We had a great Christmas we spent our first Christmas in our new house. This is the first Christmas we spent just us, instead of going to my parents or Paul's parents. We played a few games watched Christmas movies and went to bed early. Paul spent several hours putting Naomi's doll house together. We finally got to sleep and Tacoma ran into our room around 1:00 am yelling its Christmas Santa came. We Yelled at him to go back to bed and he woke back up around 6:30 am which was still really hard with a new baby. So we told the kids to play the Ipad in their rooms until 7:00 am. This was a really fun year with Tacoma he was so excited about Christmas. We did the Elf on the Shelf and he was so excited to find it every morning before he went to school. Tacoma also had an elf in his Kindergarten class called Kindy and their class was trying to do acts of kindness all month. I had never seen Tacoma so helpful, so nice to his sisters. He loved to surprise me and say mom can you help me clean my room and I would walk in and he would yell surprise! to show me his room was clean. Tacoma is probably my most creative child the girls will play together when he is at school but when he gets home he loves to get them to make believe that they are pirates on a ship or that he is Santa Clause and has ribbon tied around the girls to be reindeer then they run around the house as Tacoma yells on Dasher and Dancer faster run faster! Tacoma has been obsessed with sharks lately he wanted to have a Shark room theme so he has a ton of pictures of sharks that he drew all over his walls. He loves to draw any free time he has. Malia and Naomi are my little helpers they love to help me with Ezra. They are always getting the wipes and diaper ready, putting the binkie back in his mouth and love to hold him. Naomi has already tried to hold Ezra when I wasn't looking. I was in the shower and Malia knocked on the door and yelled Mom, Naomi dropped the baby! I ran out to find the baby on the floor smiling. She got in big trouble and hasn't tried since. Ezra is my best baby he eats so good and burps so easily and I have him eating every 3 hours I am hoping to train him to sleep through the night. Right now he wakes up around 2 and 6 am. He is a very active baby when he does tummy time he holds his head up and even scoots himself to the other end of the blanket. He reminds me a lot of Tacoma. Very active and strong.
For New Years the kids made some hats for a craft and we had some friends over to play games the kids had fun playing zingo and then running around the house playing cowboys shooting each other on the their stick horses. I didn't sign Tacoma up for basketball in time so I put all three of the kids in gymnastics. Its been great going for an hour and they get to jump on trampolines and get their energy out. I wasn't going to sign up Naomi but she jumped right in and followed Tacoma and Malia and did exactly what they did. She has already learned to do a cartwheel and the coaches have commented how incredible it is because she is so young. Me and Paul have been taking the kids to the church to play basketball, soccer and football its been nice to get them out to play when it is so cold outside.
New Years Hats!
