Well, time flies... I guess I need to write some of the events and things that have happened over the last few months. This picture is Christmas in a nutshell... 21 people, our house- TWO weeks!! One might thing that we are crazy and a little nuts, but it was SUPER fun. We hosted Christmas this year and we loved having everyone here. I kept thinking that I would have a hard time with 13 kids, but in all honesty, they all loved to play together and the hardest part was my own kids. Brayden and Camden loved to push the limits with mommy and daddy busy. Another part that was hard is the meals... 21 people 3 meals a day gets a little difficult, but somehow it all works out. We had so many outdoor activities planned but for the luck of it we had the coldest weather ALL year. Today as I am writting this we have had 2 weeks of 55-70 degrees, and no rain. While everyone was here we hit our lows of 35 degrees. Justin and I would just laugh about it.Some of the fun stories and memories for me:
Camden sat down at the dinner table and everyone else was in the living room playing. Camden said "Mommy, I see a fire!" I jumped up and sure enough there were 15-20 foot flames. It looked like our neighbors house was on fire. We quickly called 911, and had all the kids put on shoes to get into the cars for a quick evacuation. Ended up they were having a fire, and it got out of control. Scary..
The funnest was watching all the kids run down the stairs for the Christmas tree and all the presents. The night before, the kids acted out the nativity and it was so ADORABLE!!
I loved teaching my Torrey, Denali, and Whitney how to play Settlers of Zarahemla. Which ended up playing over and over again.
THE BOUNCY HOUSE AND KIDS... NEED I SAY MORE?
oh, a friend is at the door... will write more later.

Holy crap. I think you're nuts. That's a lot going on.
And scary about the fire! Good thing you have a fire-house in your back-yard! Ha ha. I'm really not trying to make light of it, that really is scary :/
