too much about the streaking. I pretty sure none of Rob's sisters owned shirts until age 6 or 7. They put on streaking parades for the neighborhood daily and most them still turned out kinda normal.
