Sister Weekend

This week we took family pictures because we haven't done that since Jerrica was born. Plus it's that time of year to send out Christmas cards!!! I put the family picture in the cards, but wanted to post this cute one of the kids on the blog. Aunt Racquelle helped us find matching dresses for Janie's wedding. And can I just say it's hard to get six kids decked out for a picture and all smiling and looking at the camera!!!!!

Nathan was not quite so smiley. He was sick when we took the picture. Infact, all six kids got sick one at a time this last week. They had a fever and felt achey for 24 hours and then were fine.

Alesha flew in from Utah Thursday for a little sister's get together. We played basketball together with friends there at the YMCA on Friday. Afterwards, Alesha shared some favorite salad recipes that we made for lunch. They were sooo yummy. The one is a warm salad that you saute garlic in olive oil and then add spinach leaves and portobello mushrooms. As soon as the spinach starts looking a little wilty you take it off the heat and add feta cheese. It was so divine. Anyway, we also did this cute stocking advent calendar that can be seen here: (scroll down to the stocking one) http://www.skiptomylou.org/page/3/ I'm excited for the kids to start it tomorrow. We also watched a movie together and went shopping at Kohl's. We enjoyed laughing and visiting with each other. Can't you come again this next weekend Alesha???
