Christmas #3 and #4

Christmas #3 is spent every year at the Maroney's house on Christmas Eve morning...We got over there at 8:30 am to eat some breakfast...

Kresee needed her kitty cat all zipped up in her jacket so she wouldn't get too cold...

Getting a decent picture of Kohen these days are hard work...He gives the silliest faces or tilts his chin up to the ceiling...whatever:)

Eating some yummy breakfast (cinnamon rolls, biscuits, sausage, eggs, bacon) before opening gifts....

Present time:)...Kresee has a full house of animals now...She got a new bunny from her cousins...She loves it...

The girls both got a Barbie doll on a bicycle....

The boys both got helmets (Kohen thought they were for football?)

Kerry needed to try it on...

Then Maw let them open a box with a picture inside it....

Then they go out into the garage and see this!!...They were sooo excited...

Maw even cleared off some paths behind their house to drive this thing around ONCE the part comes in--haha...Poor guys really wanted to ride it...But it should be in the mail tomorrow....

The girls got a Barbie car

Then after the gifts we all went back in the house since the adults knew this guy was going to show up any minute.....

We had all the kids sit in Maw and Papa's lap...This is them right after Santa walked in with his loud voice...Scared the crap out of them...haha....

Kohen and Jaxson jump on up...Kohen has no idea what to tell Santa he wants (thank goodness)....

Kresee told me "I already sat in Santa's lap" (she did at the mall a few weeks ago)...So I didn't think she would go for Santa again...But she sucked it up and did....Now, she wasn't going to smile or talk for anything, but she sat in his lap for awhile:)....

Now Kenzie and Lexie wanted nothing to do with him...Maw tried to get them to cooperate, but no such luck....

Then we tried getting all the grandkids together (with Maw)....

Kresee, Santa and Kohen

Jaxson brought over his Wii and we played Just Dance all afternoon...It was a lot of fun:)...I am going to have to go and buy it for Kohen's PS3 for us to play at our house....And I'm awesome at it--haha...I give all my dancing credit to Zumba!

We hung out in our PJ's pretty much most of the day....We had to go get changed and dressed for 4:00 when Kerry's whole family came over for dinner and Christmas #4....We ate yummy soups and sandwiches...Played LCR (a dice game) and Kerry won the whole $42 pot, so that was fun...We then went to Kerry's Meme and Papa's house to open presents...That evening,

Kohen got a army gun, a gun that shoots water pellet things, moon dough, a squishy ball, and money

Kresee got her a puppy with vet accessories, a cute shirt, squishy ball, a set of ice cream sundae toys and money....

We then headed back home to bed since Santa was going to be on his way.....

Then fun part was getting Santa gifts out about 9:30 at night and realizing the batteries were dead in Kresee's puppy...So luckily JJ's gas station was open and was stocked full of "C" batteries and some "AA" batteries for Kohen's star wars toy as well...We probably shouldn't wait so late to next year--haha....

Christmas #2

We had Christmas #2 on Friday evening with my mom, sister and her husband....They came over and we ate some yummy Olive Garden...Then we just watched the kiddos open a bunch of gifts from them:)
I mean look at all this stuff!!

Kresee was just patiently waiting for everyone:)
Kohen got a rolling suitcase, hoodie/sweatpants, transformer watch, candy, OU blanket, and skateboard from my mom...

Kohen got a PS3 from Leslie and Paul...He was pumped...

Grammie got Kresee a scooter, a fur real kitty cat, a rolling suitcase, princess blanket and a penguin movie...

Leslie and Paul got her a My Twinn Doll....with lots of accessories and clothes to go with it....

Leslie got some new scarves so Kresee needed to wear one while carrying around her doll accessories and kitty cat....

We had a wonderful evening but were exhausted....We went to bed on time since we had to be at the Maroney's at 8:30 am Christmas Eve morning....

Christmas #1

Grandpa Randy and Sallye came over yesterday afternoon to kick off our 1st of many Christmases over the next few days....The kids were really excited to finally open a present...And Dad and Sallye never let 'em down:)

A cool Red River NM sweatshirt:)...haha...It looked familiar since she just bought it for him 2 days ago!....

Sallye helping Kresee open her book....

My sister had the kids yesterday for the afternoon...She painted a puppy and a frog on her face...Kohen was painted but I had already washed off his mask....

Kohen got a huge cage wrestling ring with a bunch of wrestling guys....It was awesome and he was so excited...Part of his gift is to take him in February to a real wrestling match...He is going to LOVE that.....

Kresee opening her big ole gift...She loves anything art...crayons, markers, paint, stickers, etc...They got her the nicest easel with a chalkboard on one side and dry erase board on the other...It also came with a big roll of paper...And they stocked her with markers, more paper, chalk, and paint:)...She will be set!

They got me the cutest OU boots ever!!...I love, LOVE them!!

Kohen was being a stinker and not cooperating during a quick picture...I had to take several...He was too busy trying to look at the Boise State game on the TV....

The kids were up this morning and right back at their gifts from last night...Bad mommy for not paying attention to Kresee while she expo markered the chalkboard...I got a wet washrag and was able to get most of it off...So we had a little talk about the differences and what we use on each side...I'm sure it will happen again:).....She is in love though with it!

Thanks Dad and Sallye...Merry Christmas!

Bulls #3

Kohen had his 3rd basketball game today...He played one of of the boys that plays on our soccer team--Shooting Stars....It was a close game the whole time and they all did really well....

Kohen is quite the little dribbler...In fact, he seems to get the ball every throw-in...He does a great job dribbling down the entire court, but then gets down there and turns to shield the ball...

Like this....We kept telling him that he had to be aggressive and dribble right on through to the net...He did better towards the end of the game after Kerry talked to him at half-time...

Lining up for a free throw...1st time he's done this...Of course the shortest one out there is the one closest to the rim--haha....

They have now tied one and lost 2...They only lost 7-5 this game...It was super close and was a lot of fun...They are understanding the game more and doing much better:)...Kohen was really close to scoring a basket a few times, but nothing went in....Great job Kohen...
