Finally!

I had this great idea to give the kid's their blog books for Christmas.  Every year I print mine up and about a year and a half ago I started doing blogs for each of the kids instead of scrapbooks.  I love pictures, but I am not creative and my scrapbooks were very plain and I really didn't enjoy doing them.  Blogging is what works for me.  I was so excited to get them for the kids because they love looking through their scrapbooks.  I ordered them in plenty of time for Christmas and to make a long story short I just got them yesterday.  At first they only sent Wyatt's book, then they sent the books without all of the pictures in them.  It was a long frustrating process, but I finally have them!
It was probably better that they didn't get them on Christmas because they were totally focused on them and they loved them.  They spent a while looking through them.  I love taking pictures and blogging, but it is also a little bit stressful to keep up on it.  Watching them enjoy the books made it worth it.  I had a hard time putting ours down yesterday too.
This winter has been so cold.  We really haven't been outside in the past month.  The kids are getting really good at finding new things to play inside.  They had fun in this bed they made while I was mopping. 
Caitlyn is usually the instigator of what they play and how they play it.  Sometimes Jonah has strong opinions, but for the most part the boys just go along with her games. 
Hallee loves to watch the kids play and she loves it when they play with her.
Sunday was a crazy day.  We have church at 9 AM this year.  It is really hard to get out the door that early, but I love being home at noon.  This week we left early to go to my niece's blessing.  It was so fun and she looked beautiful!  Tessa and Hallee are exactly four months apart.  I'm so glad Hallee will have a playmate.  Shortly after we got home Keith had to leave for a fireside so I laid around with the kids and we watched a Veggie Tale movie.  We were all ready for some down time!
I love getting Hallee dressed on Sundays.  She has so many cute dresses and she always looks so cute!
Wyatt loves to run in Hallee's room when he hears that she is awake.  I will never get tired of hearing him talk in his sweet, baby talk voice to her.
Jonah loves Hallee.  I am still surprised at how much he loves babies and how good he is with them.  He has always been good with kids, but he loves to make babies smile.  Hallee loves all the attention he gives her.
Hallee is getting really wiggly and doesn't want to be held as much.  She is to the point where she wants to be entertained all the time. Luckily we have a lot of toys and three little helpers to keep her entertained.
Wyatt and Jonah love to play in the bubble bath.  They stayed in so long today that they were freezing when they got out and had to put on their robes and slippers.  I told them to smile and Wyatt said, "we are friends."  Love my boys.
