Christmas....

Look what Santa left!






This year we stayed with Richards' Mom and Dads for Christmas. Christmas eve we played games and had a good time. I don't know if me of the kids were more excited for Christmas morning. We woke up around 6:30 and opened presents then had breakfast and headed out to the ranch to see my family. Kaden played with his train non-stop for 2 days and Maddie loved everything. It was a wonderful holiday season that once again came and went way to fast.

Christmas Eve

This year we had Christmas Eve at Dave and Marylynn's shop. There was lots of family and lots of good food! The kids all got to open their Christmas pajamas. It was fun to see all the kids so excited about what Santa was going to bring them.

Need I say more?

Making our Gingerbread house

Making our gingerbread house this year was quite a challenge. Mainly just getting the candy on the house instead of in Kaden's mouth. It was a lot of fun once he got into decorating it though...the pictures say it all!

Decorating the tree

Decorating this year has been lots of fun because Kaden is old enough to get excited about the holidays on the other hand we have a little tree un-decorator named Maddie. She does it so innocently too... she reaches out and grabs an ornament and is turned around to get away before its all the way off the tree, then waddles away as fast as she can. Lets just say the bottom half of the tree is no longer decorated and it might just stay that way.

Kaden loves to put the star on the top!

Kaden liked to put all the bells in one spot.
