Christmas Morning 2010

Cache was the first one awake on Christmas morning....he was just so excited that Santa came.....

(actually he just wanted his morning bottle)

Checking out their gifts

Max and Jeff

(I don't have any pics of Kade.....I think he was off hiding playing his new DS)

 Kenzie excited about her new Jesse Doll, and Jack excited about Lego Batman!

Cache loving his new blocks

Jackson was so excited about this Dragon from the Movie, "How to Train Your Dragon"

It is Night Fury-Toothless and Hiccup.  If you haven't seen that movie, I would recommend it.

We had a great Christmas!  Thanks to everyone that we celebrated with!

Christmas Eve 2010

This year we spent Christmas Eve at my parents house.  We started the evening off with pictures, and dinner.

 I think this is the only family photo we have since Cache has been born, how sad is that?!

 My kids....why does Kenzie always have to be so happy?

After dinner we act out the Nativity Story from the Bible 

 We had 2 of the 3 Wise men, A Shepard, Mary and Joseph

(We had to keep an eye on the little Wise man in white, he wanted to keep stealing the gold for Baby Jesus)

 My Dad reading the Christmas Story from the Bible

After the Christmas Story the kids get to open a present from their cousin gift exchange and their Christmas Jammies.  They love this time, as they have been waiting ALL DAY to open a present!

 Jeff SUPER EXCITED about his gift:)

This year Uncle Clint was fortunate enough to get some new Christmas jammies too!!!!!

 After all the fun and excitement we try and get all the kids to bed.....which takes a while:)

But it is fun to all stay together.  After the kids are down, we are lucky enough to get to spend a few hours playing games and hanging out with just the adults.  We always stay up Way too late, but that's the fun of it, right??

Christmas Tradition

Every year my mom gets the kids an ornament for our tree.  They really look forward to these ornaments, especially now that they are a little older and realize it's their own to hang on the tree.  My Grandparents did this tradition with me and my siblings, and we all loved it.  The anticipation of what we would get that year, and it's fun because now we all have our own ornaments for our trees.  I call mine, the tree with character, and most ornaments I remember the year that I got it, which is fun.  So here are the kids with theirs from this year.

 Jack got Luke Skywalker....he is really into Star Wars this year!

 Kenzie got Cinderella, what girls doesn't love a Disney Princess?

And Cache, he got his Baby's First Christmas ornament, which was Winnie the Pooh.  But as you can tell all he wanted was to eat the box and paper!  Jack and Kenzie got quite the laugh out of that.

Thanks Mom and Dad!
