here are some random pics from the last week or so.
some of the pictures are a little weird with the color.. I played around with my camera and found some cool stuff.
we did a live nativity on Christmas Eve.... It turned out good... Well, as good as could be expected with four children....
Then the kids woke up the next morning to a note from Santa! What a treat! (sorry its sideways..)
Annabelle tried a sardine and didn't like it. at all.
We went and saw Christmas lights, so that's not our house. It was one of those that go along with music. Surprisingly our Christmas lights are all taken down. I always thought we would be the people who left them up until the 4th of July....
Saturday the tree and all of the decorations came down. It was sad but so nice to have everything back in its place.
This was an awesome Christmas... I felt the spirit so much confirming that our Savior was indeed born and did die for us. How blessed and loved we are!
~Lots and lots and lots of love go out to all of our friends and family~
Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens.

(if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)
We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.
It was a lovely Sunday. The children played happily while I browsed the internet (I want to say I was looking at lds.org... but I wasn't) They were chattering with each other and I vaguely listened in the background of my head. It really was nice until Stephen said a naughty word~ to Emily. My lazy mind picked right up and I whipped my head around. "What did you just say" "I didn't know it was a bad word" "Yes you did. Otherwise you wouldn't be starting to cry right now" I felt just like the mom from that Christmas movie as I marched him right up the stairs and into the bathroom. Thank goodness I still buy bar soap. I stuck it right in his mouth and continued to lecture him about why we don't say those words and how those words hurt Heavenly Fathers feelings. I left the soap in for a full minute and he cried the whole time. And of course Trevor was standing around the corner smiling and smirking. But I was mad! And Stephen really di...
