Alot of Emmit the last two months!

Emmit sort of stole the camera shots these last few months!

8 month pic. Here he had bottom two teeth and now at almost 9 months he has top two as well!

Lyla and her Pinkie Pie that she got at a friends birthday party at Build A Bear Workshop.

Trying to get a picture of Emmit's top two teeth!

Three snow days this winter! Pretty great but now I am READY for spring!

Lincoln playing basketball. He was thrilled to make a couple baskets this year!

December

A warm day in December. It has been really cold here this month so I am glad we got out this day!

Decorating the tree!

Lyla got to do the star this year.

Lincolns Christmas program.

Lylas Christmas program. She sang all the songs and did all the actions. Big change from last year when I don't think she opened her mouth once! She seems to be alot more outgoing this year. She also recently informed us, "I looove boys." We were sitting at the table playing a game, and out of the blue not kidding you with a dreamy expression and voice! The kids had just watched Despicable Me 2 at a sleepover with their cousins so hoping it came from that.:) It definitely caught us a little off guard!

Gp and Gm came to watch! Dad, you will be glad to see I did not cut your head off on this pic.:)

Batwoman!

Lincoln's school Christmas party. I was glad to be able to help so I could meet his classmates.

Emmit was really enjoying sitting on the end of the couch!

Lyla's Christmas program. Thankful I got to go to this one too since I missed out on her parties last year.

Playing with Irelyn in our backyard. We got a white Christmas!

Christmas at home

She made her own crust from my scraps!

New logos! It was so nice to have time to play with all the new toys- and old ones too! Matt took off alot of the time that the kids had off and was glad "I finally let him have a vacation at home!" Usually I like to go places but I really did enjoy staying home and bumming it up. I think there was like 4 consecutive days that no one left the house and I didn't even go stir crazy. Don't know what's happening to me.:)

Tofteland Christmas. Uncle Nate loaded up all the kids in his van and took them sledding!

Abby and Lyla

Ethan and Lincoln. Ethan went all by himself!

Irelyn

Lyla and Ethan

Christmas Eve service.

So sweet to see them reading/singing Christmas carols.

The kids got to participate in the service...even the candlelight part. A little scary but we made it through without any disasters- phew!

Tutu's!

Much happier after the dress clothes and shoes came off!

I let the kids kids sleep on the floor over Christmas break because they really like doing this together and usually only get to do it on weekends. Toward the end of the break I found them like this in Lylas bed. Guess they got tired of the floor! Funny to me that they slept so well with their legs hanging off like that!

Lincoln often makes Emmit laugh! This time he was jumping over Emmit. I usually say no to this, but let him do it for awhile because Emmit was laughing so hard!
