Christmas Picture Album

Here's just a lot of pictures to sum up what Christmas has been like for us. I figure pictures speak better than my writing :)

Macey leaving out Santa's cookies and his big glass of milk. (she wanted to be sure it was a BIG glass for him)

Macey excited to see what Santa brought her, yet a little nervous that he was still going to be around.

Macey going to town on the gift and Kelsey just wanting to make faces at the camera.

YES! I got my baby doll!

The two things I wanted, a baby doll and her "stuff"

At my dad's for Christmas Eve.



Trying out some new blocks from Bumpa before breakfast.




Loving Damma's Christmas breakfast!

Merek sleeping through it all.....

I love it dad!

Not so much....

I'm getting better at this.

Cinderella looking for snacks

Uncle Chad putting lipstick on Kelsey

Just couldn't get a good one of them both with their stockings....oh well.

Baking away!

I am finding that making a list for my blog is a lot quicker and easier considering I'm a terrible writer so here I go:

The past few days:

*Kids had a fun Christmas party at Elizabeth's house last Thursday (see pictures below)
*Jason's game was cancelled Thursday night and had a snow day Friday so he is now officially on Christmas Break!!!!
*He is very ambitious and has been tearing down wallpaper and priming to get things ready for painting here hopefully tomorrow. Oh I can't wait!
*My job the last few days has been trying to bake in a kitchen that is a disaster from wallpaper being torn down and keeping the girls out of Jason's way (not an easy task!)
*Ventured to a busy Walmart today with -27 degree wind chill. Loading the groceries into the car was not fun!
*Kelsey is running a temp of 101.5 today and we're hoping it's teething since she's drooling and she never drools usually. No other symptoms besides some whining...?? Someone in our family is ALWAYS sick the week of Christmas...it never fails.


Here are some quotes:

Today Macey wanted to watch a Christmas movie so I was looking on On Demand and saw Barbie Nutcracker and of course she wanted it. I said no because it cost money. Her response, "Well I have money" I said, "You do? Where?" She answers while running to her dad, "In my dad's wallet!"

Before bed we asked Macey if she wanted to watch the movie Cars since it was on tv. Her response, "No that movie is for BOYS!"


Kelsey is starting to get in on the quotes as well. I may be making some of this up, but I am starting to question it everyday as I hear her trying to talk more and more. So this is what I *think* she said :)

I was changing Kelsey's diaper and I asked her, "Did you go poopy?" She looks and me and presses her lips together and says, "POO!"

Annabelle with the innocent look of, "I didn't try it yet"

They're looking too old.

Kelsey joining in on the fun at the table for lunch with the big kids and thinking she's pretty darn cool!

Loving the candycanes.

Very intense.

She has to do it all herself. Good thing her attention span is only for the first batch or two.

Making pumpkin bread and yes that wallpaper is now down!

Quote of the day:

We were watching Jason through the window bolt the doors shut on our sheds out back so no animals could get in. Macey was talking about what he was doing and then said, "Maybe a fox would get in there, like Swiper the fox (Dora character) or a polar bear."

Picture of the day:

A little bit of static in her hair.
