Christmas 2010 in Review

Hold on to your hats, folks, this is a picture filled post!

Santa made an early delivery at our house the weekend before Christmas. Apparently he was not going to have room in his sleigh for Kenna's new play kitchen so he decided to drop it off a little early. Kenna didn't mind! It didn't take her long to start cooking away!

When we got to Muleshoe, we tried to take a picture of all of the cousins in front of the tree. I love how the girls are both trying to muscle their brothers into place.

Not too bad!

It did not take Kenna long to learn that she really liked opening presents!

Dane showing off one of his new outfits.

We were trying to keep Anson out of trouble! He kept trying to put all of the wrapping paper, tissue, etc into his mouth.
Kenna got a pink cowboy hat from Poppy - she keeps walking around, tipping her hat at everyone, "Howdy Partner!"

My precious little boy just scooted his way right over to all of the lights and presents. He is officially on the move! (And who could resist that grin!)

Christmas Eve means making cookies for Santa and my Mom had two little girls who were more than happy to help!

Rolling out the cookie dough.
Using the cookie cutters requires lots and lots of concentration!

Time to decorate...first the icing Now some sprinkles....And more sprinkles.... (She pretty much emptied the whole bottle)
I know this is a blurry picture and it is not even Kenna's most decorated cookie...just wanted to give you an idea of how many sprinkles she was putting on each cookie.
Mommy and Kenna decorating cookies for Santa.
There were sprinkles EVERYWHERE! Kenna's feet were stained (yes, stained) like this for 3 days. Milk and Cookies are all ready.
Santa Came!!!

Two little girls ready to see if Santa brought them any presents.

Kenna and Dane's must have been really good this year!!

Kenna got busy cooking right away.
Santa also remembered Kenna's sunglasses obsession and brought her some cool new shades.


Dane was very excited to have some actual new boy toys instead of his sister's leftovers!!

We had some sleepy kids on the way home! Of course, Kenna only slept about 45 min, but that is 45 min longer than she slept on the way there so she must have been worn out!!



Daniel was a master packer but I'm not sure we could have fit much more stuff in the back of the Commander.

Whew....I'm tired just thinking about it all again...and this doesn't even include the two Christmases at each of my grandparents (I didn't take any pictures)! What a GREAT Christmas we had!

I love Kenna's kitchen! It is so cute! Play kitchens have come a long ways since our Little Tyke kitchens! Guess we can say that about all of our kids toys! :)

What a great Christmas! I think Dan and Jon must have the same packing genes because our car was packed to the rafters on our trip!
