pics of 5 kids on Christmas

Yes, I am still blogging pictures from Christmas...that is just how I roll these days.

Christmas morning, I was getting myself and 5 kids ready, packed, presents wrapped...you can imagine my chaos that morning trying to get myself together to travel down to my family's house to stay the night. I had to give both babies a bath. I started with Zachariah, and Christian was fussy, so Rachel picked him up and sat down on the stairs to wait his turn. (the stairs are directly across from the bathroom). I got Zachariah finished and dressed, and turned around to get Christian, and he and Rachel just looked too cute, so I had to go get my camera. (yes, I had trimmed her bangs, and it is very obvious I missed a spot :)

As I was taking their photo, I turned around and saw that Zachariah had climbed BACK in the bathtub fully dressed. Luckily most of the water had run out at that point. But then, he ran over and sat down on the stairs beside them, so again, I thought they looked too cute, and grabbed my camera again...wet and all.
So then I got the idea that I need to get one of all 5...afterall it was Christmas morning, and everyone was mostly ready and cute. I should have just stopped with the first, b/c well, this is as good as it gets.

Noah and Rachel's eyes are on Zach, who has run away.

We got him again, but now Noah isn't looking. As you see, we also have the lovely stuff on the stairs. When I pick up, I set stuff there to be carried up for the next trip that I don't have a baby in my arms.

Another attempt....he decided to escape the other direction

Everyone smiling, but Zach is escaping again...

Well, everyone dispursed, so I just went back to my original plan, photographing these 2 cuties :)

This was just 3 days after he got out of the hospital

And one more....the whole crew packed up, and ready to roll out to grandma's!
