Welcome 2012!!

 Felix finally started to appreciate the birthday favors from Story's party.

 This is when I had 5 kids one afternoon. It was surprisingly easy. They were all really chill.

 Jer is in Jr. Jazz. We struggled to capture the game though...

 He was just too crazy fast.

 Story and Felix LOVE to take baths together. Felix laughs the instant they get in.

 Gauge apparently felt left out cause he climbed in himself and played for a long time.

 Then a few days later Felix did the same thing.

We won a gingerbread house at my work party and for weeks I meant to let Story do it, but kept forgetting. Kyle even threw it away. But I dug it out and let them decorate it. Story was entertained for hours.

 And of course we played lots of D&D. Here is Kaleral the evil guy we defeated:

 This is us defeating him. We're so awesome.

 This is me coming in to save the day.

 Here's a close up of how beautiful I am in D&D.

 

 And here's Felix flipping off the camera.

Happy January!

Micky D's

Is Felix's new favorite place. 

New Dress

I had all but given up on sewing for myself, but I had to have this dress. So I tried one last time, and I am pleased with it!

Merry Christmas!!!

 Wendy invited us to Christmas Eve again, which was wonderful. Much more fun than us two staring at Felix and eating fast food. Shauna and Matthew came too.

 Felix couldn't wait to open presents and stole this car off the top of his present from the Coplens.

 Dinner was awesome. Almost as awesome as dessert, which was red velvet bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes, which is AMAZING!!!

 Look how hard at work we sisters are. I'm pretty sure I'm not actually doing anything.

 Jamie made this amazing chocolate tree for Wendy.

 I love that this picture captures Felix's absolute delight in Jeremy.

 Wendy was amazing and got us this game that we ruined in the flood that was out of print. She found a pdf and printed, cut out. and laminated the entire thing for us!

 I knew Wendy would love her pajama jeans :)

 Jer got a skateboard. And yup, Felix has already fallen off of it and smacked his head.

 Felix got a garbage truck from the Coplens which he LOVES, and Jess got him a super cute hoodie, which I LOVE.

 Jess got jewelry and nail polish.

 Jen got Lil Wayne stuff. Kyle cackled when he saw her open it. He thought it was a joke. But no, she REALLY REALLY loves him.

 This is Felix's loot on Christmas morning.

 This is as close to a smile as it got, cause his presents were very serious business.

 He stayed quite occupied while we opened the two or three presents we hadn't already opened before Christmas.  Isn't he so surprised? Even though it got sent to his work and he opened it there?

 Andy got this for Felix!

 And this is how the rest of the morning went:

 

 This is the next day. He wouldn't let go of his new car even to eat (btw, he got EIGHT new cars for Christmas and LOVES them all).

 He didn't even let it go when he was being SO helpful when I was trying to put the tv stand together.
