Kyler's Birthday Present

Kyler got a leopard gecko for his birthday from us this year. He is very excited about it! We let him open his present a little early because Christmas Eve is going to be pretty busy.

Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Meenderinck

Kenzie wasn't being very cooperative at midnight...go figure

Kenzie helping Grandpa open his present...

We had an early Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Meenderinck. The kids had fun with their cousins. Grandpa and Grandma gave Kenzie a doll and a blanket Grandma made for her doll. Kenzie carried it around all night...it was very cute!

Kyler and Rylan's 7th Birthday Party!

Kyler and his friend Rylan celebrated their class birthday party together at the Children's Museum. They had a lot of fun and he has a great group of boys in his class. It was a little chaotic at times with 10 boys but that's what a party is all about. Happy Birthday Boys!

Jake The Snake and Wii Bowling

We were just watching AFV and went back to some old videos we had on the computer. I think this is a for sure winner of my nephew Jake....I can't stop LAUGHING!!! I love you Jakers.

Oh Kenzie....

Kenzie perfecting her "cheese"

She is such a stinker...she emptied out most of her toybox and I found her playing in it. She gave me a much needed laugh for the day!

The Next Day

Kaeli's eye puffed up the next day.... It's looking a little better today....although she may not think so. She keeps trying to cover her eye with her hair and wanted to wear my sunglasses to school :)

Soccer Ball To The Face....OUCH

This is what happened at Kaeli's soccer game today. She was kicked in the face with a soccer ball. Way to take one for the team Kaeli!

Kenzie sleeping in her big girl bed

Kenzie is sleeping in her big girl bed....even though she is still my baby :) She has been sleeping quite well in her big brother's room and he is happy to share with her.

Decorating The Christmas Tree

The kids helped with decorating the tree....they did a nice job. Kenzie tried to help by bringing the ornaments to Kaeli and Kyler....I think she only dropped three :) This year it was Kyler's turn to put the angel up on the tree.

On The Hunt For Our Christmas Tree

Starting the search for our tree...

I think we found it....

Kenzie wanted to play in the puddles.....

Showing their muscles....

The boys carrying the tree....

Here Comes Trouble.....Again

Kenzie is into everything all of the time. She definitely keeps me on my toes. We'll see how it goes with all of the Christmas decorations. I sure love the little stinker.
