I love to match my kids.
So when we had a few extra seconds before church, I snapped some pictures of my three that matched.
Sorry Pips — light pink didn’t go in this shoot!

When we got to church, we realized that Ka matched our kids, and she insisted on a phtot shoot when we all got home.

Then it was dinner.
We’ve had a pretty good cleaning system lately.

Scout does the table — clear it, wipe it, sweep under it.

Navy does the drying and putting away of the non-dish-washed dishes.

Micah mans the sink.
And I do all other things.
(Dash runs off and hides with whatever electrical device he can find.)
After their stellar cleaning, this day we surprised them with a trip to the Ritz to see the Gingerbread house.

Only this year, it wasn’t a house, but an entire “under the sea” scene.

Navy was stoked to see a stalking for her.

On our way out, we had two really strong boys stand next to the world’s strongest.

And the we let the kids go wild as we waited for our car.

And when we got home, it was bed time!
But not before Navy begged for one more picture by the kid tree!
