{Christmas V - Children's museum, etc}

Monday was a chill day.

These girls had a great time walking the dog out in the drizzling rain. 

We visited Mimi that day, too. Miriam liked the little kitty bed. 

Tickle fights!

And naked babies in the evening playing chase.

Tuesday Sean and I took all the babies to the woodland's children museum. It was a charming little place and the kids had a great time exploring and playing together.

{Christmas IV - Gingerbread houses, Christmas dresses, etc}

Church wasn't until 3pm, so we had huge amounts of time in the morning. So, of course we decorated gingerbread houses! 

 

So fun and tasty!

There were also a few jam sessions 

And some pictures of the cute kids in their Christmas outfits!

 

This was a favorite past time for the babies: going sledding on the hardwood floors

{Christmas III - Tuba Christmas and tree decorating}

Saturday morning was spent with the McQuay clan at Tuba Christmas!

This is where 100-150 tuba and euphonium players get together and put on a concert at the courtyard of the Woodlands Malls. It's pretty fun and entertaining, to say the least. We hung out in the back and only a couple times did my drum major/music educator-ness come out and I was counting out-loud and conducting for a few high schoolers who couldn't for the life of them look at the conductor. I digress...

There's Uncle Brenden!

 Like father, like son

The whole fam damily!

The rest of the day was spent decorating the tree. Maybe not the whole rest of the day, but it's a dang big tree! The kids were in heaven. 

Cute cousins hiding behind the tree.

We also got all the stockings hung up! Fun times!

TADA!
