Christmas 2011

So, the last 2 Christmases have been kind of lame. At least for me they have. Last Christmas I was just ready to have Kenley and that's pretty much all I focused on. This Christmas we were building our new house and doing lots of packing instead of doing fun Christmasy stuff. I LOVE the Christmas season and I'm sad that I let other things consume me so I couldn't get into the Christmas spirit!! So, I making a vow RIGHT NOW that next Christmas we are going to do every Chritmasy thing there is to do!!!!
The kids still had a good Christmas and that's all that really matters I guess! Except, they missed out on a lot of fun things that we usually do.
Christmas Eve we did the usual with my parents coming over and letting the kids open their Christmas jammies!! We had a yummy ham dinner thanks to my awesome hubby and watched the nativity movie.
Christmas morning I woke up to the sound of toys being played with. Luckily it was just Kenley's little bike. But, I'm POSITIVE they would have started opening presents if I hadn't heard that and come out.

The older kids in their new jammies! Kenley isn't quite sure what to do at this point!Kayston's favorite present was his skeleton science kit! Bry's was her new snow white doll. She even got her own snow white dress!Kenley's was her new princess bike AND the wrapping paper!
The kids loved all their presents and couldn't wait to head over to Gramma Debby's to show them what they got and of course to open even more presents over there.

After we finished up at my parents house we headed to Idaho to see Preston's family for Christmas!! We always love going to Idaho even if it is just for one night. This trip was extra special because EVERYONE was there!! This doesn't happen too often so we had to get a picture!! We had lots of fun playing games, making ginger bread trains, eating yummy food, and visiting. As soon as we got home there was a lot more packing to do. Needless to say, our Christmas tree was down the day after Christmas. I'm already looking forward to next Christmas so we can actually enjoy it and not have to worry about anything else!!!!!
