This is such a cute snapshot of the kids right now. Awesome idea. Just curious...does their toothbrush color match their hydraflask color too?

I've been looking forward to meeting these new little people and learning more about them through your pictures and words. Already getting the sense your house is full of music and your floor is covered in lost Lego pieces. Can't wait to see 5 kids appearing through December Daily. It's going to be awesome!

I LOVE everything about this. The fact that you have such a full house, the organization by color, and the writing. Simon's "gorgeous girls" and Elliot's "Issac" are so real and honest, I totally laughed out loud at both.

Loved all the responses - I'm sure at that age - I hated (disliked) my sister - but now we are best friends. It is just how kids reply to these questions.

Love this! Will totally copy this idea (with credit, of course) for my "new" Littles. I'd love hear more sharing about co-parenting. I know (from my own experience) that it's not always easy...and it certainly seems like you're all getting it right. Read that with a tinge of jealousy in my voice. ;)

What a fun post! So happy to meet the new family members. The "quiz" answers are awesome! I'm 52 and I'm pretty sure you'd find one of my brothers' names on my dislike list on any given day LOL! It never changes no matter how old you are. Love this little peek into their personalities. Thanks for sharing this!

YAY Isaac!!!! I'm so happy to finally meet a heavy metal fan in the "scarpbooking world" there are so few of us!!!!! And plays guitar... his cool factor must be off the charts!! Hope this translates into some cool music layouts!!!
I have a heavy metal loving, guitar playing (adult) son. Maybe Isaac could head over to Spotify and check out Nervz End or Reverb Nation and look for Tallon Weatherby.

I love that somehow Lego ( and toothbrush co.ours) connects them all. Thank you for sharing your new family Ali. Love to you all in your new adventure.
