An Exciting Morning!

Today is my first day off work for the holidays!  I'm off until Jan 4th!  Hooray!  My parents arrived last evening and we had planned a day of Christmas shopping and holiday baking while the kids were at school.  That all changed with a phone call at 5:30AM!  Some of our dear friends were expecting their 4th and it was TIME!  So, my husband left in his PJ's to go get their 3 kids while our friends dashed to the hospital.  Our plans immediately changed and instead of day with no kids, we've had 6!!!  It has been a blast!  Since everyone was awake super early, my husband went out for provisions and brought back some donuts.   Below is breakfast for 5 (my daughter was still asleep).

We spent the morning playing, baking cookies, and building spaceships and robots.  Right now, the 4 big kids are outside playing while the 2 babies are napping.  After lunch, we'll have movie time until their Dad comes to get them.  Baby Jacob was born very quickly after they got to the hospital and grandparents arrive this afternoon.  I'm so happy and excited for them!  It was a wonderful exciting morning!  Soooo fun to have a house full of kiddos!
