Our seven little darlings had so much fun together.
Nolan loves his Mom.
Hayden and Nolan spent most of their time combining their precocious, innocent minds to equate to all the trouble you could possibly imagine. 
Kolton was busy taking notes so that he could "run with the pack" when he is a few months older.
With a little help from Rusty, Brenden kept up on the latest comics.
Dylan is always ready for a picture. This little guy has really grown up and is a joy to have around! 
Being a little short on musical instruments, Hayden, Nolan and Ethan discovered the kazoo sounds they could make with a simple spool of thread. Ethan remained diligent in his new-found talent throughout his visit. 
Ethan really knew how to attract the dogs. While in his highchair he always had their undivided attention.
When the boys were loose, Radar preferred the security of his crate.
We thought the boys would especially enjoy making gingerbread houses, but I'm pretty sure that Erin and Paulette had the most fun of all.
There were beds throughout the house, even in the closets. 
Mutti is still working on getting to know Halle, or vice versa.
Jared gave it his all to wear out the boys. I'm not sure who wore out first.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
All Ethan wanted for Christmas was his Dad, who showed up right after Santa Claus. 
Now Brenden can become the "rock star" he aspires to.
Nolan is convinced he really is Batman. He will seldom answer to any other name.
Halle was thrilled to see her new Grande Kitchen, and more than happy to share. 
Dylan couldn't wait to try out the Wii Santa brought his family. Everyone enjoyed it, even Mutti.
We managed to make the magic last, opening 1 gift at a time, 1 person at a time. (At least we tried.)
Then it was time for family photos.
The last two are our "behind the scenes" shots. They tell it like it really is!
Happy New Year everyone!

Now that I have church at 10:30 I can come to your house some Sunday and copy all of these pictures and eat some family dinner. I am so excited. Thanks for taking care of all of us. It was a lot of fun.
