Christmas

Even Great Grandma played the wii, she wasnt' even sore the next day :)

Our small nativity children (Zek as Joseph, Kesiah as Mary and Mya as an angel with baby Keeley as baby Jesus)

The kids absolutely loved Christmas this year. They were so excited. We had our Christmas party on Sunday the 20th at Debs and then Christmas eve we played games and the kids got to open their pjs from Grandma Naylor (aren't they so cute?) Chaysee woke up first because she has been sick with croop. She was up around 5am and then Zek woke up at 6am. He woke everyone else up and the opening began. Zek got the guitar he wanted and Mya got a Disney Princess castle. Chaysee got some clothes and toys. Santa did a great job at our house and must have been really busy filling 14 stockings. Yes this is what Christmas looks like for 14 people. We were glad to have Travis and Angie here with us and Tracy and Christian. On Christmas morning we went to Great Grandmas for breakfast (waffles, eggs, bacon, ham, strawberries and whip cream, we even had orange julius). Although we didn't get much time with Travis, the kids had a great time building train tracks and knex. We got some great movies this year and the kids even got a teepee. We hope Santa found all of you and we wish you a Happy New Year!

Chaysee 8 months

Chaysee is 8 months this week. It is amazing how time flies. She is so big, I can't believe it. She looks like she could be one, but no not yet. She still isn't crawling. She is just tall enough that if she turns horizontal in her crib, she gets stuck. She says "daddadadada.." she drools all day long and constantly has to wear a bib. She thinks she needs to eat what everyone else is eating and no baby food. She finally has enough hair on top to wear a little hair clip. She loves to be talked to and carried everywhere (probably why she doesn't crawl).

Funny things the kids have said lately

Mya is shaking presents

I say: What if its clothes?

Mya: that was not on my list

Today there was no school (roads were too icey)

Zek: mom I get to miss school on a WEDNESDAY! SWEET!

Holiday Cookie Decorating!

It's that time of year. SUGAR COOKIES! My kids love making sugar cookies, but their favoite part is the decorating. They don't really like to eat them, but they love pouring those piles and piles of sprinkles all over. Yesterday my mom made the cookies and let the kids cut them and then I frosted them, while they went sprinkle crazy. Do your kids love sprinkles? The funny part is we have all these decorated cookies and nobody will eat one with sprinkles. :)

It has been really cold today. Last night it was so windy. I decided I would much rather have snow or rain, no wind.

I am done with finals! I am so excited to have this quarter over with, I turned in my finals and said a little prayer. Next quarter I have math, criminal justice (only because it was the only thing left online) and philosophy (same reason as criminal justice).

The kids just keep growing and growing. I had to take measurements for Christmas pjs yesterday and Chaysee is almost as big around as Mya LOL! Oh well. Also the stocking is Chaysees-Aunt Deb has made all our stockings since my mom and dad got married, so I bought the material and asked her to sew one for Chaysee, isn't it so cute? I know not really Christmas colors, but fun and girly.
