Christmas at the Robinson's

My sister's family came down to my parents to visit. Owen had a blast with Carter and Jaydon.

Christmas at the Osborne's

Justin's dad got a Wii for Christmas. Owen loved it and when asked what his favorite Christmas gift was, he'll say it was "the thing that Poppy got."

Thanks for the cool bike Mimi and Poppy!

Christmas at our house

Jericho

Joshua has fought the battle of Jericho many times in our living room. It's always the boys against the girls...you can see that Ellie is lots of help from her position on the floor.

Halloween

Owen insisted on being a giraffe. I have to say he makes a cute one.
Owen also insisted that Ellie be a wombat (a groundhoglike Australian animal)...after some searching, I had to break it to him that I couldn't find a wombat costume. So, Ellie had to settle for being a lion. Also, cuteness.
Justin and I are salt and pepper. "Costumes" thrown together minutes before we headed to our chruch's fall festival.

While you were sleeping...

I decided to dress up Ellie the other day and take a bunch of pictures while Owen was napping.
That same day, Owen decided that he wanted to make a pallet and sleep on floor instead of his bed. It's a wood floor, but apparently, it was comfortable enough. :)

The 3rd Annual Wifflefest has come and gone once again this year. We had 11 teams participate, and I am once again amazed at all the hardwork and creativity that Justin puts into this event. It was a blast!

Holdin' babies and Rockin' out

Missing something, JT?

Owen was delighted to find that cousin Jaydon had left his Disney hat in one of our stollers. It was hidden underneath one of the strollers that we don't use as often so it was a recent discovery even though JT hasn't been here for 2 months. Thanks Jaydon for sharing! We'll give it back to you at Christmas!
