But i am back and ready to update!
This Christmas i had a hard time getting into the spirit, I dont know why, but it was just a hard one! I stress myself out trying to do everything and make everyone happy, and so sometime i have a hard time looking forward to the holidays!
But once Christmas eve came i got excited cause my little monsters were crazy!
They had so much fun visiting everyone and having everyone over at the house, eating treats, presents, decorations, santa, they loved everything about Christmas and just were bouncing off the walls crazy!
It was so fun!
I made these yummy truffles for some of my neighbors, (and mostly just for myself) I did, chocolate chip cookie dough, oreo, and brownie, they were easy and Grace had lots of fun delivering them with me!
Christmas eve we had my mom, Jerrica, Khole, Trueitt, and Jakell over for dinner! But Jerrica, Khole, Trueitt and Jakell all got the stomach flu we had!
First Grace got it, 24 hours later Alaynna got it, 12 hours after that Addison got it, 24 hours later I got it, and then while Jerrica was here, Kyle got it and gave it to her!!!!
Back to Dinner....
We had a yummy honey ham that Me, Kyle, The girls, and my mom ate in front of all the sicklings!!!!
Also all day we had a elf that was running around making sure that Grace was being good so Santa could still come and visit! My mom and Jerrica seen him running around, and they even seen him take a bite out of the truffles on the counter
(maybe that had something to do with why my children were bouncing off the walls with excitement!)
We made some Reindeer food and went and sprinkled it all over the back lawn!
Grace had to put it in 9 circles so that each one would have some, i think she has a obsessive compulsive gene that had to have came from Kyle!
Trueitt had alot of fun playing with Kyle outside, he pretty much just ran and was a little monster!
This is Grace showing me where the elf took a bite!
And this is elf footprints, that were in green chocolate!!!
Poor Alaynna looks kinda haggard, but we had no naps, so we were all a little haggard!
The kids at the "kid table" waiting for some food!
Grandma Merri was dancing with the kids, she likes to do the cupid shuffle with them and they all can do it!
We got to open the traditional Pj's! Grace was really excited, the girls just kinda tore some paper and they thought the paper was cooler than the actual Pj's!
Little Khole didnt really know what was going on, but she sure is cute!
Christmas morning Me and Kyle were up, showered, and waiting for our kids to wake up! When the twins woke up we decided to go get Grace! She is not a morning person in the least, so she said she was still tired and wanted to sleep. But after we told her Santa had came she was wide awake!
Santa brought the twins leap frog Puppy Pals and strollers, he should have wrapped them up, because they didnt open up hardly any other presents cause they were racing around the house with them!
The strollers make great catch alls, they love to put everything they can find in them and then push away!
It took along time to get all of the presents opened, cause we had to look at everything and try it out!
They loved everything and it was so fun to watch them!
Grace got a doll house and a tinker bell comforter!
She was for sure it was a pillow!
They also got some play food for the kitchen,
And Grace got a Tinkerbell tea set, as you can see she loved it!
Really, loved it!
This is pretty much how the house had looked since Christmas, toys everywhere and happy kids playing!
When Grace went to see if the Reindeer had ate the food she sat out, Me and Kyle noticed Santa had left something else for the girls, but Grace didnt notice it till we made her look!!!
She turned to us and said "what the?" Then asked if she could go jump in it!
After we got done talking to Luke, opening up more presents from Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Penn, like a memory foam mattress cover for our rock hard bed, (ya we were spoiled) little bee cars for the twins, and a walk the dog barbie with a dog that really poops, (for real, haha), we headed down to Great grandma and Grandpa Leavitts house for some more family time and lunch!
We didnt stay for long cause my Mom, Dad, Jerrica, Jakell, Khole, and Trueitt all came over and it looked like santa had came again!
I think that the biggest hit was the trampoline and yes notice that we dont even have jackets on cause it was so warm. The kids were out there for along time running around wearing themselves out!
My dad even got on there and did a back flip and didnt break anything!!!
Grandma Merri and Grace played with her new model that you can do her hair, but for some reason Grace ended up with all the crazy stuff in her own hair!!
We had such a great Christmas and I didnt even mind that there was no snow or freezingness
I loved that we got to see pretty much all the family and the kids were nice even without naps!!
I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas as much as we did, now i am off to "help" Kyle with the bathroom project we have started finally!!!!!!
