The Night Before Our Christmas

we asked santa to come on friday the 20th

so friday night we decorated the rest of the cookies

 Dashtyn dumped all the sprinkles

and got frosting in Chasens hair

 we ate dinner and let the boys drink out of special cups

 then got hot chocolate and blankets from the dryer and looked at christmas lights

 chasen put out the cookies and left the tractor flash light on them so he knew where they were

 Ean and I fell a sleep waiting for dash to fall asleep and I woke in a panic at 11 and we put all the goodies out!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Cookies With Friends

Last week and this week (some rescheduled due to weather) we had friends over to make cookies!

The Kukuzke girls and Smith kids came last week!

 

chasen put monster eyes on everything

 and alana was all about the sprinkles! 

 dash was all about eating sprinkles

 baby Andrew liked the view and of course afterwads Dash and Chasen had to take turns holding him. Dash loves babies

 On tuesday the Ditch family came over

 

baby Joshua was also there and got snuggles from dash!

 

 on wednesday the campbell boys came over to make cookies but decided to play instead

 Ryan and Chasen making snow angles

 I see horns. no halo's ;)

 then when their mom said time to go they decided they wanted to make cookies!!

Im kinda glad it was broken up because originally everyone was gonna come on the same day....that might have been to much crazy, 13 kids!?!?!

Grammie's Christmas

we hung out all day monday at grammies, 

chasen skipped school and grammie had the day off!

Everyone came over around 5 and we opened gifts right away...the kids were ready!!

Aunt Trista and Uncle Chris got Chasen a BB Gun

but first we had him open the BBs and he had no idea what they were for :)

when he opened the gun

he was so excited

he looked at me like ohhhh mom!! 

power tools for dash!

Grammie got everyone some awesome personalized gifts!

and Elmo was a big hit!

we were home in time for bed!

and then chasen had 3 days of school

today was canceled due to ice so no school until the 6th!!
