Christmas in July, Part 1b
Oops, here are a few more pics that I accidentally left out of the last post!
Christmas in July, Part 1!
I am finally getting around to posting our pictures from Christmas! Part 1 is Christmas Eve. Since we don't live near family (or at least we didn't last Christmas!) we usually spend Christmas with friends.
Our friends, the Park family, has an annual tradition of doing a sing-a-long Nativity every Christmas Eve. This year the quints were old enough to participate.Rustin and Ryder were shepherds, Kassidy, Kaydence, Kyndall and Kaiya were all angels and Riley was Joseph.
We spent Christmas Eve with the Woods family. I don't believe in cooking on Christmas day, so we have our big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve.
The kids all get to open one present on Christmas eve and it is always new PJ's. The present opening is followed by lots of pictures in front of the tree :-)
My favorite Christmas Eve picture tradition is the "pile" picture!

The Adult/Older kids table---decorating the table is almost as much fun as eating the dinner!
Christmas dinner---Yum! One of my favorite things about doing dinner with the Woods family is that I get to make all the fun stuff (rolls, jello, etc) and she makes the other stuff :-)
The kids table
Kaydence was sick Christmas Eve and spent most of the night on the couch---poor little thing!
While we cleaned up from dinner, the kids played games on an iPad---I thought this picture of Rustin leaning on Calvin's head was so cute!
Group shot---Woods and Wilkinson Families!
We finished the evening together by singing Christmas carols, then headed home to get ready for Santa.

The whole family
My favorite Christmas Eve picture tradition is the "pile" picture!
This one is a bit blurry (one of the downsides to timer pictures!), but I liked it the best because you can see everyone.
Pile pic, 2nd attempt---less blurry, but one kid can't be seen---can you figure out which one it is??
One more family pic, then time for family prayer, cookies for Santa and BED!

Capture the Joy...In Front of the Lens
My good friend and favorite photographer Kristen Duke is starting a link up get-together to encourage people to not just TAKE pictures of their family, but to actually get IN pictures. I know I am much more comfortable behind the lens then in front of it, so I thought this would be a great way to make sure I am a documented part of our family history! Also, I have been so busy lately that blog posting has gotten shoved to the bottom of my to-do list (which I am so sad about because I really love blogging!) With this weekly get-together, I figure I can at least get one quick post in a week, and hopefully I will be able to tackle some longer posts in the near future!
This picture was taken on Sunday, Mother's Day, by my friend Cassaundra. My mother's day was awesome, probably one of the best ever! If you haven't seen it already, scroll down and check out the video my hubby and kids made for me for mother's day---it is adorable :-)

I love how individual each of the kids are---they want to pick out their own clothes (or pj's as is the case in this pic) and they are in that really independent phase. I think it is important to encourage independence, so if that means that Ryder wears Christmas jammies in May and Rustin's top and bottom don't even come close to matching, so be it!

Kindergarten Round-up!
I signed the kids up for Kindergarten today! I can't believe my "babies" are going to school next year! They are so excited! It took over an hour to fill out the amazing amount of paperwork times five, but it was soooo worth it :-) Only 158 days until the first day of school!!
Ryder, Kassidy, Rustin, Kyndall and Kaydence outside the school. (If they look less than excited it was because I made them take a picture in the super-bright sun before we went in)
