Girls just want to have fun!

I don't want this post to seem like I don't love my boys, because I do, so much!!  But being the mom to a bunch of crazy girls is so much fun!  Maybe because I am a crazy girl myself, but we have the best time together.  I am so blessed to have such great kids.  Part of being a girl is dressing up, right?  I am so lucky that I have all girly girls who like to dress up with me.  And its the fun times that make up for all the drama that happens with 5 girls in the house!  I hope my boys are ready for when they are all teenagers!

Charlotte is cute, the end

All my kids are cute!  That is a given, and Charlotte is not exception. These were taken last year, so if you can believe it, she has become even more cute since then.  She is such a happy baby, most of the time (see the last pictures), and she makes us smile.  She is starting to talk now, and so she even says cute things.  We can't get enough of this little girl!!  I can't believe she is almost 2!

Larsen Christmas

We had a great time at grandma and grandpa Larsen's house last Christmas!!  It was so fun to be around all our family and see the kids so happy and excited.  I love my family!!  I really feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. The kids were spoiled as usual and it was fun to see their faces as they opened up all the gifts.  Grandma also had lots of activities planned as usual, so that was fun too!  The kids were a little confused when Santa made an after Christmas visit to the house, but they still loved it.

Christmas explosion

Even though we really try not to go crazy with presents at Christmas time, Christmas morning always looks like a bomb went off. When you have a big family, I don't think there is any way around it.  After the kids opened all their presents, we surprised them with a karaoke machine and stage upstairs.  They loved it and have since spent hours performing their favorite hits!  We didn't give them much time to play because Christmas afternoon we drove to Utah to be with my family.  So we could make an even bigger mess there!
