Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve started with dinner. Kenzy saw to it that it started right away!! Cutest EVER!

She was our little taste tester.

Then we got a little fancy so that we would be properly dressed when Santa came.

When he got here we were so excited!!







Cooper couldn't believe it!

I love Cooper's face in this pic!

Kino's turn!

Santa LOVE!

Just so Kino knows how much I love him I added this picture of me wiping his boogies with my bare hands. True love.

This was the best we could do with all the moving parts we had to deal with and I think it is sooooo cute!!

My favorite Santa in the whole wide world! I love you Santa!

I think my Mom loves Santa most of all!

Perfect Point School of Dance

Reagan has become quite the little dancer lately. As a matter of fact at home she does not like to be called Princess. It is Ballerina. Cade: I love you Princess. Reagan: Dad I am NOT a princess. I am a Ballerina. This is what she told us the other day. Then she went on to explain. Reagan, "At Disneyland I am a princess. At dance class and at home I am a Ballerina." So there you have it. Before Christmas the studio had their Christmas party. It was lots of fun and all my siblings were there. So fun!!

This is why I love Kathryn. She is so pretty and funny!

The girlies loved it!

Making Christmas presents

One year we made my parents a platter from the kids that was made at one of those Mold Me pottery places. The only problem is that it didn't have Reagan's hand prints on it because she wasn't born yet. This year we fixed the problem.

They really love to do this. I let them pick all of the colors, use their creative juices.

The finished product!! They still had to put it in the kiln, but I thought it was really cute.

Back Surgery

On December 13th Cade had back surgery. Scary! It was super scary, but after a lot of prayer and fasting we knew it was the right choice. Recovery has so far been a long road for him, but he is 5 weeks out and each day gets better. He is doing so well. But then again I don't think there is anything on the planet that he doesn't do well. I was stressed about a million things and he took care of them all before he went into surgery so I didn't have to worry. He made sure the kids and I would be taken care of when he wasn't able to do so. They don't come more amazing than he is. I love you so much!
