Christmas Day

Hanging out with Dad until all the kids were ready to go see what Santa brought.


My entire family was together for Christmas. Us, mom, dad, and three sisters with their families. Eleven kids all together! As a result...this was tree #1. After we finished with these presents we went downstairs to tree #2. It was an all day event!




Julius' stocking


Julius gave Henry a hat that matched his.


So dad somehow got the same shirt that he had just bought and wore on Christmas day! At least you know he likes it!


Ken with Leah and the gift she gave him.


Annie wanted a baby doll that looked like Julius. How sweet! She named her baby Julius too!




All of the cousins

Christmas in Cincinnati


The day we were supposed to fly to Cincinnati we had a huge snow storm in Provo. It's fun unless you're trying to travel. Our flight got canceled but we ended up with a direct flight that got to Cincinnati even earlier! Julius was great on his first flight...he just ate and slept...what a relief!



Ken with Nora


The 3 cousins together for the first time!

Grandma Kathy is famous for her Christmas Elf Shop where all of the grandkids get to buy presents for everyone in the family. Julius got to go pick out stuff for mom, dad, and himself!

What's up with Julius?

Julius is about three and a half months old...


He's started reaching for things and holds on to them pretty well.


He can sort of sit up with the help of his boppy.


He licks candy canes.


AND he likes girls...

Jeff and Casey had their twins 11 days after we had Julius.

These are his friends Sophie and Breanne.
