Christmas morning picture! I forgot to mention the night before the kids opened one present from a sibling (we stopped doing Christmas jammies the night before because some people like to sleep in old shirts or their underwear.) Matthew is holding the present he received. Also, all the kids (besides the baby) sleep downstairs. Rob tucked them in, so I'm not sure if they slept in Michael's room, or the main room.
Zachary immediately put on his BYU hat from Santa, and was thrilled to find, not the two candy canes he asked for, but 4 candy canes! And some tools, cuz he loves helping dad.
Makayla was thrilled that Santa brought her exactly what she asked for (maybe she makes the most reasonable requests?) A beanie boo and a sticker-by-number book. She wanted a picture with last year's beanie boo and this years. She decided she's going to ask for one every year for Christmas.
Emma was a happy baby on Christmas. She loved all the excitement.
What are sippy cups?
The twins got new scooters (the wheels light up! you know, incase you are riding in the dark?)
Christopher and Michael were thrilled Santa brought them laser tag! What's funny is Michael happened to have alot of money right before Christmas and bought Christopher a really nice present (maybe he was hoping he'd share?) And Christopher was trying to think of a nice present Michael would like (instead of the usual dollar store item). Christopher told me "what about laser tag?" We said "oh, it's too expensive" and showed him some examples online. He chose something else and they laughed that morning.
Our brown bear, brown bear book needed to be replaced, so Santa brought Emma a new one. Doesn't she look like a present with that bow on her head!
She also got baby spoons (we were down to 3 rough baby sized ones) and baby food and sippy cups
Emma's first taste of rice cereal was hilarious!
I don't know about this...
Are you sure we are supposed to eat this?
She didn't mind it mixed with fruit, or, per her pediatrician's recommendation at her 4 month check up, to stir in some peanut butter! When the other kids were babies it was recommended to not give peanut butter until they were a year old because they could develop an allergy. Now they suggest to give them peanut butter while they are young so that they don't develop an allergy to it. Also, when Christopher was a baby, you could have their carseats facing forward once they were a year old. Then, when Makayla was a baby they changed the age to 2 years (we turned her around when the twins were born, when she was 21 months old, since we moved her to the back seat.) Now they recommend they stay rearfacing until they are 4 years old! We aren't switching Zachary back, but Emma will probably be closer to 3 when we change her. (our carseat goes to 35 lbs rearfacing)
