Well our Christmas preperations started out with, Gingerbread houses. We went over to Jennie, Brinklee, and Mckenzie's house to have a little play day. We called our house the earthquake house because our roof caved in right at the start. I had to really put the frosting on to hold it together. Kendyl liked it for a minute, but she quickly decided she liked playing better.
Jadelyn loved it she is our little artist girl. She loves doing any thing crafty. I had bought a little kit and as you can see the candy in it wasn't very tasty.
and here are the finished houses.
Our next Christmas activity was at my sisters house. We made little Nativity Count down to Christmas things, and reindeer tree ordaments.
After working on the Nativity scenes the girls were so exhausted, so the only thing they wanted to do was have their dessert while I did made our reindeer. So we had cake and hot chocolate with peppermint ice cream. It is so good you all should try it. You put a half cup of hot chocolate and a scoop of peppermint ice cream. YUMMY!!!
Next is Crazy Christmas Eve. We started off at Grandma and Papa Greats house. It has been my favorite Christmas Eve tradition with our family since I can even remember. We go and have dinner then open all the presents from my grandparents.
Getting ready!!!
And Here we go!!!
After all the excitment Kendyl needed to rest a bit.
Kendyl's best bud!!!
Jade's best bud!!!
Next we all loaded up and went to Grandma Cathy's for there Christmas Eve celebration.
Grandma Cathy made the girls the cutest blankets. They are so snuggly. Jade just told me today as she was wrapped up in her blanket, "I wish you could sew like grandma Cathy, she can even do it without a machine just with her hands." I guess that is my cue to try and learn how to sew. Cathy also made them, and me the cutest crocheted beanies. Kendyl is wearing hers in the picture on my header. She is a very talented lady.
Here are all the cousins on Chance's side.
and FINALLY Christmas morning. The girls opening their stockings.
and after the tornado hit our home.
My mom had reserved the church so we had Christmas breakfast and dinner there. We had lots of food, games and basketball.
We really hope everybody had a great holiday season!
