Those these pictures are from now back to November. I could have changed it around but I am way to lazy and have laundry calling my name. It has been a busy 3 months... I am sure like everyone else's with the holidays and stuff.
Brett and I on Christmas Eve at my folks.
Lydia got her first Christmas present from a boy this year. She was so excited and we all got to choose only one piece of chocolate from HER box.
My kiddos on Christmas Eve in their Christmas Jammies at my parents house. I love my mom's gay pride rainbow tree. Evelyn broke a brace bracket on Christmas Eve and the Ortho dr. had us come in that evening at 7:30. Instead of fixing the bracket he took her braces off. An early Christmas present for Evie.
Jake turns 5! Just 2 days after Christmas. I feel so bad for people who have Birthdays right after Christmas. People are tired of parties and cake and spending money... even me! Poor Kid!
Evelyn turned 11 right around turkey day. She is getting so big. We just cut and colored her hair for the first time. Her braces are now off and she just looks so much older then 11. We are having some tuff times at school this year with girls being mean. After all the anti-bullying campaigns... this is still going on. It makes me so sad. We preach to our kids love everyone for who they are. Don't judge! But still we have kids who can't love everyone. I have always taught my kids to respect everyone and love unconditionally. Evelyn's teacher this year said that Evelyn is nice to everyone. She gives the same respect to one kid as she would give to her best friend. It makes me wonder how much of the kids who bully and are mean is coming from how they were raised. My heart aches for her... it's just the beginning.
