5 months!

I am getting to this post late in the day because we began our day at 4am this morning when Asher woke up with an ear ache. A trip to the walk-in clinic and pharmacy later, he is feeling much better. We worked on Christmas decorations today and I didn't even take these photos until an hour ago. I even forgot the frog photos. :( I guess such goes life with 4 babies! Wouldn't change a thing! :)

Caroline.....
You are wearing 6-9 month clothing, size 3 diapers, and take 4-5oz. bottles every three hours. The past 2 nights you have been sleeping 7-9hours through the night. Woohoo! You are such a good baby and so sweet. You are still a daddy's girl but are super sweet to mommy too. You love Asher and Leila. You are almost rolling over. In fact, when we put you to bed, you roll to your side to sleep. I love you, my darling!

You are such a good baby and so sweet. You love Asher and Leila so much. You are almost rolling over and have such strong legs. You are still in physical therapy once weekly. You make the funniest expressions with you face....your eyebrows are super expressive. It's precious! I love you, my sweet boy!

Look who's back.....

I'm not sure that he will make much of a difference. Leila disobeyed tonight, and when I fussed at her she told me that I was gonna be on the naughty list. What am I going to do with that girl?!

Let the fun begin!

What a great day! It's that time of year to get ready for the Christmas season and that is exactly what we did today. We went out to the Christmas tree farm with ALL of the kids and picked out our very 1st real Christmas tree. It was a lot of fun as you can tell by the photos. Cal and Caroline thought something was very funny! We cheered on the Hogs when we got home. They lost, but we are very proud of the season they have had! Mom called and offered to keep the twins, so we took the big kids to see Arthur Christmas. It was such a cute movie! On the way home, Asher said that he ate too much at the movie and wished there was such a thing as airing out your tummy because he would LOVE to do it! Ha! I'm so excited to get our house all festive tomorrow!

The Nina and the Pinta

We took the kids to see the ships when they were docked in Ft. Smith last weekend. It gave us the opportunity to begin talking about the first Thanksgiving and a chance to have a day with our sweet big kids!

Thanksgiving 2011

We started out the morning with a little cooking and a lot of parade. Leila especially loved the parade this year. She would scream out each balloon that was approaching, and we would all have to run into the room to watch her favorites. She and I may have even pretended to be Rockettes during part of the morning! I was really happy that she was so lively and excited because at 4am that morning, we thought we were going to have a sick little girl on Thanksgiving day. She made watching this years parade my favorite time yet!

Here are my little turkeys on Thanksgiving day...

Our 1st Thanksgiving as a family of 6! Not a perfect picture but a perfect representation of us!

Buffalo Dance

Asher had his Thanksgiving program at school today. I would love to show photos of the actual buffalo dance but we aren't allowed to post group photos of school events. I'll just say my little Jumping Bear was a great indian! I especially loved the kisses he blew us! Leila loved watching and Cal did too! Caroline was watching the back of her eyelids!
