Grandma shows Mackenzie the new see-saw!Well, this has been one of the busiest Christmas seasons!!! Being a mother at Christmas time equals work! This work includes, decorating, shopping for gifts, hiding gifts, wrapping gifts, setting out gifts, trying to find a place to store the new toys in my already busting at the seams house! And 3 kids at Christmas, means triple the presents! I still enjoyed every aspect that encompasses the Christmas season from the family slumber party, baking sugar cookies, visiting Santa, looking at Christmas lights, shopping alone with Chad, setting out Santa, watching our kids see what Santa brought, visiting with family...it was quite a season! I look forward to it every year, and I also somehow crave normalcy. And, after spending the whole day yesterday taking every Christmas decoration down, I'm almost feeling normal. We're all feeling a little sad that it's over but we're on getting ready for Mackenzie's 1st birthday, so that will be a lot of fun for the whole family!

Loved to see all those pictures. Alyssa is missing her two front teeth now too, it took some getting used to, but I think she is so cute. I don't like that I can already see one of the big ones pushing in. Glad you are all doing well and Happy Birthday to Mackenzie.
Great pics Andi. You all were definitely surrounded by family, love, gifts and fun... and what more could you ask for... except for a clean and organized house at this point ;) Ha! Happy new year to you all~ see you soon!
Wow! I've never seen so many grandkids on stairs at a time! No doubt you guys run out of table space. With that large of a family, someone's going to end up on the floor. ha ha I just wish my kids had cousins to enjoy the holidays with. I'm beginning to think it will never happen.
