We enjoyed a mellow Christmas at home...removing "mellow" would make that a more accurate statement actually. With three kids this Christmas, there was a bit of mayhem. We loved all the noise, laughing and excitement though!
Cookies left out for Santa? Nah...snickerdoodles Braden made for Matt. Braden put a note that read, 'Better than Cinnamon Production.' Braden would know because that's where his daddy takes him for cookies after school...Dads are more fun!
These new shades came in handy on this warm and sunny Christmas day.
A stocking the size of a 7-year-old...seems reasonable.
Just for the record, Matt insisted on these stockings. Growing up, I was content with the oranges, nuts and chocolates in my bright red, fuzzy stocking.
The little ones deserved some gifts too, despite giving me some sleepless nights and making me feel like a zombie for the past year.
Cameron and Mistletoe playing hide n seek? One last Elf on the Shelf shenanigan before she retires for a year. We assembled Braden's ramp that came in a huge box and wrapped the box with just the elf inside.
Bound and determined to pull off an ornament...
He was successful and didn't even pull down the wobbly tree with it.
She can't help but see for herself what the ornament glitter tastes like.
She does love anything that sparkles!
No holiday attire for this one. Braden sported his favorite t-shirt instead, which at least is reddish.
For Christmas, Gramma didn't ask for much. Just a photo with her grandkids. Strike one...
Strike two...
When the hair bow gets ripped off, we know it is a definite strike three!
Someone was sure happy to see her Papa!
Someone else was just as thrilled!
Now that Kennedy is taking her first steps, she really enjoyed this new toy.
As usual, Braden took the time to show the babies how their toys work. He is just so sweet to them.
Well I guess this looks fun?! I could just eat her up too!
Kennedy has lots to say. Mostly squeals and giggles, but throws a word in here and there.
As much as I love the homemade plate and the fact that Braden, Gramma and Papa look so nice...I can't get over the way Bentley wedges her way into photos. She's barely visible and her face is smushed, but she is happy to be included nonetheless.
Bentley deserved more gifts than she was given. I mean, she doesn't even flinch when baby fingers are shoved in her eyes. Best dog ever.
"Papa, not a big pony, just one of those adorable miniatures will do."
If only Cameron could speak...
As a back up plan, Kennedy was probably smooth-talking her daddy into the whole pony idea.
We had some pretty awesome stocking stuffers this year.
Kennedy insisted on sitting with us for a second dinner. Smart girl...we were having prime rib!
