THE MARONEY MOB

Christmas #5 (Christmas Morning)

Christmas morning is always spent at our house with just the 4 of us....It's my favorite Christmas, of course, just hanging out with the kiddos and enjoying them....
Kohen is so good b/c he knows I don't like him to look in the living room until we all go in there together (I know that won't last much longer)....But he had a "nightmare" around 3 am and Kerry just let him sleep with us so that it wouldn't be an issue in the morning...
At 8 am, he finally came over to my side of the bed since he had been just laying around in his chair at the foot of our bed and asked when we were going to go into the living room...
Luckily, he's a patient little guy and let me go and get Kresee and everyone's milk cups made...I had to let Kresee use the restroom and semi-put her hair back....Then I had to get my camera and video camera ready so I could film them walking into the living room:)

Kresee really wanted a white puppy with a bone...Luckily "cookie" was big this year and Santa brought her this pup and some Hello Kitty rain boots....Santa only brings the kids one big gift and one smaller one...Then some good stocking stuff....

Santa brought Kohen this big ole AT/AT (all terrain) transport...So he had to go upstairs and bring down all his Star War guys...And his small gift was the game Operation....

Opening up our presents....

Kohen wanting to just love and snuggle with Daddy for a little bit....He is such a sweetie sometimes

Kresee got him the Guess Who game...We got him a big army truck/helicopter set, a WWE rumblers set of guys, WWE rumbler semi-truck, nerf double swords, a shark/ship set, NCAA 12 and Star Wars for his PS3....

Kohen got her a Ken doll and Barbie doll...We got her an Ariel Mermaid doll, a little puppy set to go with her dollhouse, a stamp pad set, a sticker "make your own" jewelry box, a leapfrog write your number pad, a Fur Real polar bear, and a school bus phonics thing....

She loves this dog...Named her Abby....Santa did well:)

We ate cinnamon rolls...The kids hung out and played all morning....My living room was a complete disaster:)...Then we headed out to my Nana and Papa's for lunch and Christmas #6:

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!!
