Busy Busy

So a lot has happened over this break. Julie came and helped out the first week and we had a blast. Thanks Dustin for giving her up for almost a week. We gave the boys their first Haircuts- They look even more handsome. Now one of these days we'll get around to Tatum- she is starting to get shaggy in the back.

Then my mom came the week after and stayed for two and a half weeks. Hole Cow- what a big help. This morning I was already holding a baby and another started crying- when it hit I didn't have anyone else to retrieve the helpless baby. She flew out this morning and Ben went back to school. I guess now the real fun begins. But anyway- My Dad and Brother made it here on the 30th- so here's to the Papa and Grammie pic!
Ben's B-Day was on the 26th- and he got Apple Pie for his cake. We had so many sweets and did not want another cake laying around. Then below is a pic of all the McDowell Grandbabies. THe triplets are sprawled out in their blessing outfits and then the family pic below of the family! Ben did an awesome job blessing the babies and love him for being able to do that for them!
So the official names in case everyone didn't know.(from right to left below).. Carter Damon McDowell, Tatum Skousen McDowell and Lincoln Pythias McDowell. Google Damon and Pythias if you are wondering about the names!! So that was the New Years Eve Party. Then we all went snowboarding for New Years Day at Copper and everything turned out really well! The babes stayed at home with Grammie and Papa and it didn't snow- only got a little windy. What a Blast!
Then the whole McDowell clan (minus the babies) on the 2nd, Ben's Dad got re-attached so that is Paula in off-white for those who are wondering. We are excited to have her in the fam as well as her 2 kids! Too bad we are not there to enjoy the changed events, but who knows where we'll be in a couple of months. Ok- That is that for the post! Hope everyone had some good Holidays!
