Our Ginny smiles and sucks her thumb and smiles and sucks her thumb smiles and sucks her thumb.

We made Gingerbread houses with the Lamb family.

Halles collapsed so she turned it into a flat cat house.

Tj had some help making it, but he ate it all by himself.

Christmas in our pj's. Our holidays started on Christmas eve and my parents home. We had a white elephant gift exchange, finger foods Grandma Virginia read us some Christmas stories. Then we were off to bed. The kids were kind and let us sleep in until 730. Santa left the kids a scavenger hunt to find their big presents. After presents we were off to Grandpa Ken and Grandma Annies home for breakfast and more presents. We finished our day back at my parents home for more presents and games. Loved it but we were so very tired and ready to be home.

Tj opened his first present. Hot Wheels and he was done. Happy with one present, we had to force him to open the rest. ( Yes those are boxes, moving boxes.)

At the white elephant Halle got a Snuggie and she loves it.

We had some pictures taken of the kids since we skipped school on picture day and went to the fair. The group pic was just for funa and TJ refused to show his face. Ginny wasnt supposed to be in a picture but we threw her in. I think the photographer was done with us because she didnt get a very good one of Chloe or the baby.

Halle 11yrs old

Laney 6 1/2yrs old

Chloe 4yrs old

Tj loved Trick or Treating. He wanted to walk and he would point at the houses and say Go. When we got home he ate and ate and ate and ate candy. Bad parenting we know, but he was so cute.

The whole clan. My mom took the picture, not the best shot but it works. My mom said that me and Tony looked the Pilsbury Dough Boy Prisoners. Thats almost messed up, but our costumes did add a few pounds.

Our own Jack Sparrow. If you look close we painted his nails black.

Laney the Vampiress. We tried to get her to pick a girlie costume, but this was as close as we could get.

Little Red Riding Hood.

Not a Witch, but a Princess Witch.

Ginny our little Pumpkin.

Carving Pumpkins.

We went to Spooner farms for Chloe's pre-school fieldtrip.

Tj loved the puddles and the mud loved him. He made it till the very end and then bit it. He was totally alright with it. He got up and then found this puddle to stomp in.

Tj calls most animals doggies and he really like this doggie.

Me , Amanda, Clara, Audrey and the babies.

Grandma came to help with all my little ones.

The smiles have begun. I love how goofy the beginning smiles look on camera.

Cross eyes at our house is quite the past time. when the girls saw me taking pics of Ginny they decided to try and copy Ginny but Ginny stopped.

Ginny all dressed for church. She was such a good girl, she slept the whole time. 2 and half hours. I got a babysitter for the other kids. Church was actually enjoyable. I havent had that in awhile. I think I might go back.

Cousin (little) Will came to visit. It's not often that TJ has a boy to play with.
