Christmas Night






 Baine finally opened up his presents from us and Santa.  He got a learning computer game.  A gun.  A Toy Story couch.  Some food for his kitchen.  Playdough and a TON of books.  He also opened up his Christmas Eve present which was slippers and p.j.'s.  He only opened about 2 presents and then took off playing with his gun.  I finally told Izzy to get the job done and finish opening them.  She gladly did that.  Here are a few pics of the evening.






That night we read a few new books and he fell while we were reading and rocking!  He has never done that.  It's hard enough to keep him still while we read at night so it was nice for me.  :)  He was pooped.

Christmas Day

Christmas was a little crazy.  It was a lot of fun though.  We didn't wake up until after 8.  Izzy opened all of her presents and Baine was shy.  He didn't want anything to do with opening presents.  He just wanted to play with hers.  So then there was a meltdown with both kids.  So Baine did not open his presents Christmas morning.  We went to Sonya's church for their Christmas program.  I don't remember hardly any of it.  Izzy and Baine just wanted to run around.  I didn't get any pictures of the kids in their church attire, but believe you me, they looked A-dorable!!



Next we went to my Mom's for a little Christmas lunch and some more presents.  I don't know how my parents do it!  They spoil us!  ALL of us.  It's a lot of fun.  I don't really know what anyone else got this year.  I was too focused on me.  Haha!  Selfish?  Maybe.  Christmas is always fun there.  A lot of eating and lounging.  Next time I'll remember to wear my buffet pants.  :)





 Here is the big present!  Baine's new wheels!  He was helping his Dad put it together the whole time!  Like I said, we all got pretty spoiled!




Hopefully this isn't a look into our future.  If so this could be a good or bad thing!  These two little characters love playing with each other.  Hopefully that's all they will do and not raise too much hell!

Christmas Eve


We had Christmas Eve with Grandma Sonya.  The kids made sugar cookies and Stacey was there via Skype so we were only missing Matt.  It was fun for them and funny for us!  What cute kids.  

 Baine waving at Stace.
 Baine making a sugar cookie.  Notice Ronin with no pants.  Haha!  The kid was naked 75% of the time.  :)
 Opening up the gifts from Grandma.


 I can't remember why he is crying here but I had to get a picture.  So funny!
 Baine got a book and those stacking blocks.


One of the kids got a puzzle and Baine just kept wanting to be a part of it.

Always a fun time!  Grandma did good!

Christmas Eve Eve @ Grandpa's and Shayna's


We spent Christmas Eve Eve over at Steve's and Shayna's because that was the only day that Matt and Steph were able to make it.  It started out a little shaky but ended up to be a pretty fun night.  Steve and Shayna always spoil the kids and that's fun to see.  So here a some pictures.
They have started opening the presents so I was trying to hurry and get Stacey on Skype so she could watch.

 Baine got Chuck tracks.  He loves those dang dump trucks.  Shayna has some and that's his favorite thing to do at her house so she bought him some for his house.
 Shayna was so happy.  :)
 Cute Izzy and Alison.
 Steph and Ro.  I'm pretty sure Brady was taking all of these pictures.
 Izzy got the cutest little kitchen I have ever seen!  She LOVES it!


 Izzy "helping".
 Ronin got a few guns and Brady was having some fun trying to shoot all of us.



 Brady's Dad bought him that shirt.  I guess he thinks it's funny.  I don't really.  :)  I think it's the truth.  Without Brady that place would not run.
 Poor Baine was sick.  He looks hammered.
There's happy Shayna again!  Hahaha!

Modern Technology

Thank goodness for modern technology.  Without it we wouldn't have Skype.  Without Skype we wouldn't be able to do this.........




The boys were talking to Aunt Stacey over Skype the other day.  At one point they were playing hide and seek.  Haha!  So cute!  This is a great way to stay in contact with Stacey and it helps the boys remember her so when she comes for a visit it won't take a whole day warming up.
