ode to christmas 2012.

we are still in total vacay mode over here.
my kids don't start back to school until next tuesday so i hardly know what day it is around here.

i'm currently curled up on the couch with my finny fan and we're watching narnia.
the house could stand to be picked up but this is better.

the house gets messy so. fast.
seriously, we pick it up and it's messy again in 30 minutes....i digress.

we had AJ home for an entire ten days. 
it was dreamy.
and i needed it bad.
november and december were pretty rough so ending them with my husband home for over a week was the best medicine.

sadly, i've been terrible at taking pictures lately.
i'm sad that i don't have any photos of our christmases with my family here in arkansas, but i do have pictures from our trip to kansas.
thankfully, our family in kansas took lots of pictures.




we have so much fun with AJ's family.
with six little boys, it is lively, for sure.




we love hanging out together so we always look forward to our time there.


we do lots of hanging out and talking and as much relaxing as you can do with eight young kids.
we try to get outside as much as we can to get wiggles out.









the boy cousins love playing together.
they never want it to be over.



these sweet little girlies will surely love each other too.





auntie jill gets her fill of kiddos when we're together. :)



so thankful that we all love each other and get along.
i am so blessed to have them for family.



it was a merry, merry christmas.  :)

  1. Those are some strong genes in your family! Look at the Grandpa/Daddy and cousin to cousin resemblances!

  3. What sweet memories! You'll enjoy these pictures even more as all the kids grow. It's so much fun to look back on all of the cousins together when there were little.
