Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas as always. The kids got tons of great stuff and Michael and I even got a new flat screen TV from my parents. It was a lot of fun watching Loralee try and open gifts for her first Christmas. The other kids really helped her out though. It's so much fun watching Christmas through your children's eyes. They are so excited about everything and it's so easy at the ages they are to make them happy. And they are so grateful which is something that I think gets lost when they become older. I am just so happy that I have happy, healthy children to celebrate the holidays with. :)
All he wanted for Xmas was a blue camera. And that's what Santa brought him!
A pink hot wheels car!
Loves her new Minnie Mouse    




Baby's first Christmas

 And we got a great group shot of the Lloyd Pack all dressed up for Christmas! One of my favorite pics of the day. :)
One of the best thing about having 3 little girls is that I don't have to settle on one Xmas dress. I get to have 3 different ones and enjoy the variety. 



And of course we can't forget a pic of our one and only little boy

Loralee is constantly pulling herself up and standing now! I am sooooo not ready for her to attempt walking yet. I just want to hang on to this last baby for a little longer. She's not even 9 months! Lilly walked at 10 months so I'm wondering if Loralee is on the same path as her oldest sister...

December Festivities

It's been a busy December so far. Lot's of birthday celebrations and holiday activities. And of course a visit to Santa at the mall for the infamous Santa pic. But we love this time of year seeing the kids excitement over all the Christmas festivities.
Love love love this pic of them! From left to right: Lilly (5), Heidi (2), Barrett (my nephew 21months), Loralee (8months) and Bobby (3). As you can see Heidi and Barrett are definitely not into Santa this year.

My dad's birthday. Lilly made him a pink cake :)



Me with my Mini-me

Michael's parents had an Xmas party. Santa came to visit (Michael's dad)



This is how Heidi felt about Santa

Goofing off in their jammies the other night

Big girl now! Loralee can crawl and sit up really well now. She has also mastered going from a crawling position to a sitting position and vice versa. No teeth yet but her bottom gums are pretty swollen. And of course she puts everything in her mouth!!
