Christmas Day

These pictures need no words :)

Spoiled Rotten kids-






I have to tell this story becuase I find it hilarious....
TJ and I usually don't exchange gifts, Christmas is about the kids to us. He usually gets me some Pizza Factory jackets and I get him a collectors coin set, sometimes if we have extra money we will buy something but not every year.
This year since I had some extra money from some side jobs I have been doing I bought him a new Dewalt drill and impact driver set, they're pretty expensive but he needed a new drill and has always wanted a impact driver. He knew about it because I wanted to make sure it was a good deal and that's really what he wanted.
He asked me what I wanted and I said a new veggie chopper since mine broke, you know the cheap ones that are like $15 bucks at walmart.
Christmas morning I open this huge box and I am think what the heck? He bought me a chopper alright, an industrial HUGE chopper, he got from his work catalogue. I was so mad he spent over $100 bucks on this huge thing I would never use, I told him to take it back!!!

That's my hubby for ya, always trying to get the best for me!! lol :P

Then later than day after his drill charged he was showing me how the impact driver works and said "You will use this as much as I will."
Ummm, I don't think so, but you can tell yourself that to make you feel better about your epic fail of a present for me lol


We then headed to my parents house for Breakfast and more presents! We got them a book with all the pictures of our family trip and pictures of the kids








TJ had someone make all of us these U beanies :) So fun!


Then to the Bentley side, just before this I started to get a migraine, it was awful, I hated that I was missing out on feeling good and enjoying the rest of the day with my family. I didn't get a picture we gave each family a fort kit :) We gave his Mom her coin collector kit and his Dad a pf jacket and pics of the kids.




Final stop Grandma and Grandpa Cannon and then it was home to rest!!

Christmas Eve

TJ worked all day so the kids and I cleaned and watched Christmas movies, earlier we had made cookies for Santa and yes Callaway has a black eye, he was sweeping with a vacuum and it hit the corner of his eye and then spread across his eyelid into a bruise, so sad :( He is such a tornado always into something and getting banged up!


We went to my Parents house and had a yummy dinner and then hung out. Callaway loved the Disney Characters singing decoration that I remember loving as a kid too :)







Grandma and Grandpa always have the funniest and loudest toys to play with, good thing they stay there :)


Then to Grandma and Grandpa Bentley's for their Christmas Pjs! Hunter's was too big, he is in between sizes so they are either too small or too big lol



We did our Christmas service project and then got some Hot Coco and drove around and looked at lights and kept our eyes peeled for Rudolph!

We got home really late, everyone headed to bed and was out! So Santa and his elves got to work....

Cousin Christmas Fun

We had all the cousins over for some Christmas fun!

Cute Taeler brought pin the star on the tree and a scavanger hunt, so thankful my big helpers are back in STG :)


We ate pizza, made some Christmasy crafts, baked cupcakes, and painted nails! all in a 3 hour period :P





We had a special visitor, making sure we were being nice :) Sophie was so excited the real Santa was finally here! All the kids were so excited "Sophie's Santa" came :)


Halle and Kade were the only ones able to sleepover and we had to keep with our tradition of a bubble bath, movie with popcorn and piling in the living room all together to sleep :)

I am so thankful my kids have such a fun relationship with their cousins, and I hope they all remember all these fun times, we sure love them all so much!
