Christmas in a nutshell!

Okay so I am a loser and didn't take any pictures of my kids opening their presents.  But we did get it on video.

McKell was so proud of the cookies she decorated and maybe all that frosting was the reason we had such a hard time getting her to sleep.  We decorated cookies at Uncle Chad's house with lots of our cousins.

We had a little "discussion" on whether or not Santa wraps presents or just leaves them out.  This is McKell's pile and she almost ruined it.  She came down the stairs crying while Santa was trying to get her stuff ready.  Her dad went back upstairs with her to lay down with her.  He fell asleep with her and Mrs Clause had the privelege of finishing by herself.

This is Kennidee's pile of presents.  She had so much fun this year.  She didn't care what was under the wrapping she just wanted to rip the paper.

I think Santa is goint to have a belly ache after all the frosting on those cookies!

This was McKell's school Christmas program.  I have never laughed so hard ever.  McKell had her hands shoved in her pants almost the entire time. 

The mom's that knew me kept turning around and laughing and pointing at her.  I will never forget this concert and you can be assured I will be using the video as blackmail in the future.

They had a Santa at her school party and she stayed consistent in saying that she wanted all the toys.

We went to BJ's cousin Colby's in laws house on the Sunday before Christmas to a Christmas get together.  Where McKell got to see Santa.  Kennidee didn't stand still enough for me to get a picture.  My camera has been having issues.  If you look at my pictures you can definetly tell.

Well that wraps up 2009 for us.  A quick recap if that was an information overload.  12/19 we had the Dyer party I was in charge, also found out Shevlin had passed away, 12/20 Party with Colby, 12/21 School party, 12/22 Wyoming, 12/23 Wyoming funeral, 12/24 finishing christmas preparation and then it was Christmas.  I didn't forget about New Years but that was a long enough post for now and I will post it another day.
