The kids looking so cute on the way to Church the Sunday after Christmas. If you click on this photo you see that Kaydence got a haircut. I love it short and we'er growing her bangs out, I think it makes her look older though. I still can't believe she is already five!
This is what we woke up to Christmas eve morning, a blizzard warning. I can't think any time when we have gotten that much snow. I'm not sure about Glen but this was the first time the kids and I had a white Christmas, that I can remember at least. It was so pretty and the kids had fun playing in it after the wind stoped. I know I'll never forget this years Christmas season for many reasons.
Our poor pine tree looked pretty sad for a couple of days but it survived!
Just trying to keep warm during the blizzard. He loves our dogs the brown one is Daisy, and the black dog with the giant mouth is Jake!
I love seeing him so happy, he's a great kid.
These cows are covered with ice I felt bad for them.
Getting ready to bake cookies for Santa on Christmas eve for the first time in both of their lifes. I'm not a baker in anyway so as you can see we went with the already made store bought ones for Santas sake, but they were so excited to see if he would actually come to our house it did'nt matter if we made them or bought them.
They were so excited to leave the milk and cookies out for Santa on Christmas eve, but to tell you the truth I think I was just as excited since Glen and I have never had children around at Christmas it was so special to see them so... happy and interested in the true reason for the season and all the fun things you get to do during this holiday season. It was priceless to me, children bring so much joy and happiness to a home!
This is what our tree looked like Christmas morning before the kidos woke up (This was the first year that they had a Christmas tree.) The unwapped presents are the ones Santa brough them, he even left them a note. It was kind of sad to me though because Slade was so excited that Santa snuck into our house, ate the cookies, drank the milk, and brought gifts but, right after he said that he said I must be good now because Santa had never came to their mothers house before. We love them so much and we were so happy that we were able to do all the things this special season brings, and especially share the true meaning of Christmas day with them.
Slades big present was a wii. It was so cute because he had no idea he was getting one. Thats all he would say he wanted when anyone asked but, we had convinced him they were to expensive so not to be upset because gifts are fun to get but, thats not what Christmas is about, so anyhow it was great to suprise him!
Kaydes was a barbie glamour camper she loves that thing. She would play with her barbies all day if we would let her, I used to be the same way when I was little :)
Ok now please don't think badly of me this is the only time I have ever let them have a coke. I just liked the bulb bottle. Oh and don't ask me how I fit all those crafts in their stockings.
What snow angels on Christmas day is Altus, OK I can't remember us ever havng a white Christmas here. After they opened their gifts and ate breakfast we let them go play in the snow for a little bit, they had a blast !
The sun was shining so it was a great day to play in the snow!
She is growing to fast. Extremely beautiful and what a smile :)
