Transportation Day!

First, a trip to the Museum of Flight with our neighbors...

Then we built the Lego Train Carter got from Nana & Papa for Christmas...

Would you believe more Christmas?

Yep, more Christmas today.  My mom's side...
Grandma & Grandpa with all 7 kids...

 Auntie Naomi adores Valerie...

and invites others to join her!

Look what I got for Christmas!

Lots of boys...

Isabel hands out gifts, Henri's glad!

Grandma eavesdropping on the girls talking about her.

The Holy Family

Finally...

Merry Christmas!

The Holy family pics are coming, they are at my parents' house, getting them in about an hour.  Hopefully this will tide you all over...

Yes, I love dressing my children alike and taking pictures.  It's cute! 

Valerie's ready for Santa.  Luckily Carter reminded me to put their pajamas on, I had the babies already dressed in regular pajamas.

A snack after church...

Santa came! (Mom can't believe all the gifts fit in the stockings!)

Santa had a snack.

Carter opening his stocking 

Henri with his bath crayons from Santa.  He kept getting distracted by chocolate while opening his stocking.

Valerie loved watching all the activity.

Check out her baby Uggs from Santa!  Sad part is they are newborn size and are still a little big!  The headbands however need to be returned as they are way too small for her head.

Checking out the tables from Nana & Papa

With her new shoes from Santa.  That fall off because she has teeny tiny feet.

Valerie Rolls!

Finally caught her!  She's mad because she's done this trick about 5 times without me having my camera handy...

Can't believe she's 5 months old now.  That 4th month kind of blew by!

Baby Jesus

They can't possibly have a taller baby and have it still fit in the manger.  Valerie only fit diagonally.  We put her in sleepy and she fell fast asleep and stayed that way all of rehursal.  The pictures of Paul and I also in costume come Christmas.

Adventures!

Wow, over a week since I updated?

On the 19th, we went to Carter's Friend's party.  It was at a huge bounce place and little Henri was climbing up the huge slide by himself, little stinker!  We had wonderful Indian food (ok, I did, the kids were busy bouncing).

Carter's been off school, so Monday we went out to Azteca with Jane, my HS Spanish teacher (the bill & parking lot was much better than Olive Garden!).  She loved hanging out with the kids.

Tuesday we headed to Pacific Science Center with Christine and her 3 kids...

Then we headed to the Bellevue Children's Museum

Valerie also started rolling this week.
