Here's the last 2 weeks!

Despite if the mom feels good or not, life with 4 kids must go on, right!?!?
I'm really looking forward to the next two weeks/with the kids and fam/holiday/vacation/not paid. Seriously, no dentist/ortho appts/school/dance/appts/church act./carpooling/etc. Just stayin in and relaxin. Which is what I should've been doing the last 2 weeks anyways. But hey, those of you that do know me so well, know that I'm always running late. (That should be a great New's Year goal!)

Gingerbread house contest at Grandma & Grandpa Brower's. Ours is still standing even after the ride home from Lehi, thanks to the engineering genius in our family (a.k.a. Brad).


Christmas did get put up the weekend of Thanksgiving. Thanks to the 3 hours I guess I had to spare just putting up the tree and lights. Then the 10 minutes it took the kids to put the ornaments on. Thank goodness they are all at different height levels so it looks a little even. But hey, if anyone has a prelit tree they are dying to get rid of, I just might be willing to trade.










































I love our ornaments, they are all homemade!


This is what's going on post-surgery. The kids and Brad have been so good to help around the house and do whatever is asked. It does help that the elves are also watching.

Addie found out vacuuming could be a workout.







Taggert probably does a better job than I do.





















And here's why they are all cleaning!
