12 Days til Christmas!!!

And 14 days til I see my family!  Woohoo!

Well, lil Miss is sick .  Poor little miss!  She's got to be cutting molars because her mouth and nose and eyes are like taps, constantly running.  Poor thing.  She's been a trooper though.  She just sleeps it off.  Like last night, about 14 hours straight and about double the naptime during the day.

I've been giving her a nice bubble bath before her early bedtime.  She gets the big soaker tub to herself, no stinky brothers to share and hog all the good toys.  She's quite the teeny princess in there.  She stands up and walks to the other side to get any toys out of reach.  Last night we did a mohawk post-bath:

I am so excited for her hair to grow out.  It's already gorgeous!  This flash was a little deceiving, however.  Here is how she really looked and felt:

Dace tried on his new super soft, super cozy winter jacket that gramma got him ages ago.  It finally fits!

Isn't he such a boy?!  Not so little anymore, baby is all grown up!

Then there's these 2 gaffers:

And this is one of my favorite Christmas pics so far.  it's a classic- looking through the catalog to make the wish list:

Miss does a great job blending in with all these boys and all their toys.  But I really think she is hoping for something pink and girly to play with on Christmas morning:

This is how Ammon hogs all the cars:

And these two, while they do have their fighting moments, are such fun to watch because they are the best of friends and such a cute little tag team:

Zade totally idolizes his older brother and Dace misses Zade during his nap time.  Today during naps, Dace invented a car picnic game and couldn't wait for Zade to get up.  When he did, Dace exclaimed "Finally!!  come play with me!"  Oh precious brotherly love!
