Christmas Morning 2011

Opening Stockings

Zachary loves to pretend that he is Sonic, and he runs around all crazy like.

So he really liked the Sonic hat that Santa gave him.

Zach's own game system that he can play in the car.

Kylie got the IPOD that she had asked for.

A set of CARS 2 cars.

New games for the WII.

Chloe and her horse.

Chloe and Sydnee just loved having Uncle Kelly hold them.

Sydnee must have been tired, she climbed into the baby dolls bed.

Santa came to Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Santa Claus came to visit the kids.  It was great!  They were all so surprised to see him.

It looks like the only one I missed getting a picture of was Chloe on Santa's lap!

Santa leaving, so he could head out to deliver presents.

Opening Cousins Presents and PJ's - Christmas 2012

Kylie wasn't feeling too well this year, so she had to keep her distance from all of the cousins.  I felt really bad for her.

Getting all the grand kids to sit down together is quite the chore, so this is the best one that I got!

Opening up Ginger Bread Dolls from Grandma and Grandpa

Oh, my cute little kiddo's.  I sure wish they were this nice to each other all the time.

Miss Chlie, opening presents from cousins.

I don't think that I was able to get a picture of everyone, but here are the few that I did get.

Zach took grandma by surprise and took her picture!

Zach loves his guitar.

Nathan and Zach, (wouldn't ya know he's lookin for gold!)

Grandpa and Uncle Ronnie

What a rockin man he is.  He said that this was his guitar playing face.

Sydnee with her new pillow.

Decorating Ginger Bread Men Cookies

For Christmas Eve my mom decided to buy all of the grandkids gingerbread boys and girls.  So I thought that it would be fun to have the kids decorate little cookies.  I think it ended up being more of a mess but they had fun making and eating their creations.

Zach, Nathan, and Kinsey

Kylie (she doesn't look to happy because she wasn't feeling too well?)

Zach was so proud of his finished product!

Snowmen

Spent the weekend crafting, and of course the kids wanted to paint too!
Here Zach is painting his little snowman.



Here is the snowmen that I was making. I got this great idea from another blog called So You Think Your Crafty.
I decided that I want to make one for myself, my mom, and my mother in-law.
I think they turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself.



Here is a closeup of one of them.



Kylie painting an apple that goes with her teacher's gift for Christmas this year. I will have to post on that one when we get it finished.

Visiting Santa 2011

For some reason Zach decided that he needed to be afraid of Santa this year!



Kylie forgot what she was going to ask for as we were walking out the door. I told her that she must not have wanted what ever it was too badly if she couldn't remember it.



Here we are with the little stinker who was so not afraid last year, but this year he wanted nothing to do with the big guy.



When we walked out and he realized that he hadn't told Santa what he wanted for Christmas, we had to go back in so he could try it again. He sure doesn't look too happy though!

Craftaholics Gift Exchange 2011

I once again participated in the Craftaholics Gift Exchange.
My partner Kimberly was from South Carolina.
Here is the gift that I made for her!
Hope you like it Kimberly!
