Week-long Celebration

The kids have had quite the Christmas celebration.  A whole week's worth.

Being sweet.  Waiting patiently for presents.

Being appreciative :o) 

Being angry :o)  This was one too many pair of underclothes for this boy.

THANK YOU SO MUCH GRANDPA KEVIN!!   They love their new tablets! 

As you can see, the kids had an awesome Christmas this year.  Thanks to everyone who helped make it so special and spoiled the kids into being just a little more rotten than they already were :o)

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Temperatures plummeted and we got a real snow fall.

Last night we went to the night light parade.  It was about -50º outside.

So, we decided the best place to be was in the back of Grandpa's car.  With the heater on full blast.

It was a great, long, parade.  While we were waiting for it to start, we could see the lights down the road, we commented that they were moving really slow to which Lilian exclaimed, "What are they, GRANDPARENTS?!?!"  

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

The kid's class had a little Christmas program today.  They were able to show off their mad keyboarding skills and sang a couple of songs.  It was short and cute, so perfect.

Singing.  Kind of.

Being hams 

He wouldn't stop with the crazy eyes! 

With their teacher, Mrs. Demming

Ron took a couple little videos, which I will post as soon as I get them on the computer.  What a fun way to start this snowy day!

It's Christmas Time

We have had a busy, but fun Christmas.  It is a lot of work to get everything in that we want to, but in the end it is all worth it.  We went to see Santa on Sunday, the 23rd...after waiting in line for 2 hours, Lilian was tongue tied and couldn't decide what to ask him for!

 

That evening we had a wonderful meal and company at my mom's house.  My mother, John, BJ, Krista, Chloee, Payton, and the four of us enjoyed the night together.  I only got one photo, of the kids.

Christmas Eve we went to Ron's mother's for dinner and presents.  It was a great dinner and we were spoiled rotten!  The kid's got a new trampoline that they can hardly wait to be set up at home!

After dinner, we went to my dad's for dessert and another gift exchange.  I didn't get any photos there, but I will post the ones my dad took when he sends them.
Christmas Day was quiet and nice.  The kids made the nice list and Santa brought a new bike for Braison and a new vanity for Lilian.

We took a couple photos to mark the holiday.

Grandma and Grandad stopped by for a minute to spoil us some more.

Thank you to everyone who made our Christmas special.  We are so lucky to have so much family close and be able to spend time with the ones that we love.  We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Christmas Cheer and Catching Up

We are finally moved and almost settled.  So, now I can catch up on Christmas and get back to blogging regularly.

We had quite the Christmas celebrations this year.  The weekend before we went to my mom's for dinner/gifts with my mom, John, BJ and family.  It was a very nice evening and we were spoiled rotten.  I think John got some photos of the evening, but I don't have any.

Christmas Eve Eve we had dinner and then went to look at lights.

On Christmas Eve we had a brunch for my mom's side of the family.

Unfortunately, I didn't get photos of anyone else.  But, I got a couple of cute ones of the kids in their Christmas outfits.

Lilian and DeeDee had matching dresses

Then, we went to Ron's mom's house for Christmas Eve dinner.  It was so great to spend some time with them and we were spoiled there as well.  I didn't take any photos there, not sure why.  When we got home we put on new pajamas and opened up gifts from other family members and each other.

THANK YOU UNCLE TYLER AND AUNT CHARLEY!!

THANK YOU UNCLE KEN AND AUNT PAM!!

We got ready for bed and left some cookies and milk out for Santa.

On Christmas morning, we finally woke the kids up at 9 so that we would have time for breakfast and to check out what Santa brought before we had to leave for church.

The kids LOVE the LeapPads that Santa brought. 

After church, a little more playing, and naps we headed to my dad's house for Christmas dinner.  It was a WONDERFUL dinner, as usual and great company.  We were, of course, spoiled there as well.  My dad has photos, but I haven't got them yet.

We had a wonderful holiday and are so grateful for all of our family and being able to celebrate the birth of Jesus!

We celebrated my mom and Ron's birthdays at a little place in Star called "Sully's" 

This is how my mom felt about turning 52

This is how Ron felt about turning 33 :o)

More to come soon!
