Easter 2013

Every year we meet up with my friends and do the easter egg hunt in Philomath. I had the small three for the 1-3 year olds. Todd took Justin to the older kids hunt. 

Ready for the hunt! 

Devin went with Erin's Mom and did well, didn't cry at all :)

Opening up our stockings.

Lots of goodies.

Hat and scarf.

We attempted to get a group shot...little hard with 6 little ones all NOT wanting to sit still. 

Christmas Eve with Grammy June and the whole family!

I should note that this trip was a doozie. We had a plan to spend 9 days in California visiting. There was a storm that closed I-5 and places in between and after the pass. We decided to make a go of it, but then decided to detour....we drove to the coast and down 101 then back up to get there. Normally an 8 hour trip took us 15, but we made it! 

Wow, Christmas Eve at Grammy June's was a blast. Grammy had lots of stuff for the boys, Paints below and of coarse hours on the Quad. 

Painting with Aunt Meghan

We did this a lot! 

Gifts Galore from the whole family. We were squished going home in the van! Kids loved it! 

December post 1

Justin's first time sitting with Santa. We went to storybook land for school (I was able to volunteer)....it was super fun and then we went as a family later in the week with friends Larry and Amy. 

So, yes you can see Preston is sitting in the rag drawer playing with silverware. 

Dare devil. Ya think I can drive the car off the couch?

We did Christmas early with Papa! 

Lots of Legos

Who likes the legos better? Hhhmmm.
