Christmas.....

We were so very BLESSED this year!!!! We moved to Nebraska & Bryan started his great new job, we found a house with in a week of being here & we had our amazing Aunt Laurie & Uncle Marty & their AMAZING family have us for Christmas. Laurie spoiled us rotten with good food & entertainment. She made my mom's rocky road fudge & I think I ate the whole tray!! SO YUMMY!!!! The Girls had a great time too! Sarah & Katie were AWESOME!!! They took Kelsey, Lindsey & Sadie everywhere. I don't think I even changed a single diaper while I was there. We had a WONDERFUL time.

We spent Christmas Eve at Laurie & Marty's & then Christmas Day at The McKendrick's house for a wonderful dinner & great fun!!!

Here is a picture of Sadie on Christmas Eve. We were just getting ready to eat & I looked over at here & she was nodding off. So i grabbed the camera & this is what she did.....

....Passing out....

.......Trying to open her eyes, not quite ready to sleep yet she still has some more gold fish to eat......

....& she FINALLY gives up!!!!!

Oh man that was sure funny to watch!!! Pictures just don't do it justice!

Marty, Katie, Lindsey & Bryan. Bryan was explaining to Lindsey that Santa was coming that night so she needs to eat all her dinner!!

Sarah spread some oats all over the front yard so that the reindeer would find their house. I thought that was a great idea.

Nicci, Matt, Sarah, Sadie & Katie.

Katie & Sadie & Kelsey's head.

Katie was so good to Sadie! She was always holding her & making her laugh.

I couldn't decide which one of these was the best picture because they are ALL pretty FUNNY!!!! This is Christmas Eve after dinner & we were getting ready to open our 1 present under the tree. We put our camera on Laurie's book shelf & set the timer. It was too funny!!!

Opening 1 present each on Christmas Eve.

Laurie had this Santa tin that had all theses goodies in it & she could NOT get the lid on!! It was SOOOO FUNNY!!!

Kelsey & Sadie in their new princess PJ's.

After we opened presents Laurie has this cool bell set. They are a bunch of pipes that have been Numbered & cut to certain lengths so that when they hare tapped with a nail they play a certain note. Then she held up a poster board with the numbers written on it. We all took a pie & a nail & When Laurie pointed to your number you would tap your pipe. It was so COOL!!! We played a whole bunch of Christmas songs. We all laughed & had a great time.

Here is their beautiful tree & all the loot!!

Nicci was worse than all the little girls. She was so antsy to get down stairs. Here they are all waiting at the top of the stairs to come down & she what Santa brought!!

The girls got this GREAT stuff called 'Moon Sand' For Christmas & Laurie & Nicci were so cute playing with them!! They made such a mess!!
