Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

I've been good....honestly!

I've tried to be good....kinda!

I'm always good....I tell ya!

Friends & Family

G-ma McCool insisted on a picture before opening gifts Everyone was too distracted for this picture. This is the best I got!

We had the Seibert/Meyer Christmas at our house this year. It was a great time! Here are all the offspring...15 kiddos with Cole being the oldest at 7 and Georgiana is the youngest at 4 1/2 months. All these wonderful children come from 6 sets of parents (2 sets of grandparents).....plain craziness! There really isn't anything as nice as visiting with friends that understand what our everyday life is like. What kind of trouble will they all get into in about 10 years? Hmmm........

Holiday Excitement

Cole entered a coloring contest before Christmas and WON! Here is the finished project.... he was so excited to pick up his prizes. He was spoiled with a new game and art set. Mommy gave him a hard time when his picture was finished because she didn't think he colored a few things the right color....what little Mommy knows!

Heidi got a new coat and hat made with lots of love from G-ma McCool. Thanks G-ma!

Heidi decided that Andy's slipper made a perfect "parade" ride for Snow White!

Cole Gregory

Cole has developed into quite a "sport nut". He spends time watching Notre Dame football and basketball on TV with Daddy! Our great friend, Jason, always keeps him outfitted in Notre apparel. He loves his new extra warm hooded sweatshirt. Thanks Jason!

Jason also got him a new Webkinz orangutan. He was named "Hairy" and added to the collection. There is hardly any room in Cole's bed anymore because all the animals need there space too!

Cole celebrated his birthday on the 12th of December. It is really hard to believe that he is 7 years old now! Cole had Heidi and Andy help blow out the candles on his Notre Dame football cake.

We spent alot of time traveling in December...way too many parties! One night, we really wanted the kids to not fall asleep so JJ kept taking pictures and Cole would do "Are you awake?" checks on the twins.

Andrew Joseph

Andy was the very patient child this Christmas. His present from G-ma and Papa came in pieces. Daddy had to build it and was it ever worth it! This fire station saves the princess castle from fire and who knows what else on a daily basis!

Andy had a very busy Christmas...after all, it is exhausting opening presents constantly! The worse part is that in two weeks we do it all over again for their birthday. Oh well, here is to cleaning out more old toys to make room for the new. At least, we haven't had to pitch a child yet!

It gets really sunny in the house and these old sunglasses always resurface! Andy just has to look cool at all times!

Our very good friend, Jason got this wonderful shirt for Andy. It is such a stretch to put this on him.....should bring a good laugh with every wearing! Doesn't his face just say it all?

Heidi Ann

Heidi surprises me daily. I found this crazy headband in the basement so I thought I would test it out on her knowing that she would never wear it. She wore it! She loved the way the trees bounced with her. Never underestimate the power of Heidi!

That is one lovable little girl all snuggly under her new Princess blanket. You don't get to see the princesses because they are on the opposite side of the blanket. All the kids got new blankets for their beds from Mommy and Daddy for Christmas. Thanks G-ma for sewing them up for us!

Heidi got this princess castle from G-ma & Papa on Christmas Day. It came complete with furniture and a queen, king, princess, and prince. She didn't leave this area of G-ma's house the entire day!

Uncle Nick got her a princess gown....what a hit! Aunt Holly finished it off with a tiara and dressing-up shoes! She is quite a sight when she gets all dolled up!

Christmas - 2010

Are you ready to open gifts? We managed making it through church. Cole got to be in the children's choir this year with Mommy. Heidi and Andy got G-ma, Papa, and Daddy all to themselves. We left church and toured some Christmas lights before heading home to see if Santa had arrived. Luckily, the tree was loaded with presents when we got home. Obviously, Santa decided we had been good enough to stop!

Andy takes his turn at opening gifts. We celebrated with alot of parties this year. Andy became quite an expert at "ripping them open".

Heidi still remains the "girlie" one in the family. She takes her time and rips neatly for the most part. She doesn't even like a stray piece of tape to stay attached. All girl, I tell you, ALL GIRL!

Cole experienced the "year of lego". We received so much Lego that Daddy went to work making short tables for his bedroom to house everything on. The kids spend a lot of time playing with it all and Mommy and Daddy spend their fair share of time putting pieces back to their original state!
