Snow Much Fun..

My mom had a huge pile of snow outside her house so the kids and I just had fun on it.  They tore it up.  I am sure it was nothing compared to the huge hill Grandpa took them to the day before but they didn't seem to mind.  Brecks just loved to push JJ down!  I think he realized it was the first time he didn't get in trouble if he was pushing her!

 Ok so I was playing with the settings on my camera..

 Who needs a sled when your pants are slippery.

Random Happening at Grandmas

This is the face of Grandma's house...That's Cheetos's, mnm's and who knows what else!  They get spoiled!

 Here he is playing  pretend with his buzz.

 One of his favorite things at Grandma's it's a light and he just loves it.  He wore it like the whole time we were there. He just looks at it funny and says "light"

 Here she is moving around.

 JJ got her special Grandma Time....She loves to give JJ one on one time to make her feel special.

 silly Sara got this hat and I think she slept in it the night she got it.

All Fancied Up

Here is what the family(minus mommy) looked like for Christmas Sunday.  You may regconize the dresses they were the same ones the girls wore to my sisters wedding.  I love that they got to wear them so much because they were mini princess dress!  Jaylee loves hers so much she wants to play dress up in it!

 My sweet girls.  There is a special bond between JJ and Bryn.  They both have such a strong love for each other.  JJ always loves to hold and snuggle B baby.

 Really do you think I could get a picture without him picking his nose. 

 He is such a handsome devil...
                                                 
All the kids have been so snugly lately and Mark and I LOVE IT! As we were talking recently we realized that 1/4th of the time JJ will be living with us is already GONE! It made us re-evaluate how we look at things. Like now when the kids want to crawl in bed and snuggle us instead of sending them for the hills we welcome them and give them the cuddles they deserve. We have really been trying to make the most of every moment with them, because it will be gone so soon and we take it for granted.

Christmas OVERLOAD

Let me give a little background.  This was my first Christmas back at my mom's in TEN YEARS.  Needless to say I was so excited.  It was Mark's first Christmas ever with my Mom's Family. It's was so exciting to me because all of my family means so much to me and to be around them at Christmas time is and extra special feeling.

 Santa brought B Baby a walker..and She LOVED it.  Bryn was the first one awake so we played downstairs until I couldn't take it anymore and woke up the other kids.  They were so worn out from Christmas Eve.

 Oh it helps her walk!

 Here they FINALLY come...  It was fun because each kid had a person to hold them

 MJ got a little scooter...He always wants to ride JJ's and he is just to little.

 JJ got a new BIG Girl Bike..she made sure Santa knew that it needed to have a kickstand and no training wheels.  That's just what she got.  Santa had to get a special kickstand and attach it because small bike usually don't come with them...found that out the hard way.

 He also got a big wheel from Grandma and Grandpa Santa....he rode this thing like crazy in the basement.

 JJ LOVES her new BIKE..to bad it's snowy and we can't go ride it.

 This was cute..as he saw that it was a Buzz he says "Oh Buzz lightyear my favvvrite."  I wish i could write how cute he sounded when he said it.  Thanks Dad and Mel

Grandma and Pi got JJ a sing it, she is such a little Diva this will be perfect.

 Ok this is so MJ..squatting with his finger in his nose..and he made us cut out the feet of the jamies that was the only way he would wear them.

 Her new gym pass..

 Grandpa and Sara made yummy Christmas Pancakes..no different from any ordinary pancake but that's what we eat every Christmas Morning.

 Grandma Connie got Bryn a fun talking elmo..when you shake him he talks.

 She also love MJ's Lightning McQueen Racer

 Aunt Nicole get's big hugs before she go's

 He loves trucks, cars, tools, dirt and dressing up..That last one throws me off sometimes.

 Sad to see Aunt Nicole leave..  The kids love to look and watch people from this window.

 Grandpa is becoming a banana head... 

This was a really fun Christmas for me.  I really have missed having these types of experiences with them.  It just seemed so natural to be home.  I am so thankful for all the family we have everywhere..It is so difficult at times because we can never be with all of our family on these types of Holidays. I just want them all to know that even though we are having fun somewhere else we are still missing them.

Christmas Eve

The kids got new PJ's before we left for the big night...

 JJ and her Great Aunt Carol.. 

 MJ found a new more effective way to open his presents!

 Before we started to open presents the cousins all wrestled!  Seriously my kids love to wrestle.

                                       
We claimed a spot on the couch..luckily because once we start to open presents you can't move.
                                    
 Grandma and her little sweetie.

 My Grandma has a dancing Santa and it kept MJ really entertained.  He seriously went nuts over it!

 The presents.....

 Jaylee found her spot on Grandmas lap!  I didn't really see JJuntil it was time to leave at MIDNIGHT!  Then she screamed that she wanted to stay!  We were the first family to leave and the party continued with yummy food and crazy fun.

 Sara excited about her presents!
