This year we celebrated Christmas with the Hobgood clan, which meant 7 kiddos, ages 5 and under all crammed into the same house for three days straight. It was fun, intense and so worth it! We spent Christmas Eve at our house and enjoyed several bowls of soup, several gingerbread cookies and a little snuggling on the couch, which watching "Alvin and the Chipmunks."
My friend, Kylie, sent Molly this adorable Christmas tutu. She was very pleased about her first dress-up!
Santa came to our house for Owen, Wyatt, Molly, Logan and Laila. He surprised Wyatt with a Bat Cave (and some action figures to go in it).
Laila got the gymnastics costume that she had been hoping for....
Molly got a baby and a stroller, and she knew exactly what to do with it.
Both Owen and Logan asked for Star Wars stuff (plus other miscellaneous weaponry...they are such boys). I just had to include these action shots. I love the serious looks on all the boys' faces as they pace around with their grabbers, light sabers, pirate knifes, etc. If you don't already know to do this, try clicking on one of the pictures and you can see a closer view:-)
After the Christmas morning fun, we headed to Pueblo for Christmas Day fun. There was some cute sibling hand-holding in the car. They actually do this all the time.
Molly had a ball running around in Linda and Shep's house.
After everyone was organized and accounted for, mad present opening ensued! Once again, I love Owen's face. He was opening a Star Wars Transformer from Logan and Laila.
Wyatt loved his "Christmas crown".
For the first time in many years, we took family pictures. We could not get all the kids to look at the camera at the same time, but no one was crying!
Brenda had a great idea to get the kids involved in a craft before dinner. They made personalized placemats. Our little pirate really loved this activity.
We followed up Christmas with a Belteau Christmas in Monument on New Year's Day. It was almost impossible to get pictures because Molly kept running towards the stairs, but we got a few cute shots.

I have to break this comment down into points:
1. It looks like everyone was having a blast
2. The serious faces crack me up everytime. Owen does NOT have a poker face!
3. All of Wyatt's headgear (crown, pirate stuff, stocking cap) is so adorable it kind of hurts my heart.
4. Molly really looks like you (Bree) in the picture by her stroller! Don't you think? Her Tutu is cute and very Kylie:)
5. I'm glad to see the "awesome" pop-up in action.
6. The group craft thing is a great idea. I bet it got everyone settled down for dinner time.
