    Nativity. The kids have taken over the nativity and it always makes us smile and remember the reason for the season.

    After everyone went home we opened our new Christmas Jammies!

    1st Day of Christmas Vacation

    No Comments

    We got a few chores done Monday morning and then the kids were getting antsy and it’s cold outside and… I made a quick decision that it was a Trafalga day so we went at 11am and stayed until after 2:00 and wore everyone out.

    I broke the mirror on my van pulling into the garage >(

    Robertson Christmas Party 12/20/15

    No Comments

    We had a Robertson Christmas Party at Joel and Megan’s house. We had a fun/fancy dinner. First the adults SERVED the kids and then the kids served the adults. It ended up being super fun. Our Family, Joel’s Family, Ryan’s Family (15 kids) and Shannon, Sean and Jana (9 adults).

    They had fun ordering and then asking for lots of beverage refills 🙂

    And then it was our turn to be served…

    Somehow we convinced the kids to give us shoulder massages post dinner 🙂 and they sang and danced for entertainment.

    We ended the night with 2 tired babies.

    Gymnastics

    We went to watch cousin Julia do her gymnastics. The kids loved playing on the equipment there. Cali and Rose are interested in joining but I’m still holding out to make them soccer and basketball players like there momma!

    School Concert 12/18/15

    No Comments

    The kids sang with their classes for the school concert. They all really enjoy singing, especially when it’s Christmas songs!

    BUT my other children were so HARD!

    the gym was HOT

    Millie can’t sit still

    Ray was tired

    Rose is shy and emotional so if someone tries to help me she freaks out.

    EVERYONE HELPED ME and I still barely survived.

    Michelle took Tiago the ENTIRE time.

    Julie saved me a seat.

    Rebecca let the kids have more room back on her row.

    Strangers let Millie lean on them and push them and wipe sour patch stickiness on them.

    I love watching the older kids sing but I disliked trying to control the younger kids in that environment.

    Rose cannot get enough of this snow! She is living in her snow clothes. Even if no one else wants to go out with her!

    On Friday January 8th her older cousin Payton was here during a school day so she and Ray went out in the snow with him for a few hours:

    It’s been a cold winter but Rose is making the most of it.
