This holiday season was a whirlwind of FUN. Here is a quick summary. (With a few pictures thrown in. I'm afraid that whenever we get together as a family I rely on our resident photographers (my sister, Audra and sister-in-law, Jessie) to capture to moments.)
*My parents and Adam & Jessie cam to visit!
*Bowl games (some we would rather forget)
*LOTS of yummy food from Costco (which is every bit as good as homemade!!!)
*FHE together
*Homemade pizza
*Old movie obsession ("Swing Time", "Singin' in the Rain", "White Christmas".....)
*A wonderful program at church that David worked really hard to put together.
*David playing football (I think four different times!)
*homemade rolls, salmon, and a super-yummy salad on Christmas Eve.
*matching PJ's
*playing dodge ball, sharks & minnows, and gotcha
*hyper kids!
*lots of kisses from little Joshie.
*Games: "Ticket to Ride," "Apples to Apples," "Pit," and "Match Mate"
*A trip to "check out Athens". While we were there we met Dill Pickle the Alligator and saw the cutest little owls.
* Sore throats and headaches. :(
*Lydia's baptism
*re-reading the "Children of the Promise" series
Now I'm trying to face LIFE again and I have to admit it is not nearly as much fun. I'm suffering from the post-holiday blues (even though our holidays aren't technically over.) But unfortunately nothing quite measures up to Christmas.

Great wrap up! You included many things I forgot, especially Lydia's baptism. I think you've hit on a great way to quickly record events - the few-word summary.
Hope the sore throats and headaches will soon be over. Now, to plan and look forward to our next visit.
I LOVE that picture of Chloe! It's so sweet! And I know it's kind of a long way away, but here's what I'm looking forward to: our visit to Georgia in April! We should start planning for it now.
Aren't holidays with family the BEST?
I can't believe how big Chloe is getting! She's so dang cute!
WOW! You guys have sure been busy and had a LOT of fun! :) Way to go Lydia!:) That is so neat!! Chloe is adorable!! How nice I bet it was to have all of your family together (minus Abbi and Chad). :( But they will soon be there... for good! Thanks for all the pictures and update.
It was a great holiday.
Thanks for the shout out to Costco food!:)
Great Summary!!! Thanks for sharing. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
I think that sums up your holiday nicely. I am impressed with how you get your girls to match so often. Especially with the age ranges. They always look so cute. btw- You are looking great. You would never know you had 5 babies.
