Christmas Morning (#5)

When we got home on Christmas Eve from the Maroney's, I attempted to take the dark picture with only the Christmas lights on...I was not doing to well, so Kerry helped me out and he got a few that I liked...We got all snuggled for a movie and then sat milk/cookies out for Santa and then were off to bed....


 Surprisingly, Kerry and I were awake for awhile before the kids even woke up...We just waited in the living room for them....Kohen got a Nintendo 3DS-XL with Super Mario Bros 2 from Santa
 Santa brought Kresee a new bike with a cool helmet....
Sugar, as always, was ecstatic when the kids finally woke up...


 Trying out her new bike she was so excited about but it quickly went away...She got better as the day went on but felt uneasy on it...
 Ellie soaking in the warm fire and lounging with Kerry

 Kohen went to art class to paint Kresee's favorite animal--the penguin

 
 

 Over the past few weeks, Kresee has been gathering her things and "wrapping them" so I had some things to open on Christmas Day...Too sweet....
 Kerry got me a new gun...Something I wasn't expecting...Kinda think it was more of a present for him as well--haha


Ellie loves laying on a pillow by the fire...It's her favorite spot...
Breakfast time after we opened presents...
 Old Hunter...He has spent many, many Christmases with us...I thought last year might have been his last one with us but here he is again...He will be 15 in February:)
 
 They said it was going to snow and we sure got a pretty White Christmas...In fact, the roads weren't up for driving so we hung out all day at the house and stayed snowed in...We cancelled our Christmas with Nana and Papa to the following day....The dogs LOVED it of course...These young pups think the snow is the best thing ever...
 
 
 
 It was a great day hanging out with just the kids and Kerry...It was also nice since I was still sick and gave me a chance to rest and relax....

Christmas #4

Christmas #4 is spent at the Maroney's...We head over there around 4:00 to eat sandwiches and then open presents with all the Maroney's that come into town from the Dallas area...Kresee helped pass out all the presents to everyone 
 The boys got a BB air soft gun...Should be interesting...
 Meme and Papa with their great-grandkids...So blessed that Meme was around this Christmas...We, unfortunately, weren't sure if she would be...She's had a rough year and we are so very thankful for each day she continues on....
 Kohen hanging out with Dad
 Me and my hubby:)
Home to bed for Christmas day tomorrow!!

3rd Christmas

Christmas Eve morning we always go over to Maw and Papa's house in our jammies to eat breakfast and open presents with the cousins...
 Kohen is having a hard time smiling realizing that Kresee has more presents to open...I tried explaining the other day that his stuff costs more and so he needs to be prepared for that...He was fine, but I could tell he was counting gifts--haha

 The girls got a big doll house with a million things to go in it....I didn't take a picture of it...Must have forgot
The boys got an all-in-one play table...I think they tried everything out that day....
 Family picture
 Attempted a cousin picture...Kenzie didn't want any part of it, so I was happy to get her to sit down for one second to snap a picture...
I hung out for a little bit then left them all over there to play while I went home and laid in bed and napped for the day...I knew I needed to gear up for Christmas #4 this evening and this cold was really getting to me...

Church Nativity Play

 Today both kids got to participate in the Children's Nativity play at OneLife Church...They were both very excited about it and it was super cute...They loved being a wiseman and an angel...




 At the end of the service, all the kiddos go back on stage to sing and sign Silent Night...It was so neat watching all of them and I loved it:)
