The gang FINALLY got together!!!
Dear Abigail,
Yes Christmas day came and went, and you may have noticed that nothing was in there in regards to the gang. Well, a LONG time ago, we decided we'd do our Christmas on New Year's Eve AND in our brand spankin' new house! More on the house later BUT we finally moved on Thursday, Mommy had to leave town on Friday and on Saturday we threw a New Year's Eve party for the whole gang!!! We are indeed straight up crazy. No doubt. But that's just how we roll.
So the gang all came over around 6 where we had dinner ready for you kiddos AND you were all in your matching pajamas! Instead of matching Christmas outfits, this year we decided to do Christmas pajamas, which, if I do say so myself, was a fantastic idea! You guys ate and then played, or maybe vice versa, or really not much eating, just lots of playing. You guys hadn't seen each other in a VERY long time!
That poor playroom was already a mess with boxes everywhere, so after 4 toddlers ripped into it, well, let's just say it took awhile to organize. But look how much fun y'all are having! And how darn cute you kiddos look! Which brings us to the next event...
Pictures of all of you! We went with the big kids first, which turned out so cute...
And then we brought in the babies! Remember, we've got 3 babies, 6 months and younger, one only 2 weeks old!
Considering it was 7 kiddos, 3 and under, I think we got a pretty good shot! Or maybe the mommies have just lowered our expectations of pictures of all the kids!! Whatever the reason, you guys sure are cutie pies and love love love your little sister/brother.
After pictures, you and Ellie headed to your next 'party'! Mimi came and got you and Ellie and Kate and took you to our rental house for one last night stay, while the adults brought in the New Year adult style! You were very excited about your 'party at Mimi's' and very concerned that Ryan wasn't going with you! He was going to his K-k's with Jake and Grant was picked up by his Mimi. So Mimi got you all loaded in the car and headed to our house, but unfortunately you and Ellie both thought you were going to Mimi's house, so you were a little disappointed when you got to the rental place!! It's okay though because you weren't awake very long. You two shared an apple while Mimi fed Kate and then immediately went to bed, apparently with Mimi!!! What a great way to wrap up our holiday season and bring in the new year - with our bestests of friends!!
The next morning Mimi brought you guys over early enough for breakfast and everyone left after their bellies were full. We stayed in our jammies all day, trying to recover from staying up late and trying to unpack the million of boxes. Some of us were a little more worn out than others...
Yep, you fell asleep as you were playing your LeapPad! I'm pretty sure if I sat down I would have done the same thing!!
Merry Merry Merry Christmas and Happy Happy Happy New Year!!!! I love you so much and cannot wait to see what 2012 brings us!!! Love you!!!
