Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Well, we survived Christmas!  The kids were VERY excited to get ready for Santa!

 

Click here for a video of the kids!

We made cookies for Santa!  Lilly did great!  Ben, well he ate more frosting and decorations than he actually put on the cookies. LOL

They then got to open one gift each!  This year it was a light up stuffy!  Cloud B makes them and the kids LOVE them! Figured it was a great gift since they both are afraid of the dark!

Then it was time to leave cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer!

Once everyone was in bed, Santa came by and dropped everything off!

Boy did the kids make out!  So did daddy and I!  Even the pups!

Of course Emma was passed out!

To look at more photos just go to my facebook album and you can see more photos!

After all the present opening, we were exhausted and ready to check it all out!

We went up north for the day to visit with my Aunt K'Lynn, her daughter Destiny, Destiny's daughter Novallie, my mom, my sister, my niece Kadence and my grandparents.  We had a blast!

Emma even talked up a storm, click HERE to see it.

Here is miss Novallie, such a cutie!

Ben loved her so much he just about smothered her! lol

And Emma got to meet some new family members!

We had so much fun!

I hope all of our family and friends had a wonderful Christmas!  Hope your New Year is fun as well!  Here's to a great 2011 to everyone!

One more week until Christmas!

Yes one more week. I cannot wait, because then Lilly will quit asking me when is Santa coming. Our elf Christmas has had good and bad things to tell Santa about with the kids.  He is also enjoying all the different spots to sit in every day!

We got our Christmas tree and we had fun decorating it.  It has gate protection this year.  Why?  Well Ben likes to bash together the ornaments (hahaha we lost two this year already due to this) and Maisys tail has a mind of it's own so it knocks the ornaments off.  So for the tree's own personal safety we have a gate around it this year!

So we are all ready for Santa to arrive!  And he cannot get here quick enough (according to Lilly!).  

Sunny and Cheeky are now able to come play outside of their cages together.  Although they get along they do sometimes have their little tiffs!

My dad and Angie came down with my sister Liz to give the kids their Christmas gifts.  OMG one each got a box of candy.  Thanks dad, that evening my kids didn't stop running, not even for water! lol  But they had a blast seeing their grandparents and their auntie and opening the gifts!

Ahhh and who could forget the night I hear Ben and Lilly giggle when they are suppose to be asleep and I walk into their room and see this:

Yes that is my son butt ass naked!  This kid is obsessed with streaking now.  We call him our little chippendale model. lol

Here are some more photos of the kids:

We are doing well.  One night I decided to go and do my hair and make up and take some photos of me to remind me that yes it is ok for me to feel beautiful.  I am beautiful even if having three kids! lol  So here are some of my favs. :)

And even curling my hair (Which took me almost an hour) the curls lasted maybe a few hours.  My hair just likes to be straight and nothing else! :P

I can't wait to post about our Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
