Last Friday was one of my favorite days! The day began with a trip to the outlet malls with Mackenzie for midnight madness! I seriously got almost of my Christmas shopping done in one trip, amazing, and I got awesome deals so it made it even sweeter! We got home at about 2am which surprisingly wasn't to bad the next day! That next day was so fun with the kiddos, it seemed like the first real day of the Christmas season! We had our usual Pizza Friday, but this time I let them sit in the living room and watch the Polar Express! It was so fun and they felt so big since they got to eat pizza in the living room, watch a movie, and stay up late all in one night! They were so sweet! It had started snowing really hard while they were watching the movie so when it was over we told them we had a surprise...we had them all walk over to the door and opened it so they could see the snow. Christian literally started screaming "it's snowing, it's snowing, Santa's coming!" The other 3 joined in the scream fest and Gentry kept asking "is Santa coming tonight?" We had to crush the dreams of Santa coming that night, but the next day we woke up played in the snow for about 3 hours! Exhausting and yet one of my favorite time with the kids! It was so fun, and I am cherishing having all the cousins grow up so close together, it is really special!!!!

Hey Ash,
I finally found your blog! I love it and went through the entire first page just now! Your family is so precious...I loved the story of Jeff coming home. Ah, melt my heart. And Gentry was cuter than ever. Have a great week and I am so excited for Friday
