What a busy two weeks we have had!! We had a great Christmas, and are now trying to get used to going back to school and being on a schedule! Here's a little bit of our Christmas celebration:
We started Christmas Eve by celebrating with my family:
I made Zoey and Hannah little matching outfits...they were so cute!
Grandma and Grandpa always go a little overboard with the presents!
This Christmas moose, er reindeer, or whatever it was, was a big hit with the kids.
Hannah loved it too!
My sister got my brother in law and Joel matching "Christmas Sweater" shirts.
Zoey started getting tired but was nice and cozy in Grandpa's lap!
Zoey got her very own pink chair! It looks so cute in her room.
Our Family
After we napped, we went to church and came home to get ready for Christmas night. We read about Jesus birth, and then got to open our Christmas Jammers so we could wear them to bed.
the boys
Me and sis
the boys and dad
It took a while for Gavin to fall asleep, but finally he did and us parents actually got to bed at a decent hour. Kaden got up first Christmas morning when he heard us making coffee. He was so excited!
look at that face!
Gavin was a little more tired....
This is Kaden's favorite "show" on Christmas morning. He always asks to 'watch the fireplace' :)
the boys reading their letter from Santa
All three kidos. We woke Zoey up to do presents...she wasn't too thrilled about that.
she did love her baby doll in her stocking though....
Presents!!
slippers
Kade loves his new lunch box and wants to bring his lunch everywhere.
a new shooter!!
All Gavin asked for this Christmas was a trash truck....go fugure. My parents bought him Stinky, and we bought him the little one. He was happy!
Santa brought both of them a new drum set.
Kaden is already practing...he loves it!
Zoey enjoyed playing with the boys new power tools set....safety 1st!
It was a great morning! Later that afternoon, we went over to Joel's parents and celebrated once again...but I didn't take many pics, unfortunately. the kids were spoiled rotten, and it was a wonderful couple of days.
Later on in the week we decided to take a spur of the moment trip up to Flagstaff to play in all the snow that had just fallen. Zoey managed to stay awak the whole way up....until about 15 minutes before we got to the sledding place.
she spent the first hour of sledding in the car sleeping!
Kaden and Gavin are ready to go!
Gavin and I did some hills together
Kade had a blast, and went on a number of hills alone, and also went on some pretty big ones with Joel.
Joel took Zo Zo down the bunny hill
Gavin went down a couple hills and then complained of how cold he was. He spent the rest fo our time doing this....and was perfectly content playing in the car!
Zoey in her snow gear..she looked sooooo cute!
Gavin must have really played hard in the car because this is what he did on the way home.
We stopped for dinner on the way home and look who woke up! A little bed head, anyone?
Now, back to school, schedules, and routines....that is until summer vacation starts!
