Christmas Eve

We had my parents, sister and her kids over on Christmas Eve morning for breakfast and ROUND 3 of Christmas. Again, our kids are so blessed.

This is a normal setting for my kids once my dad gets here or anywhere for that matter...they love Papa Webb


My kids and Kaeli and McKenzie (I can't believe how old they are getting)

My parents got my kids a trampoline, and they LOVED it. They can't wait until it gets setup so they can jump on it.

We spent Christmas Eve night at my cousin's house with my dad's side of the family. It was a lot of fun, and my kids always love seeing all their cousins. There were probably around 50 people there, and that it not everyone.

Many Christmas Blessings...Day 1

There are WAY too many pictures and kids to share all the pictures from Christmas on the blog, but wanted to share something. We were all way too blessed this season. The kids did such a great job of being grateful for what they got, and everyone seemed to know exactly what they needed or wanted (Chris and I had a hard time with K & B, but no one else seemed to).

Here is ROUND 1: with Papa Flynt at Amber's. The kids did so good waiting to open each gift until everyone had one to open. There are 9 kids, and next year there will be 10...what a blessing.


Molly was so good at opening gifts, I forget how much 1 year olds enjoy Christmas and presents

ROUND 2: Nana Flynt's house. Again, we posed the kids together, and then they again waiting patiently until each person got a gift once again. The grandkids draw names for each other here, so it is a little different. And of course Nana Flynt knew exactly what each Grandkid wanted...

Day 1 went off without a hitch, and the kids had such a great time with their cousins!

Show stealer...

This little one stole the show during the cake portion of the girl's party. She didn't even eat cake like this at her party. So cute.

We had Molly's 15 mth checkup on Friday as well. Here are her stats:
21lbs 11.8ozs (25%)
31" (75%)

She is a very healthy little girl, and makes us smile everyday!!!

The BIG 3!!!!

Kennedy and Bailey turned 3 on the 22nd. I can't believe that they are already 3, and in the past week or so they have really grown up in looks anyways. They are rotten, sweet, and funny all in one, and definitely each have their own personality.

We had their 3 year checkups on Friday after their party Thursday night, and here are their stats:
Kennedy: 28lbs (50%), 37" (75%)
Bailey: 31lbs (75%), 36 1/4" (50%)

Aren't they adorable...

Bailey is definitely our shy one...

But sure does love some cake...

Thanks to all of our friends and family that came out to celebrate them, especially in such a busy time of year. We are very blessed with all of you.

Pre-K Program

Carter's PreK class did a little Christmas singing before Christmas break. He did such a good job, and was so excited that Chris and I got to come and watch him.

The Lights...

We took a trip to Silver Dollar City to look at the lights a few weeks ago. Our friends the Hands and my dad went with us to play and of course see the lighting of the tree.

All the big kids in front of the tree before lighting...


This little girl was so excited that Papa came along for the ride. I am not sure the last time that my dad went to SDC but we were thinking when I was in Jr. High. I think he had a good time, and Molly didn't want to do anything else but hang out with Papa.


Tried to capture everyone...

Carter was so sweet to ride with Bailey, don't they look like twins?

She was so brave all day to ride the rides

RUN, RUN, RUN

Chris ran another 1/2 marathon the first of December, and our friend Ryan ran it with him. They ran a full marathon a couple of years ago, and seem to be good running partners for each other. I think Chris was pleased with his finished time, right at 2 hrs, since it has been a while since he has ran one. Good job boys!!!! Crissy and I are so proud!!

At finish line...


At entrance of outdoor track at the UofA...

We all came out to support him...

The kids had their own races against each other as we were waiting on the boys to get to the track
