Jeremiah and I both had the week off between Christmas and New Years. We tried to pack in a few fun things. We decided to take the kids bowling for the first time. It was so fun. Although they were more interested in getting popcorn from the concession stand and playing on the chairs we had a good time. Owen bowling for the first time. Kennedy bowling for the first time watching her ball One morning when I came out of the bathroom I discovered Owen standing on the counter. When I asked what he was doing he told me he was hungry and he was getting breakfast
Smart kid....he knew what he wanted too......daddy's chocolate he got from Santa.
Driving with daddy one morning in the snow. They thought they were pretty big stuff driving up and down the driveway! It was so funny when I opened the front window to wave they were just shrieking with delight.
We were blessed with another amazing Christmas season. The kids were very excited this year and were a little to into receiving presents. One thing we had decided on before we had kids was that we wanted to have them believe in Santa as long as they understood the REAL meaning for the season. When we went to visit Santa with Grandma and Grandpa the kids through a FIT.
We had two weeks of whirl wind parties. Luckily we were not sick over Christmas I started the flu bug on a Sunday and by the following Sunday we were finally all over it just in time for the festivities to begin. It was so sad seeing the kids sick with the flu!!Another reason we love the Holidays is because it gives us the chance to catch up family that we don't see often and Owen and Kennedy love to play with their 2nd and 3rd cousins. Christmas Eve we celebrated with our family of four. We decided to give the kids 3 gifts for Christmas just like baby Jesus received from the three Wise men. They have become a bit ungrateful and very into presents....we hope this will change quickly! Their big gift was a Leapster 2 it is for ages 4 -7 but they are always playing games on our phones so we thought hey would enjoy these learning games. Kennedy LOVES it and plays it often Owen tries once or twice and then is done. Owen's first gift a race track for his cars Kennedy a puppy that walks and barks (Check out Kennedy's lipstick!) Submarine Diego Kennedy very exited because she got the mermaid she has been asking for Opening their Leapsters Happy with their gifts Christmas morning when they saw "Santa" ate the milk and cookies and left them some stocking stuffers!
On Christmas Day we went to my parents house with my parents, brothers and my grandma's. We had a delicious dinner of prime rib!! We had a great time ;playing games all day and opening gifts. I forgot the camera!!! I took a few with my moms camera so hopefully I can upload them soon.
The Day after Christmas we went to Church for Christmas service which was WONDERFUL. We then headed to Jeremiah's aunts house for his moms side of the family. We had a great time as usual unfortunately I only have a couple of pictures. They were the entertainment for the party playing Ring around the Rosies
Kennedy Loved helping Aunt Cindy hand out the gifts
We had a great Christmas and Hope you all did too!
With a gift card they got for their birthday we decided bean bags would be a good gift. I always intended to get them those very cute Pottery barn chairs but they are expensive and I feel they are almost grown out of them by now so bean bags will do;) They came to the store with me to pick them out. Owen wanted the ones with a few sports balls on it and Kennedy wanted PLAIN pink she didn't want anything on it. They played on the for about an hour. Here are just a few of the pictures. Smile nice Kennedy put your glass down Owen not a silly smile Owen.......not a silly smile please
And for some reason this looks sillier And they are done
