Not a fan of road trips. Or maybe she was tired of being stuck in the car with a car-sick brother. This was after everyone else got to get out and run around while I cleaned up puke...she was not happy she didn't get to get out!

359/365
day three hundred fifty-nine.
A quick look at Christmas 2015- I was so excited- our area where the tree is gets fabulous light in the morning...except when there's a crazy thunderstorm on Christmas morning...
(His favorite present was a stuffed beetle to remind him of his beloved pet beetles that died this summer).
The giant hippo was a hit (with Evie too). And Liam just loved sorting things.

day three hundred fifty-seven.
Decorating cookies for Santa with the AC on...yuck.
She was begging (and being rewarded) for cookie dough.

Decorating went well...
P.s. If you want to make a four year old cry...eat the cookie he said was especially for Santa....

356/365
day three hundred fifty-six.
Wait in line for thirty minutes...and then we got approximately 30 seconds with Santa.
Evie screamed, Ellie was the only kid who actually sat and talked, "I'd like a giant hippo!" (and if you know how shy she is- it's a miracle she spoke to him!), Owen shouted "PANDA!" at Santa, Gavin didn't say a word, and Liam wanted nothing to do with Santa or Mrs. Claus. No one looked at me or the "real" photographer- and then Gavin cried that he was too shy to tell Santa what he wanted. Some day I'll have a nice Santa picture- or maybe not. If it wasn't so stressful to dress five kids (nice-ish) and stand in-line I'd give it another try, but I don't think it would go any better so we're cutting our losses.

up to no good.
caught.
(that's actually the face she makes when she realizes you're taking pictures of her- and then she scampers over to me to look at the pictures...)
and then a late afternoon snack with Sissy was what finally convinced Evie she could stop crying and whining (thanks to Liam for waking her up from her only nap after only an hour!)

day three hundred forty-nine.
Playdough making was worth it- they played with it all day long. Now if we can just keep Evie from eating it!

Holding hands with daddy before breakfast- and the next to the last leaf on the tree.

347/365
day three hundred forty-seven.
She had such a fun time at The Nutcracker (and the Sugar Plum Fairy Tea before hand). When we left Friday's school performance, she couldn't wait to come back..it was a fun girl's date- and when we came home she told Evie..."Oh I can't wait for you to grow up so you can come to the ballet with us!"

"Evie...please let me take a picture of your pretty dress before the ballet..."
Not a chance.
"Gavin! Help me by holding Evie so I can get a picture of her Nutcracker dress (after the disaster that was us at the ballet)!"
0 for 2.

343/365
day three hundred forty-three.
Falling apart. Pretty much our theme right now. "Put up a felt tree!" they said, "it will keep the little ones away from your big tree!"
Yes, that's her blowing a raspberry at that idea. She destroys the felt tree and then goes straight to the big one.
And then to just reiterate the crazy that is my house...
that's Evie walking around like she's big- Liam is in her high chair "because Me-Um is a baby today!" and the dog is drinking from Owen's milk cup...pretty much.

No fair. Left behind when they played out back.
And then she had to help with the dishes...

336/365
day three hundred thirty-six.
Gingerbread house day! Because finally the sun came out again!
The only size available in a nightgown that would match the big kids was a 2t so it's a bit big, but at least it doesn't trip her up!
And a fun- comparison!
