Catchup

My sister and some friends have been nagging me to get back on my blog, so Tiff this is for you! We had an excellent Christmas! Lots of food, presents and visits from family. Matthew's brother and his family came to see us. They introduced us to a new game called Acquire, lots of fun! If you have never heard of the game look it up! Matthew's sister also came to stay with us during New Years. It was wonderful seeing parts of our extended family!

For Christmas Matthew made the kids a train table. I have been bugging him about a train table for months and Matthew would alway retort that he could make a table better than those in the stores. I asked Matthew to prove it....luckily he did! The table is great! The kids love it and play with it every day.

We made gingerbread cookies for Santa. We had a lot of fun decorating them and I think it will become a tradition for us.

School is once again in full swing. Kanayla started the year out with a loose tooth. She should lose it very soon and I will try to post pics of her missing tooth smile!

Xavien started sunbeams and the adjustment is moving slowly. He is actually handling sunbeams much better than I expected.

Ivie decided to take a header out of her crib. Luckily the first fall was hard enough and scary enough that she hasn't tried to climb out again. We knew she could climb out (Ivie is our child that has climbed the piano, computer desk and counter without any help at all) but now she knows why she shouldn't climb out of her crib especially in the dark!
