Kiddos, Christmas and Holiday Parties!

Blake woke up one morning and wanted to go and get in Kenzie's crib with her. So here they are holding hands and hanging out in Kenzie's crib!

The Holiday's Begin...
Our first big Holiday party was Donnie's Chesapeake Party. It was held downtown at The Montgomery. There was yummy food, a live band and dancing. There was also a fun photo booth. It was nice to get away for the evening and very nice of Regan to babysit!

The next Holiday get together was Blake's Christmas Program at his school. It was so cute and they did a wonderful job singing "Happy Birthday to Jesus"! They also did a song using sticks. He cracked up when his friend Jensen dropped his and they both tried reaching them. It was a wonderful program celebrating Jesus Christ!
Here is little Kenzie enjoying Blake's Christmas program too! :)
Blake also had a Christmas party at school. There were lots of goodies and presents for everyone!
Regan, Kenzie and I went to the Annual Mother-Daughter Tea (even though my mom wasn't able to attend this year!) It was so much fun to sip yummy peppermint tea, enjoy scrumptious sandwiches and treats from the Tea Room and see old friends! Regan went home with a cute snowman ornament, as did Kenzie and I went home with a cute candy cane ornament. This is such a fun tradition and I am so glad that we have it to look forward to every year!
Old Friends....Jodi, Jen and I have known each other since we were six and so it is always fun to catch up! Especially since Jodi gave us the news that she is moving back the summer of 2010. We can't wait to have her back with us all the time!!!
Christmas Eve, Jen came over to exchange presents. Here is Blake in his Christmas jammies unwrapping his cool pirate toy from Jen. She also gave us a beautiful portrait of the kids that she had done. It was amazing! I will try and post it later!

We made rice krispy treats for Santa and the reindeer. Blake thought that they would like them better than cookies this year!
Here is little Kenzie and the plate for Santa! She is too cute!

KISSES FOR KENZIE!!!!

My Sweet Babies!

It is now officially Christmas Morning and Donnie and I were so excited that we went and woke up Blake! Santa had come and we couldn't wait to see his face!

And this is what his face looked like when he saw what Santa had left for him!

A John Deere Tractor! EXACTLY what he had asked him for!

So, then we had to go and wake up Kenzie because Blake couldn't wait for her to see her "jungle" gym, baby doll, and Vera Bradley Diaper Bag! :) I don't think she was as excited as Blake!!
But, she did want to try out the John Deere. Later she actually went for a ride in the back. (pictures to come!)

Here she is checking out what was left for her!

It was a wonderful Christmas and we have so much to be thankful for! We are all healthy, we have the gospel in our lives and we have each other!

We also celebrated little Blake's 3rd Birthday! I can't believe that he is three! (And that he went to Sunbeams today). He is the sweetest, happiest little boy I know and he brings so much sunshine into my life!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!!!
