Life with 4 Krupp Boys.....: Births, Birthdays, Santa Claus & Graduating

Our computer modem crashed this week, so we have been without Internet for a couple of days. So, here is a recap of our week:

Welcome Aiden Douglas! Yes, that means Justine had her little baby boy! We got to go and see the newest addition to the Bullard family on Wednesday, so I have a couple of pictures already! He is precious! He was 21” and 7 pounds, 12 ounces at birth. During the day of Aiden’s birth, we got to babysit McKenzie! It was so much fun having a little girl around. The kids were all super cute with her. Thomas played with her a lot—he is surprisingly gentle with her, which seems to go against his usual wild-child demeanor. Lucas is really good with her, but she wanted to play with one of Lucas’ favorite toys. Eventually, Lucas hid the toy in our Christmas tree! Kevin just loves little Kenz. He is always great with her and frequently says, “Oh, she’s so cute!” McKenzie is such a good little girl. She just sat and watched the boys…they were her entertainment.

Back on the Pre-Christmas note, we took the boys to see Santa Claus again last weekend. They hated him again, but Paul and I did get to pose in pictures with them. Lucas was a bit more cooperative; he even tried to give Santa five. Thomas screamed at the jolly old man, but at the end of the visit, Thomas did want the candy cane that Santa was distributing.

We certainly had a full day today! First we got to attend Lily Leclercq’s birthday party, which was a ton of fun. She had her party at Jumper’s Gymnastics, so the kids got to run, jump, and climb. The kids had a great time. Happy 3rd Birthday Lily!

Also, tonight we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo for their winter wonderland display of Christmas lights. It was cold and packed with people, but the kids still seemed to enjoy it. We were joined by Grandma Traci (scooter and all), Uncle Ryan, Cortney, Aaron, and McKenzie.

Finally, congratulations are in order for my little sister Brittani. She has graduated college! Congratulations Brittani! We are all so proud of you.
