Christmas Decorations!

Love that Kinley was so into the decoration this year. She couldn't hardly wait to get out of bed Monday morning cause she knew Daddy had gotten the Christmas decorations down on Sunday night.

She liked to talk about each ornament and ask questions about who they belonged too! Has this Momma mentioned how much she loves having a little girl?!


Kinley examining Momma and Daddy's wedding cake ornament from 2004!


The kids put the ornaments on the tree in little "clusters" at their height - love that it made our tree only 1/4 decorated!


So careful in her little princess xmas pjs from Grandma-ma and Grandpa-pa as she put things on the tree!

Cousin Week!

Aunt Kayla, Uncle Brett, Gma O, and Gpa O went on a cruise last week. Rachel had plans to come stay with K and J and last minute we invited Jaxon's "buddy cousin" Brennan along! We had 4 days of fun!

Here are a few things we did:

1. Bouncin Bears - We went with a few of our friends on Friday morning and then back with Daddy on Friday night!

2. Pizza Hut Buffet - This seemed like a risky move... 3 moms and 8 kids... it was WONDERFUL! People kept telling us how good our kids were, us Moms just had to laugh cause we were as surprised as the onlookers! When all else fails from now on this Momma will know to go eat pizza!

3.Picnic at the park - We went to a new park on Saturday and had lunch, great fun!

4. Homemade Cinnamon Rolls - The kids helped me make cinnamon rolls on Saturday afternoon. The recipe makes 8+ pans so then we loaded them up in the wagon and let the kids share with all our neighbors. Great fun and good way to teach sharing and serving!

5. Fun at our house - I'm so sad I didn't snap a picture of the toy room floor, well, I'm not sure it really would have been a picture of the floor... probably just a pic of about 10 layers of toys. The kids had a ball doing crafts, blocks, puzzles, games, doll house, ponies, legos, animals, etc... and when that fun was done they headed out to play on the play set. I think if I would have stayed out there they would have been on the swings from sun up til sun down!

6. Church - We went to church on Sun morning and Bible Builders on Sunday night. We were a little nervous about 4 kids in one pew, but they did awesome and we were really proud of them!

7. Neighborhood Park - One night we made it to our neighborhood park/playground. It is small, but my kids love it and the cousins did too, just a change up from playing outside at our house!
















K and J had a blast with Brennan and Rachel and are so lucky to have so many cousins just their age to play with! So excited for the Holiday cousin time!

Halloween Fun!

This was the best Coleman Halloween yet!!! Both kids are at such a fun age and tehy had blast dressing up as Tinkerbell and Peter Pan. Here are some pics from Halloween Week. I'm thinking it seemed more like Christmas with all the fun activities!
