Busy!

Even with lots of help (My Mom and Dad are still here helping/visiting), three kids keep me really busy. Every time I sit down to update my blog for the last week or so, someone needs something. So here's the last week or so in a nutshell...
SO BIG!
(the flash on the camera startled her)

At her two week check-up (December 18) Bryn had grown an inch, and surpassed her birth weight...6lbs 11oz, 19.75 inches. I think now she's well on her way to 8lbs now. She's really grown...her Newborn clothes are finally fitting, and the preemie clothes a little too small!

ELVIN our Christmas Elf came to visit.
Santa sent us a Magic Elf to visit and check on the kids before the holidays. He was a very mischievous elf, and always showed up in the most peculiar places/situations. We caught him hanging from the ball (used for parking) in the garage, in the candy jar, making reindeer food, playing with toys, sliding down the banister, hanging from a chandelier, buckled up in the car ready to go, etc. It was very fun and entertaining for all. Christmas Eve, Elvin must have given a good report to Santa, because the kids got pretty spoiled. Elvin hitched a ride back on Santa's sleigh and was gone Christmas morning. We hope he comes back for a visit next year. ;)

Nan (Brandon's Grandma) and Aunt B came for a visit.


Bailey showed us her inner Martha Stewart with this amazing Gingerbread house she did. All I did was assemble the shell and put icing where she told me to. It turned out fabulously!

SUPER SINGERS CHOIR
Bailey had several choir performances, and everyone got to attend at least one!
She loves choir and does a great job. It was so cute to see! (I'll post a video soon, hopefully!)

FUNNY PAPERS
After Bailey's last performance, Guh and Papa took us to Chic-fil-A. Benson discovered the Sports section of the paper and was in heaven with all the "BALLS!" It was so funny, people in the restaurant were even stopping to laugh. He looked just like a little man!

Bryn looks just like Benz in that first picture!

Elvin looks like he could be Henry Wizley's twin brother, who visited Aidan and Ayla--and they BOTH look like Kelly Holly, the little "she" elf that came to visit the kids next door to me! What a wonderful Christmas activity that was. The pictures were great--Bryn is growing so quickly and is just as adorable as her big sister and brother! Loved your Christmas card/birth announcement-what a good idea!
