Christmas Day

My family has a tradition that a sheet is put up in the hallway to block everyone but "Santa" from seeing the tree on Christmas morning. So, it was fun this year to be able to tape Kenzie holding up the sheet and running to some gifts that santa had set out for her to play with! She was so cute!!

Another tradition that my family has is that you receive new pajamas to wear for Christmas. So here are all the cuties in their new pajamas. Too bad the only one holding still was Evelynne. Garrett got his Christmas wish for Nike Shox!! Thanks Santa!!

Kenzie playing with a cute set of Dinosaurs. Once she pulled out all the dinos she handed them all to Grandma so she could move on to the next toy. So needless to say G-ma became her storage for toys!!

Later on we had a great dinner, dessert was an Italian cream cake that I made, and then games. It was a great time and had a blast spending time with everyone!! Thanks for everything!!

Christmas Eve

Rock band was a HUGE hit this Christmas! We all got to play and sing. Here is Garrett singing "La Bamba" from the top of his lungs!! Thanks Karl and Kasey for bringing it!

Now turn and cough...

My older sister and her beautiful family!!

Kenzie and Carson deemed it necessary to pull out all the toys! They had lots of fun playing together!

We had a great time with our appetizer bar, gingerbread house decorating, rock band, movies, and of course game playing. My dad did a great job making food with his great fryer!! Wings and chimis, it doesn't get any better!!

Craft Project gone wrong...

Have you ever made the decoration out of clear plastic cups and christmas lights? Well, that is what Garrett was attempting to do when he came to realize that the size cups we bought "were one size too small" (what movie)!! So, 10 dollars, and 72 cups later we have not even half of our christmas decoration!Oh well better luck next time!

Miss Destructor

As we laid Kenzie into bed she decided to throw her head through the rail of her nice crib!No, through the rail really?? You might be asking yourself, but it is true, she threw her head back so hard that it snapped the slat in half. So to ensure she didn't get hurt on it in the middle of the night we had to ghetto wrap it together. Hence, the plastic wrap to protect the wood, craft sticks to sturdy it, and tape to hold it all together. Patience is a virtue!!

Thanksgiving Fun

Our Thanksgiving was spent up at Garrett's parents house up in good old Winlsow! I spent most of Thanksgiving day baking the 6 batches of homemade gingerbread so that we could make houses later that night. as you can see I had some great help with the rolling of dough and cutting out the pieces!! Thanks to all involved!!Here is the fam decorating their houses with the assortment of candies and homemade icing cement! If you need a good recipe for cement frosting let me know!! This was awesome and tough as nails!!

Here we are going out on the four wheeler. Kenzie has a cow trying to put her on the four wheeler and then when you start going she has a blast!! She loved riding between Garrett and I and even got a turn driving!! When daddy wasn't looking and talking to Grandpa she decided it was time to go and hit the gas~what can you say she was ready to roll!!

We had a great time being with everyone and spending time together!!
