Krazy Kayli

I was trying to figure out what to do with Kayli's hair one morning. This was one of the options I came up with. Kayli thought it was pretty funny.

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas this year. The kids woke up after 7:00 a.m. which we thought was amazing. They were so excited to see what Santa brought them. We had so much fun opening gifts, eating a yummy breakfast and playing with our new toys. We got to stay home all day. My sister and her kids came by late that night and the kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins. It was a fabulous day!

Tyler got a bunch of Star Wars Action Figures

Zach with his new Ramp Raceway


Kayli got some American Girl Doll accessories.

Zach got an Imaginext Ocean Boat from Santa

Tyler got an Imaginext Ocean Liner and a Submarine from Santa

Kayli got a pink DSi with games and all the accessories from Santa

Tim usually ends up getting mostly "toys" for Christmas, since anything practical he needs, he just buys. So one of the gifts I gave him was a Lego Creator Truck and 4-wheeler with a trailer, which kept him busy building for a few hours. It is very cool.

For those of you who know of Tim's love for donkeys... I had this T-shirt and water bottle custom made for him. I think he was pretty excited.

I got Clip-it-ups from Tim...I am very excited, it is like a "carousel" for all your scrap booking stickers, embellishments, brads, etc. NICE!

Christmas Eve PJ's

This year I decided to start a new family tradition. Each year on Christmas Eve they get to open a present with new PJ's. I didn't tell them what was in their presents this year and all day they were so anxious to open it, finally just before we went to our Christmas Eve Party we let them open them. They were very excited. Especially Zach, we gave him the cutest Toy Story PJ's. He wanted them on and then he wouldn't take them off. So we just let him stay in them all night for our Christmas Eve party and most of Christmas.

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we had a family get together with Tim's family. We had a buffet of all sorts of appetizers and did a chocolate fountain for dessert. We played games, and opened presents.
Kayli got a CD from Alyssa

Tyler got a blue squishy toy and Darth Mal from Gavin

Zach got Toy Story Characters from Greyson which he didn't put down the rest of the night and even slept with them all.

A Hidden Talent you didn't know we had...make sure you pause the music at the bottom of our blog.

It's Christmas Time!!!

I am so excited this time of year is here. We LOVE Christmas! The lights are on the house, the tree is decorated, all the decorations are in place, and the kids rooms are decorated. We went a store and let them pick out their new ornament for this Christmas to put on their tree. Kayli got a pink guitar, Tyler got a red guitar and Zach got Elmo. This year we have a new Elf. Her name is Elise. The are so excited to have "our" here and look forward to finding her in a different spot every morning. Santa sent her to our house to make sure the kids are being "good." This is such a fun time of year!
