Christmas Fun

Christmas has come and gone and I'm a blogger slacker so here is one huge post to sum it all up. We stayed in Omaha for Christmas since Micah had to work so for the past week and half we have had family coming and going which has been really nice.



Christmas morning stockings - best pic I could get out of them!



We could not keep Ethan off the presents - he was way more interested in climbing on them then opening them.


Kayla got a doll house...



Ethan a work bench......




Sledding with Papa in our backyard. Kayla LOVED it, Ethan wasn't so sure.



Happy Birthday Jesus! Kayla loved making the cake for Jesus and singing to Him.




I got sick Christmas night so the next day my parents took Kayla outside to play in the snow and make snowmen. Kayla thought her snowman needed hair like hers so hence the leaves.



Christmas lights at the zoo. It was quite chilly but the kids had fun.





We couldn't get a good picture that captured the lights but it is really neat.




Kayla's annual gingerbread house.




We surprised Kayla and took her to see Sesame Street Live - Micah's parents and Uncle Brett and Aunt Traci were here so when we needed to go she started crying because she didn't want to leave them - we were going to wait until we got there to tell her what we were doing but we ended up telling her so we could actually leave. She of course LOVED it. We even treated her to popcorn and cotton candy which she thought was the greatest thing. Elmo and Zoe were her favorite and she really liked when they danced and sang.




We left Ethan at home so with Grandpa and Grandma so it could be a special treat for her without little brother distracting!

Shanna- Thanks for leaving a comment on our blog and for the blog site. It is funny because I have been following that blog since the beginning. However, I haven't checked lately so it was a good reminder. Thank you also for your Christmas Card. So so cute.
