Let the Festivities Begin

I'm just now updating about last weekend due to being sick earlier this week. I seemed to have had some sort of stomach flu, but thankfully am feeling much better now! I haven't had the flu like that since like elementary school and I even got the flu shot this year! Apparently I must have had a different strand of it.

While I was sick on Wednesday, Layla still went to Em's for the day. Joe got her ready for the day and packed her bag...this is the outfit he packed for her. I thought it was appropriate for the season--it's not too bad, but she kind of resembles a UPS driver:-).



On Sunday we had a Christmas party with our friends at Jill and Brad's. We had a nice turkey dinner, played some games and all the kids had some nice naps! It definitely makes things busy having 5 babies and 5 couples! Jim and Julie, we missed you!!
Unfortunetly, I don't think the kids were ever all awake at the same time so we didn't get a group photo of them.

Us. Layla looks like a space cadet b/c she was NOT in a good mood and had finally settled down--I think she was about sleeping with her eyes open:-).

Also, please pray for my mom as she's had a rough week and was admitted into the hospital this afternoon. Thanks!
