crosby and delilah

My mom, my sister and I and Crosby and Delilah went out on Thursday morning to get some half price Christmas decorations. Here are the babies in the car.

One sleeping baby and one awake baby.

After we went shopping we met Adam, Rory, Gage, Piper, Pappy, Maw Maw and Sam for lunch. Crosby and Delilah spent the meal throwing all of their toys on the floor and trying to steal a comb from each other.

Some pictures from Christmas at my parents' house.

Rory opening her new locket.

Gage with his new robot book.

Crsoby with his new book,  Hippopoppsites. We've had this book from the library before. It's just a board book about opposites with pictures of hippos. For some reason the kids all love it, even Gage and Rory who are too old for it. Rory, Gage and Piper have it memorized.

Crosby with his new piggy bank.

Piper with her book and chalkboard box. She's been waiting for one of these. The box has a chalkboard on one side and a dry erase board on the other - you keep your chalk and crayons inside. The older kids both have one and Piper loves using them. I'm not sure what she is looking at since she was posing for this picture.

Gage's new trucks.

Opening a present.

Piper and Delilah got matching crowns in their stockings.

Hanging on Uncle Noah.

Playing with new toys.

Crosby with his stacker.

Piper's baby carrier.

A Christmas baby.

The kids got a marble run as a group gift. It has all kinds of different things that you can build any way you want and they got an accessory set to go with it. They all love it. They've been spending tons of time playing with it.

Navigating the mess.

One of Gage's gifts from Pappy and Maw Maw. He has this same stuffed animal in giant size. Its name is Buggy Shoody Gumdrop. He found this one at a zoo in May and has wanted one ever since. He named it Super Baby.

Rory modeling a hat and an apron from Pappy and Maw Maw.

This is one of Piper's gifts from Pappy and Maw Maw - a sparkly purple dog purse. Rory has a blue one and Piper really wanted a purple one.

Crosby got bibs from Pappy and Maw Maw.

Presents from Santa. The kids get one toy, a book, a stocking and a group gift for Christmas each year. This year they all got their toy from Etsy. Rory got a set of matryoshka dolls (she's been wanting some for a long time), Gage got a ping pong ball gun, Piper got a purple baby doll carrier and Crosby got a wooden stacker with his name on it.

Piper opening her stocking. It is very hard to get a picture of her with her eyes open. Any time I have to use the flash she blinks. She is very glad that Santa knows her favorite color and got her lots of purple stuff, but she still doesn't like him.  (For any one who doesn't know, Piper hates Santa. She says she doesn't want him to come in her house and she doesn't like him and he wears red all the time and she doesn't need any toys because she already has toys. A few days before Christmas she started saying that she hated him and that she wanted Adam to bring her presents instead because she likes him better.)

I wanted to make sure I  got pictures of Crosby on his first Christmas, but I seem to have gotten carried away and got way more of him than anyone else.

Another one of Piper with her eyes closed. She wanted a picture with her new purple car.

Crosby eating his unopened binkies.

Gage with his chocolate bar.

Opening books. Crosby had bright orange lips from trying to eat the tissue paper that his was wrapped in.

pajamas

Every year on Christmas Eve the kids get a new pair of pajamas. Here are this year's.
