Christmas Day

Santa was so good to us this year. He gave the kids all laundry baskets filled with presents. This year Rowen and Burgen didn't know what was going on but they loved opening presents. We had church at 11 so we opened all the stuff from Santa and had breakfast. We had a good friend Ngiri Chavis and Kits parents over. It was so fun and it was a good pause in the action.  

 After Church we went over to grandma and grandpas and opened presents over there. It was so fun and Kits mom made a very good lunch.

 We came home and opened presents from the family and cleaned up. Then the Missionaries came over and called there families I loved hearing how happy they were to talk to there families it brought back so many memories. I miss my mission days but love the ones I have now.

 The twins love this when we blew it up it was so cool you throw the balls in the top and then they roll down the road to the middle. So cool. What a good Christmas. They just keep getting better.  

Christmas EVE

Christmas Eve is one of the funnest days of the year. The kids are so excited and so are we. I have so much fun with the kids making cookies playing and watching Christmas movies. The twins wanted Cheetos. One of the first things we did was find the Santa tracker on NORAD. It was so fun to see what he had already done.

 Elfis brought the kids all an early Christmas present. They all got new pillow pets. They loved it because they were able to have them while we watched Christmas movies.

 For breakfast we had snowman and snowflake pancakes. they were so good. For dinner we went with Kits parents to IHOP. It was so much fun to go out with the kids. We kept them up all day so they would sleep at night.

We got new pj's this year thanks to grandma and grandpa airplane. They are so cute. We are so excited for Christmas.

Our Elfis

We had a funn elf this year. The kids named him Elfis. He was in a new hiding place every day. The first thing the kids did was look for him every morning. The had a few days were he pulled some pranks on us. One of which he got ahold of a blue marker and wrote on all our faces while we were sleeping. It took a while to get it off the sneeky little elf.

Poler Express

Mikyn had her Polar Express day today at school. They get to all Dress up in there Pj's and watch the movie and have Hot Chocolate.

 She wanted to wear her robe to school. I did her hair way cute. Thanks to Gerryn for all the cute bows.

 I don't think I put this up yet but it is a picture of our tree all finished. The kids have gotten to it though. But I still love it.

Only a few days left!

Ginger Bread House!

Well we finally did it our ginger bread house for the year! It was so much fun. We made if from scratch. It was my first year making royal icing by myself it wasn't that bad. The kids had so much fun making the house. The twins we asleep already but next year I think they will be able to make it.

 Mom and Carsen worked together and did three sides. We have a snowman for each of us.

 Mikyn and Kit did the other sides. It looked so cute we love it.

Also have a letter for each of there names. We are so excited for Christmas.

Grandma Airplane Suprised us!

We were so excited to have Grandma Airplane surprise us. She didn't tell anyone but Kit and came out for a week. On Sunday Kit told me he was going out with the missionaries. So I ended up going to his parents with the kids. Well it was time to come home and Kit wasn't going to be able to make it. So I got home and got the kids ready for bed and was finally relaxing. Then I get a text from Kit saying he is trying to find someone a place to stay. We left it at that and then a while later he said he was letting them stay at our house for a few days. Kit doesn't do things like that unless he trusts them so I said that was fine. I didn't realize it tell they were about 5 min away that it was my mom. She was texting lots of crazy stuff and then she rang the door bell. The kids were all asleep. She woke up Mikyn and Carsen and had a few minutes of fun. Then we were able to stay up and talk about lots of stuff.  

 The next day the twins remembered her. They went right to her and played on her phone. They had so much fun playing in the bath with bath fome. We played Christmas bingo almost everyday. Grandma had gotten lots of prizes and the kids were in heaven. It lasted throughout the whole week.

 We were so excited to have grandma here Mikyn had her play the next night it was so cute. She was one of Santa's reindeer. She did such a good job and the boys loved it.

 This is Mikyns teacher Ms. Cook She is such a cute teacher I am so glad Mikyn is in her class.

 We went to the movie with grandma, we saw Arther Christmas. It was such a cute show. The kids had so much fun we were the only ones in the Theater so we didn't have to worry to much about how loud the kids were and where they sat.

The week went by way to fast. We miss her so much. But we can't wait tell next summer when we are going to go out and see the whole family! We love y'all Merry Christmas.

Getting Ready For Christmas

Well we are so excited for Christmas. This year Grandma and Grandpa Airplane gave us a new advent calender I love it so much. The kids had so much fun putting all the candy in the socks. We are going to use our other advent calender to. We are going to have one in the morning and one at night.  

Our Christmas tree is half decorated I ran out of white tool. So I need to get more and finish it. I talked Kit into letting me get a new tree this year it is 9' I love it we needed it with our new vaulted ceiling in our family room. I love it every time I walk in. And it is pre lit so I don't have to put any lights on it. It was so nice.  

We were so grateful for the Missionaries who came over and helped us on thanksgiving to put up all our Christmas stuff and Shake the Pecan trees. We had such a good time with them. We are so excited for Christmas and the kids are trying to be extra good.

Turkey Trap

 Well the kids set a good Turkey Trap this year for Thanksgiving.

 They decided that the turkey would love some popcorn. So we put down some popcorn for the bate.

They got up at 430 in the morning because they saw feathers all over. I never knew that kids could get this excited on thanksgiving. It was like Christmas.

Well needless to say the turkey got away and left the kids some Reese's cups and some turkey and Pilgrim rubber duckies. Mabe we can catch him next year. Good thing grandma Mattie cooked one for us this year.

Carsens Program

 Today was Carsen's Thanksgiving performance. He did such a good job. He sangsongs and did the First Thanksgiving play. We are so proud of him.

The boys did so good and loved waching all the kids sing songs, and clap when they were done. Good Job Carsen! We love you!

Sometimes you just need to take a picture.

 We were decorating Mikyns turkey for school. We needed to use lots of different things and be creative. Well I got out all the craft stuff. When I looked down to get a glue stick this is what the twins were doing! I was wondering why they were so good. So needless to say one of those things you just take a big deep breath and then a picture.

It took forever to get it up and the twins still have glitter in there hair today! Funny boys!

Fall Leavs

 The Kids had so much fun playing in the leaves. They kept raking them up in a pile and jumping in them. Kennedy came over to play with them to. All the kids love playing with her.

 Everyone would count "one, two, three..." and throw them in the air. Even the twins.

I think they all loved it but Burgen wouldn't leave the pile for anything. A few more days and we will be picking up the pecans for Thanksgiving and then Christmas...

RACOON

Ever sence we had the racoon in yard the other year we have had a thing for them. My mom got the boys these shirts for the boys. And we had to get a picture of them with there dad.

this is all the kids before school in the morning. Everyone is up and going but me and dad. We still need more sleep but that will never happen again.

The Kids Before the Primary Program.

The kids were so excited to be in the primary program.

 So we put them in all of their Christmas clothes.

The kids did so good in the program. I was so proud of them. And the twins sat there very good for daddy to? What I was expecting to be a very stressful day the kids were so good. And it was a lot easier on me. I love you kids.
