Christmas in Reno-Part III

Caden and Avery--intensity on the iPad! They are working so hard.

Possibly my favorite picture. Big hugs with Jane and Madelynn. So stinking cute, I don't even know what to say. I was scheming a way to bring Madelynn home with us all week.

Christmas day--ready for church!! Lily looks like a Princess to me...she almost always does. I just really really adore my kids!

Avery checkin out her giraffe-up close and personal!

Anna on Christmas morning "what the heck is going on?!". She's quite possibly the sweetest baby ever. Darrin was scheming a way to bring Anna home all week!

Christmas in Reno-Part II

Connor and Jane bright and early Christmas morning...waiting for our presents!!

My gorgeous kids...stockings stuffed to the rim. Notice Lily's dog at the top. She gets some sort of dog every holiday. I don't even want to know how many stuffed dogs this kid has now, and she NEVER gets sick of them.

Christmas Eve cousins.

Lily and Naomi...BFF

Three silly girls, ready for bed---but not ready to sleep.

Christmas in Reno--Part I

Yes, I know it's March...but if I started blogging things on time, everybody would assume the world was ending. We had the funnest Christmas ever!! We went to Reno, where we could have Christmas with the whole Crocker clan--we haven't had a Christmas with all 4 siblings in about 4 years. It was so wonderful to spend time together and watch all of our children play like crazy with their cousins. It was totally amazing and made me realize, again, how sad I am that we don't all live in the same place. Maybe some day. I took TONS of pictures and rifled through to pick which ones to share. Should take about three posts...enjoy!


Lawson and Anna having a blast on the "major chair" (that's what Lawson dubbed it). Avery gettin in on the action at the bottom.

Lily and Naomi making adorable Christmas tree necklaces. Grandma Lori is the coolest grandma ever and had tons of crafts for the kids to work on throughout the week. This was just one of many.

Connor and Anna snuggling on the couch. Look at those 4 gorgeous eyes!!

As you can imagine, the kids spent a great deal of time playing Wii. I love Anna trying to worm her way into the game, so darling.

Lily and Naomi playing "restaurant". This was Lily's favorite game. Basically they just walked around taking orders and making food for people. It was pretty adorable, especially when they would post a sign on the refrigerator when they were "on break"!
