Madison Christmas Fun

Christmas fun in Madison

Ring Around the Rosie

A Ring Around the Rosie (for good measure) on Christmas Eve

Daddy Flips

Love it when D.R. is home in the evenings!! Even better is how the kids will all ask me in the morning when they wake up if they'll get to see D.R. that day.

Super Duper Advent Cake

The kids make a Super Duper Advent Cake. Another pre-Christmas video that is bringing me plenty of February giggles.

Zebra Lullaby

Shea sings to her zebra... then gets a little bossy. Just makes me giggle.

Baraboo Christmas

So great to see the munchkins sitting at the same "kids" table that I sat at growing up. :)




After receiving special treats from Santa Hughes, the children were quite a hit with their blue-green tongues!

Madison Christmas

I don't know what's cuter... the fact that the boys get so sweaty when they sleep, that they like to sleep with Seth's old He-Man books or that they use each other for pillows when in the same bed. :)
The annual Christmas song sing-along with Sarah, Indie and Shea and the piano.
Ollie keeps the beat
Jax provides some rhythm guitar. Apparently, Dex slipped away for a minute, because I have no photos of him... but he was definitely there!
Shea and her Mimi
The removal of the late-January Christmas tree.
Seth and Jaxon

Jax received a blue yoshi for Christmas from Seth and Nicky. He was blue Yoshi for Halloween and he adores the color blue. Needless to say, his reaction was priceless and blue woobie is now no longer alone at night. He AND blue Yoshi are needed for Jaxon to have a good night's sleep. :)
Uncle Jonathan and his oh-so-spicy cookbook.

I'm holding Mimi responsible for how spoiled Shea gets after visits home!!! :)

Dex and his slinky (thanks, Ollie!)
Once again, there's nothing quite as fun as a giant pile o' cousins.Even better when there's an uncle or two to throw another boy into the mix.
Our Ollie
As blurry as this photo is, I love how much Ollie dotes on Shea
Jax
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed... no, there's nothing dangerous about this.
