December 2013

Here are some pictures from December and Christmas.

The girls playing with their toys on the coffee table. We put up a big tree for the first time, I loved having a big one rather than a little one!

Sitting on their chairs in the kitchen watching mom and dad do dishes.

Decorating cookies. Jake was frosting and Addy was sprinkling.

Going outside with Grandma Gapp and mommy while daddy and Grandpa went to town.

Mommy pushing Addy down the side of the driveway.

Mommy took Susanna down....we crashed :-(. 

Susanna went face first into the snow....after cleaning off most of the snow she was all smiles again :-).

Mommy and the girls.

Daddy and Susannie cuddling.

Addy cuddling with her baby.

They just love sitting next to each other playing.

Addy lying in our "snow fort".

Susanna didn't want to give smiles.

Strong man Blaise!

Daddy and Blaiser.

The girls wanted to join in.

Playing Uno Moo....Susanna even has fun!

Playing with little brother and his toys.

The five grandchildren on the Gapp side.

Helping Grandma decorate the Christmas tree.

Present time!

Blaise opening up a gift....with my help of course :-).

Too cute!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Loegering's.....Grandma playing Don't Spill the Beans with the kids.

Blasie got a hat that says...."Grandpa's Little Farmer".

Sledding at Grandma and Grandpa Hayes' on Christmas Day.

Stacie and Susanna.

Grandpa Loegering and Jerry match.

The four younger ones watching the big kids play football outside.

Grandpa helping pass the time while the daddies were outside.

The two escapees....frequently we would look around and Susanna and Jerry would be gone. They tend to get into trouble together quite often. 

Adorable!

Sy reading to Johnny.

Daddy trying to snuggle with Susanna.....Susanna trying to play.....doesn't mix well ;-).

Addy and Lu Lu looking at books together. These two girls usually play really nice together.

Grandpa and Julie with Susanna.

Grandma with Blaise....he was sleeping most of the whole day on Christmas Day.

Susanna playing very nicely by herself with Johnny's train set he got for Christmas.

Susanna in Addy's tent she got for Christmas.....they both really like playing in it.

Sisterly love :-).

Susannie and Daddy cuddling again.

Blaiser was not in the mood for smiling.

Cutie pie.

Kristina helping Addy do a letter game. Kristina came back with us after Christmas and stayed for a week. It was nice having her visit :-).

That's quite a look, it could mean multiple things :-). Some would say she takes after her mother....

Lu Lu, Addy, and Johnny watching "Planes" the movie on New Years Eve while the mommies and daddies played a game.
