A party for Norah at last!

Norah was so cute and apprehensive about digging in. She got a little bit of frosting and managed to make quite the mess. My camera was being flaky so I don' t have one of her messy cake eating just yet.

The cousins are lined up to get some cake.

They were all so sweet to Norah.

Norah and the two girlies on the right are the only three

girls on my side of the family so far.

There will be 10 boys after April.

Sweet little Wyatt loves babies and is such a little smoocher.

(my camera stinks)

Sweet big boy Andrew isn't opposed to giving the love to Norah either

Little girly, you are very loved!

Christmas Eve Jammies

Let the pajama party begin!

Oh this poor lizard. Thankfully it is not real. It is missing half

of its tail because it gets swung around like this all the time.

Jackson always has such a great time with his cousin, Elliot.

Norah's expression just screams, "Please mom, put me to bed!"

Cole seems so serious in this picture and Naomi is just so sweet.

We continue the Croshaw Christmas tradition of opening one gift, typically jammies, on Christmas Eve. It was the funnest one by far with 8 kids under 8 and 8 adults. David/Grandpa read to us about the Wise Men and we sang "We Three Kings", ate cookies, played a game (if I remember right) and stayed up late.

Mia's baptism day

I only have one picture on my computer before my camera died. So classic. But here she is in the pretty white outfit borrowed from some friends in Pocatello. It was a special day shared with her cousin, Alex. I am so proud of Mia's decision to follow in her Savior's footsteps. She is a wonderful blessing in our lives.

Mia's 8th birthday

Mia got to have 2 parties this year. A family party and a friends/cousins party. It is so much fun to live close to our families and to have such fun friends. Mia and Jackson went roller skating for the first time. By the end of the two hours Jackson had it down and Colin had to walk out on the rink to get him so we could leave. It was a good time!

Halloween -just a little behind

I just have to post this for historical reasons. The kids had such a great time trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood. I stayed home with Norah, it was a cold night, to pass out candy. Cole was dead set on wearing the dog costume that I think he wore last year and was Jackson's before that. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Jackson got to be Thor. Mia was a butterfly princess and Norah Jane was a cute and cuddly little flower. She wore this costume on another outing just because it was so warm.

Norah Jane on Christmas Day

My Sister-in-law took these AWESOME pictures of our super cute little girl.

They really are to die for. Thank you Rebecca!

This little dress was Mia's when she was about the same age.

Here she is with her Uncle Matt
