Christmas

Christmas was so much fun this year. The kids were finally old enough to fully understand Santa and to get excited about their presents. We had lots of Christmas parties to go to. Here are some of my favorite pictures.
This is Christmas Eve at my mom's house. Skylar and Jordan are eating with my cousin's son Seth. Maci refused to give me a good smile for a picture of her in her hat
That's a little better
Now that's a smile! Is someone excited about Santa??
Here are the kids putting out cookies and milk for Santa. The milk was expired. I hope he didn't drink it :)
We started a new family tradition this year. Every Christmas we are going to have birthday cake for breakfast and sing happy birthday to Jesus. We want the kids to remember the true meaning of Christmas....and who wouldn't love birthday cake for breakfast?!
Maci was a little jealous that she didn't get to ride in the kids' new car. Maybe next year.
They were so excited to see this. It goes really fast and even gets FM radio reception!
They looked like rock stars with their new guitars.
Maci got a new blanket toy with her name on it. Santa must have ordered that online.
Skylar asked Santa (about a thousand times) for a blue stroller. The look on her face when she opened it was priceless.
This is our little niece. Isn't she beautiful? She's at that age where she thinks the bows and paper are much better than the gift inside.
Maci and her cousin. They are only 3 months apart.
I got the best gift of all....my three little angels. Jordan and Skylar love playing with their 2nd cousin Lindsay.
Maci and her grandma
Jordan is only about 3 months older than his cousin Ryan. In fact, Jordan, Skylar, Ryan, and Seth will all be in the same grade in school.
Maci partied her little heart out!
We did gifts at my mom's house the morning after Christmas. Here's all the kids. Notice my girls' matching hats. I love those hats!!
Jordan got a new Woody doll. Umm..I think the hat is for the doll buddy.
Jordan fell asleep right after presents. Too much partying for him.
Went from my mom's to my other grandma's house and Skylar was very happy about the sweet rolls and bacon.

My Dancer

Skylar has been loving her tap/ballet/gymnastics class. Unfortunately, the place is closing down and she had her last class this week. We got her signed up for a new place that she will start in January. I hope she likes it just as much.
