Here is some video of the new toddler who lives at our house. I can't really get good video as he wants to hold the camera when ever he sees it and then won't walk.

Here is a partial video of a successful stoop, stand, walk and sit.

Here are some extra shots from the Christmas Card shoot. I know I'm partial, but the sheer cuteness of my kids is undeniable. Don't you want to squeeze Cormacs chubby cheeks.

Well, thought I'd shoot out an update, before the horde gets up from naps and makes even thinking impossible. Connor still loves ...........(can anyone guess?) NASCAR. He has asked for all the cars he doesn't have for Christmas. Piper has been taking her baby dolls to the doctor (Dr. Connor) and then insisting that they get eleventeen shots. Glad shes not my mom!!! Cormac has mastered the backward stair crawl and for about two weeks now has been walking. Not alltime walking, but enough that is not a fluke. Yesterday he went from the main floor bathroom all the way to our kitchen with a couple of directional turns. He's got a couple of head bumps from falling. I try to keep most of the junk off the floors, but I can't really do much about the walls. He got a bump from falling into a wall corner and then another one when he fell and hit his eye on a NASCAR. Shame on you, number 20, Tony Stewart!!!!!!!!! When the kids get up we are making Christmas cookies for a decorating party. Can't wait. (said with much sarcasm!!!)

I've elfed the kids and Donald. You might wet your pants. Soooo funny. They only had room for four elves, but Donalds funnier than me anyway.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. We had our first big snow fall today. D had to shovel and take Pip out in the sled. She said "Daddy went really, really fast!!' Today was Pipers birthday party. The big kids had a blast frosting the Hello Kitty cupcakes.

Cormac hung out and supervised.

Here is the beautiful Hello Kitty birthday princess. Everytime that tiara fell off, she had to put it back on. She wouldn't even go in the jumpy castle, because the tiara would fall off. ( She isn't wearing makeup, she had just come in from the cold outside. Well, some sparkly Hello Kitty lipgloss had just been applied before the picture)
