Christmas PJ Party! 

Elfy said Goodbye!

Cookie and Milk left overs from Santa! And because I love how scared my husband is of spiders so I added this one to our collection for the year. Tricks Always. 

Stocking were filled with special treats they don't often get at the store - Goldfish crackers, Cliff bars, Chips etc.

Traditions Continue - Hot Tub Time on Christmas! 

They don't get to enjoy the hot tub very often so it is always a special time. 

Coraline aka Blue Eyes

Clairana - growing up into a little lady so quickly.

The girls loved it! Where is Nephi!?
He decided to play on the zipline and entertain everyone while we were outside. 

Babysitting...

Because when you have more than three kids people start saying....

"Oh does the older ones raise the younger ones" 

Yep. I eat bon bons all day and let them raise them. 

Here is how well they do. I think they were each holding her for about ten minutes while I cleaned up the toy room. 

Christmas with the Ashby's!

Nick & Emily always host us before Christmas and they make amazing soup for dinner.

Robert Redford Cake - My first time making it. I remember my Aunt Jeanie used to always make it when we had family events. 

Levi & Aunt Emily with the two new/last cousin twins!

Babies Hanging Out. 

My baby brothers Nick & Tanner and my Dad Rick  

Christmas with Jack & Rene!

Jack and Rene (Levi's Aunt & Uncle) came over and shared the Christmas spirit. 

It was like Mr. & Mrs. Claus! 

It is so fun to have one-on-one time with them each year during the holidays. 

Uncle Jack & Coraline - I don't think she moved all night. 

Clairana made up a song with the bells for them. 

Checking out Cecily's new toy!

How cute is this picture!!? All Smiles. 

ADORABLE!

Nutcracker with Clairana

 As part of Clairana's Christmas she got a date night ticket to the Nutcracker with just me! 

She was super excited and it was very sweet - she picked out her outfit and packed her night out bag days before we were going to go. 

She brought her journal to take notes and draw pictures to remember the night.

Dinner was Chick-fila which included sharing a shake. 

Long Center Downtown Lafayette
Can you believe it was 49 degrees in January!

She got to pick out a Nutcracker as a special addition to the night. 

Trying to hurry and take a picture before the show started - they don't allow photos but it was amazing.
Our seats were in the middle of row E which was so close to the stage and the place was packed!

Cecily - 2 Months Old!

Cecily Edithe Evans

She is growing slowly but surely....

Weight - 9lbs 15 oz (8th percentile)

Height - 23" (57th percentile)

BMI - 13.22 (2nd percentile)

She is doing great, I am nursing her on demand mostly because she is on the smaller side but other than that she is growing and healthy. 

Our pediatrician is not concerned and there is no need to supplement just making sure to nurse often. 

Jeep Life

Levi invited a new family from church over for smores and Jeep rides (last week the weather was amazingly warm) - he wanted to make sure that the creek wasn't too high before they came out. They just purchased a Jeep and so they brought theirs along too.



Boys and Big Jeeps.

Gingerbread Houses

 Every year the Wallace family (my aunt and uncle) get our family a gingerbread house. 

It is such a fun tradition and then we go over to my brother's house we get to see theirs too. 

This year we got a gingerbread village. 

Everyone got to decorate their own little house. 

They are always so proud of their houses.
