Christmas Fun!

It has always been tradition, even when James and I were dating, newlyweds, and Kennedie was a newborn, that we all stay at my parent's house on Christmas Eve. This has always been such a fun time and something that we all look forward to each and every year! Well, Colton decided to break a new record this year and get up extra early. Well, Kennedie heard him and soon the entire house was up! James was scheduled to work at the fire station on Christmas Day, so we had planned to do our Christmas early anyway (so it worked out well!). Mom was so sweet to make her wonderful Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, especially for James, since he missed it last year. Here's a great picure of Kennedie's face as she came out of the room!

And here's Colton with his new workbench! He ran right to it! He was literally shaking with excitement!!! Apple kept asking me if he was cold...he was just so excited about the tools!!!

Kennedie has been wanting an ironing board of her very own and when Santa heard that there was one that matched her pink kitchen set...well, let's just say it was a lucky day!

He set his chocolate milk right up there on his work bench, then found a present that was just the right size to sit on...too funny!

And, if he looks a little excited about this next gift....that's because HE IS! And, so are all the other boys in the house! It's a Nerf M60 Machine gun...voted toy of the year, and it has not been put down yet! The adults are playing with it, the kids are fighting over it, James is setting up cups, dolls, toys, anything he can thing of...just to shoot down! It has not gotten old!

And this last sweet picture...just about melted my heart! I just happened to look over and C had gotten into her lap, with no prompting, to check out his new big wheel from Apple. Is that not precious???

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
