A Nice Diversion

I have been studying and studying for finals this week. My brain is starting to turn to mush so I thought that maybe I would post some pictures instead. :) Christmas seems to be sneaking up on me! I have so much to get finished. If I can just get my school work done, I may be able to start focusing on FUN STUFF!

We decorated the house and put up the tree this past week. It is looking so nice and festive. The kids can't seem to get enough of playing outside. Even when the temperatures took a nose dive, they just bundled up and went out anyway. Here are some shots from the week...

Ammon (11) takes out day one of our Advent Calendar
Bekah (13 months) is very interested in the tree. I am more concerned for when presents go under that tree. We have had a few incidents in the past of toddlers ripping presents open weeks before Christmas.
Emma (4) helps set up the tree
Our beautiful, wonderful Hannah Bay
Almost finished!
I discovered a timer on my camera. Fancy that, lol!
Jumping on the tramp in 40 degree weather (Hannah and Lizzie)
I love winter clothes. So cute!
The only problem with my two tramp set-up is that Caleb gets upset when he can't jump with the big kids.
Lizzie (7), his second mother, consoles him. He is almost as big as she is!

I love how you gathered all your family together to take the picture, that is something I would do. But I would get lots of grumbles if I did that. Did they all cooperate nicely?

I loved how you gathered all your fam for the photo. I try stuff like that and usually get a few grumbles:)

So cute!!! I love that sad picture of Caleb... something about when little kids are pouting is just adorable, LOL! But happy pics are good, too, of course! :-)

Glad you were able to find something to let your brain decompress for a while - good luck with your exams! :-)
