Wow, what a fun week! It went by so fast, and was packed with so many great memories! We had the Worsts over on Monday before Christmas to do some cookie decorating. The two youngest got to hang out while the mommas worked out and the big guys played. Adorable!
Group shot on the couch!
Then on Tuesday evening, we had the neighbors over for more cookies and dinner. I only took 1 picture. This is the result when you forget to monitor Sam's pouring...
On Christmas Eve morning we awoke to do some quick little family presents (the siblings had gotten each other gifts and had picked out a few for mom and dad). Noah helped the brothers coordinate in Christmas colors!
We dropped Ellie off in Burr Ridge and then headed to Chicago Ridge to hang with the Mionis!
As always, the boys were SPOILED with some awesome gifts they had been hoping for!
Christmas morning we woke up at my parents house for even more gifts. Noah got his coveted Iron Spiderman.
Isaac got lots of noisy button toys, which he LOVED!
Ellie was less than thrilled about the arrival of Zoomer, the robot dog.
A 6:30am wake up results in necessary napping on the couch.
Are you really sleeping daddy?
Sam LOVES Zoomer!
You too, Uncle Josh?
Christmas day we headed back home for 24 hours of recovery and playing with new toys!
On Friday we headed back to Burr Ridge for a fun weekend with extended family. My parents and Pops and JoJo bravely offered to stay at the house with 8 children while the other adults got hotel rooms nearby!
Friday night involved a cooking competition which Kim/Joe and Marcia/Cello came over to judge. It was anything cooked in a muffin tin.
There was kid Jeopardy put on by Josh, Brian and Dan. They even wired up remotes and had a TV display!
We celebrated December/January birthdays!
Adult Jeopardy which I somehow managed to win after being down -$5000!
We weekend was filled with lots of cousin love!
Noah and Sam hosted a dance off complete with categories like best robot and best booty moves!
On Saturday we did a variety of projects (Bears Scarves, etc) and went swimming at the hotel!
Giant Jenga was also a huge hit!
I snuck away Sunday morning to meet up with some high school friends for breakfast!
It was a jam packed awesome week of fun! Now we lay low this week and recover!
