CHRISTMAS

DINNER!!

Christmas morning!!!!

Cookies for Santa. Each decorated their own cookie just for Santa and then left them by the tree with a glass of milk and carrots for the reindeer.

With so much going on at the Cobb house Gma and Gpa didn't get to put up their usual decorations. They usually have every corner decorated, I like to call them Mr. and Mrs. Clause because they make Christmas so magical...every detail from cookies to Christmas dinner. They have been so great as we've been trying to get settled in and even though they couldn't decorate like usual it was more than magical because they showed the true meaning of Christmas...the love of God. The kids loved every moment. The tree was decorated with bulbs they let the kids put on and on Christmas Eve added candy canes on every inch of the tree. They left the tree exactly how the kids decorated it. The only other decorations in the house was the 12 stockings that hung over the fireplace but every corner of this house has been filled with love...it really couldn't have been better. So, I'm always going to remember this Christmas as the Candy Cane Tree Christmas.

Thanks Grandma Andersen for the awesome pj's.

Pizza Night and Pillow Fights

We had such a fun night...Daddy made pizza, each kid picked what they wanted on it and then the kids needed to get their ya ya's out so Matt had a pillow fight with them...I was invited but I used Tessa as my excuse and took a video(I've tried like 10 times to upload the pillowfight but it's not happening).

California Snowman

Matt and the girls made this CA snowman with Gpa Cobbs help dressing him up with sp? Teke Torches, coal and all.

This was the evil snowman that I put an end to...somehow Matt thought the axe wouldn't be all that dangerous.

Emma Sierra

Alyssa is sunglasses

Kaila

Snowball fight with the neighbors...we won!

Gotta Love IT

We haven't since snow since the first year we moved here almost four years ago. The day it started snowing it was freezing and my cute hubby somehow ended up outside standing in the pool half naked...I didn't take this picture but I would've, you just gotta love him.

I used to sing each childs favorite song while I held them each night. I haven't felt well and so tired from the move that the other night I held Emma's hand with one hand, Sierra and Kaila's with the other and Alyssa's with my foot and sang one sone. Matt thought this was pretty funny and took a picture. I had to laugh at myself when I saw the pictures. We really bend over backwards for our kids sometimes...they are so worth it.

My kids having a good time dancing to music.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

With everything being so everywhere with the move it was nice to do something fun and normal like decorating the tree. We did this last week for FHE.

Simple Pleasures

Cute Fat Baby

We had such a fun Thanksgiving. Thanks momma Cobbs for yummy turkey dinner.

Daddy made spagetti dinner a few weeks ago. He made so much he filled a huge pot so he filled each kids plate. These pictures were after they were done so you can imagine how much was on the plates before. Good times.

Emma's Blog

I started a blog for Emma so I can keep everyone updated and aware. The link is in my blog list or you can try emmarebekah.blogspot.com. I'll try to keep it updated as we are hoping there will be a lot going on next year to help her. Emma and Tessa love to play in the bathtub together. And no, Tessa does not weight more than Emma...yet but she's pretty dang close.

Yes on 8!

Here's Matt and his best friends, Mike and Mike . I don't know why I didn't get a picture of Becky and Amy while we were all together but I'll have to get one this weekend when they come to help me pack. They're so awesome and so are there husbands. I feel the need to emit any confussion about this picture, all the men in this picture are married to their wives. When Amy took me to Disneyland for my birthday she was telling a worker that we were there the week before celebrating out anniversary, she turned to me and said, Congratulations. We quickly explained that we had been there with our husbands celebrating our anniversaries...we were not married to each other. Mike felt pretty gay after seeing his hands on Mike's shoulder so I felt the need to make mention. hehehe -

Rerun's Baby?

I had to take a picture of Tessa in this outfit because Matt said she can't were the hat again. He said she looked to much like Rerun (i didn't know who that was but I guess it's some big guy that wears hats like that-oh look, I found a picture). It was funny to cause all the girls said, "Look, she's Paris" I got enough slack that I don't think I'll put it on her again, at least with the hat. She's so much fun right now, she doesn't crawl- she just rolly pollies around until she gets somewhere. She also puts everything in her mouth...can't you tell. She's our "Budda"ful baby!

Grandma and Grandpa Cobb and Aunt Kelli came over with the Heywoods and Carters for cake and ice cream after all the little girls went home. The Carters came up early and helped out during the party and stayed the weekend. We have the best friends, everyone stayed and played games.

What a fun birthday party! I can't believe Mykaila is now 8yrs old! We had such a great turn out, thanks to all her cute friends for coming and making it fun. We make braceletts and necklaces, then played a High School musical game, and Guesstures. The funnest part was playing Zoom with the kids, it wasn't planned but we had more time and it ended up being the funnest part.

With such a big weekend I forgot all about Halloween. Much fun. We had trunk or treat earlier in the week. Our ward makes it so fun. Kids had a blast. Then on Halloween the kids had a parade at school and that night we went and visted Grandpa Felt, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Richard and Grandma and Grandpa Cobb.
