Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas! The kids decided to go to bed at 8:45 so Santa could stop by. They were actually sound asleep by nine o'clock! We had to convince Alyssa to go to bed, though. She wanted to stay up and show Santa her cute jammies. The kids were super happy and grateful. Keaton kept saying 'Santa hit us hard'.
The boys got RC cars, DS games, a hunting game for the Wii, lego toys, giant nerf weapons, and of course, the ever-dreaded clothes and shoes.
They have fun getting similar toys and playing together. Grandpa and Grandma got them giant sleds. They were able to use them on Christmas afternoon.
Alyssa got a stylist chair for her doll and a doll with plastic hair (silly Santa). She also got a cash register, pots and pans for her kitchen, and some awesome wooden food items. She got several cute outfits and pajamas. She changed her clothes at least twenty times that day.
Kaydee got a stereo system for her room, some CDs, DS games, an acrylic painting set, boots, and lots of cute clothes!
We had some good times with family (except no one would play my games). Kyle was really wishing his family was closer, but grateful for his brothers. We have been really blessed this year and are very happy.

Alyssa's Birthday

On Christmas Eve, our baby turned four!! Ok, she is more like our teenager but I can't believe how big she is getting. She is so pleasant and sweet, with slight diva-like tendencies. It is fun to shop for her because she loves everything, especially clothes!
She loves her new boots
She loves to dress up
We love her!!
