Happy Holidays

Oh Tyson

Just a few reasons why my son must be confined at times.....if he sneaks off to another room, this is what happens...



food all over the floor-


Hair pieces everywhere-


Just found this phone in the garbage tonight(He's already given one to the garbage men without us knowing)


He sneaks into his sisters room to climb the ladder to the bunkbed-


But after the end of a long day with him all I have to see is this happy little face and once again he can do no wrong in my eyes!

Christmas Party

Friday night I took the girls to see Santa and a reindeer in town. It was outside so I didn't bring Tyson. So we are standing in line to see Santa and Alina see's a friend ahead of her in line so she proceeds to yell "hey Lana- do you believe in Santa?" I told Alina she can't say that in front of little kids and the funny thing is she still believes in Santa(thank goodness)- she just wanted to know if her friend did.

Sat. night we went to Skip's work Christmas party and took the two older girls- They had a blast-




And that is all I can write b/c I have a tired 2yr old and a wound up 3yr old who won't leave him alone!!!

True Meaning Of Christmas

These are the things that make my heart melt-
I took the kids and one of Alina's friends to Sweet Lights tonight. For those of you not familiar they are huge lights you drive your car through and it's a couple of miles long(1 or 2 maybe)
Anyhow we had Christmas songs on while we were driving and this is what Alina said

Alina- looking at the lights and listening to the christmas music makes me realize that christmas is not about gifts- it's about being with your friends and family

I thought that was so sweet - wondered if she's still feel that way if there were no presents under the tree christmas morning-haha!!

Winter Time

Kenzie on her way to her Christmas concert yesterday- her skirt looks like it's on wrong and her sweater looks bulky...she looked cuter in person!



Tyson absolutely hating to be bundled up




Gotta love the cold!!!!
