NYE 2011

Check out the latest 5 posts that include all of Christmas and New Years, 2011 Wrapped Up!

Yes, it is December and the kids are wearing short sleves!  New Years Eve held the most beautiful weather.  We had to spend the day outside before heading over to the Brawley's house to have a fun NYE Celebration.  Kennedy enjoyed playing in the leaves and Linc enjoyed hitting his baseball.  I think this will have to be the next sport we try him in.  Anyways, I digress, back to the post at hand...NYE Was A Blast!









Hit that ball!














Like I said before, this plasma car is a big hit in our house, way to go Santa!  I love how he likes to give her rides.








After a fun day in the sun, it was time to head over to the Brawley's house for some dinner and fireworks, well the leagal kind, haha!
Little family photo op!  If you get in close, you can see that Craig has a mini mullet, haha!  He thought it was so funny and the hair dresser could not believe that he really wanted to cut his hair like that, she laughed the whole time.  I, on the other hand, just wanted it to be over, haha.  Whatever gets a good laugh, I guess.












Kennedy and Calvin have started to really play with each other and it is really fun to watch them interact.  They were playing ball together in this picture and sharing pretty well. (Hey, they are babies, they can go shirtless)
Avery and Linc are pros at playing together, but whenever they all get togehter they love to dump all of the kids toys everywhere and it takes them hours to pick them up, haha!
Levi just watching as the dumping ensues!
Now it is time for fireworks, YAY!
POP!
Of course we had to try them too!
Look at those cuties!
Sparklers look so awesome in the night sky!
You got it buddy!
Calvin was the lone baby, Kennedy had to pass out but she sure did miss some fun!
Isn't she just so cute!
We had such a fun night, but we didn't make it to midnight, close though.  Of course you always regret those late nights the next day with kids, but it was nice because I still got two more days before I had to go back to work, recovery time!  What a great 2011 we had, I can't wait to see what 2012 holds!

Christmas Has Come!

Merry Christmas, well, a few weeks ago!  We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  Lincoln has been so excited to open his presents.  When I put them out a few weeks before, he didn't understand that he could not open them yet.  We told him how he had to wait to baby Jesus' birthday and that made it ok! Santa was good to us all and that was wonderful.  The kids woke up super early in anticipation of the fun goodies that would be waiting for them.

Santa got some fun ride on toys!








Lincoln got a fun ball tunnel and tent








Lincoln got a plasma car and that has been awesome in our house.  Lincoln loves to take her on rides, it is so cute!
Santa also brought them both fun stuffed animals
Kennedy also got a push buggy that she loves!
Lincoln was all about superhero's this year so he got a lot of fun toys in that theme!









Kennedy had a good time just taking the paper off, she was not really interested in the toys behind the paper.












We also hosted Christmas Day lunch at our house.  This years food theme was mexican food and it was awesome.  I got pictures of all the decor but I forgot to take pictures when everyone was there, :(









I love this picture of Linc and K.













Yum!













Some yummy pinterest desserts! Lofthouse cookie and andes mint cookies, the best!









The main dish, yummy enchiladas, cheese, bean and chicken (also a pinterest recipe)

 It was a wonderful Christmas with lots of family from both my sides.  We sure were tired afterwards, but I really do love to have people over to our house.
