Merry Christmas!

Although Christmas card photo shoots are one of my least favorite things, I am thrilled with the way our card turned out this year. Merry Christmas to you and your family from our CRAZY family!

Christmas Eve was as exciting as usual. We headed over to Nanny and Papa's for dinner, gifts and wrestling with cousins! Miss B. was thrilled with everything she got from Nanny and Papa. (as if you couldn't tell)

She loved her soft new red robe and slippers.

And really loved her new dollhouse.

Ledger loved his warm warm pj's. I have no idea if the other 2 boys loved their gifts cause they ripped through them and took off with the cousins.

Kenzi and Connor are so cute and fun with the boys and Miss B. My kiddos love these two.

After Nanny and Papa's we came home, put on our pj's and went for a ride in the Ranger to look at Christmas lights. Case, Miss B. and Brody bundled up in the back of the Ranger.

In case you've never been to our neighborhood at Christmas time, it is AMAZING!

Our neighbors go all out!

After our Ranger ride, we came home and got our cookies and milk ready for Santa.

Brody and Case wrote notes to Santa and hung them on the fireplace. Case's note is in pink and reads, "Santa's cookies. Keep out of trouble and Santa careful on the cookies thank you."

Cookies For Santa

Making cookies for Santa is another tradition we enjoy each year. It is crazy and hectic but so much fun. We are pretty sure Santa will love the cookie masterpieces we made.

A Party With The Big Cousins

Wednesday night we were able to attend the Felstead Family Christmas party. We love this side of our family and wish we got together with them more. My kiddos especially love playing with all the "big" cousins. They learn all kinds of new things when they are around! Thanks to Missy and Troy for hosting!

Club Penguin with cousin Connor was a highlight of the night!

So was the Kinect.

Cousin Josh, Kris, Kristen and Abbie. Miss B. was loving having Abbie around. I wish they lived closer so we could get them together more.

Learning So Much The First Week Of School

12-5-08

On the way home from El Charro tonight Brody tells us:

B: "Mom, did you know that if you stick your middle finger in the air it's like saying a bad word?"

M: "What?" "Who told you that?"

B: "One of the boys in my new class said if you stick your middle finger in the air it's the same as saying a bad word." "What bad word does it mean mom?"

M: "It's a word that we don't ever say in our house and if I ever hear you say it, I'll stick 5 bars of soap in your mouth and make you suck on them all night."

B:"I think I know what word it is mom." It's (spelling it out) h-a-t-e.

M: (laughing with Jeremy in the front seat) It's way worse then that Brody!

B: "Oh I know mom, it's s-u-c -s or s-u-k-s (trying to spell sucks). Mom did you know people at my school say bad words all the time!"

M: "What??" (thinking to myself, what have I done by moving him to this new school?)

B: Yeah mom, they say hate, stupid, butt and sucks.

M: (still trying not to laugh) So do you tell them not to say that in front of you? You can tell them that you don't like them talking like that in front of you!

B: "No way Mom!! They'll punch me in the face!"

M: (Thinking to myself) Oh the joys of public school!! Can't wait to hear what he learns next week!
