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.

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.
