A WHITE Christmas!


What an amazing Christmas we had! It started out with a record snowfall and blizzard for Oklahoma! The kids had fun playing in the snow Christmas Eve!
I can't believe how long Kenzie's eyelashes are! The snowflakes kept getting caught in them and she couldn't open her eyes! She is so cute in the snow!
We decided that since the weather was getting bad we would go and spend the night at my parent's house. Don't worry we did notify Santa of our change in plans! While Dad and Donnie (and their 4 wheel drive vehicles) went and rescued many people on Oklahoma roads who were stranded and took them safely to their homes for Christmas....we partied! We made cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning, cookies for Santa and even made stroganoff sandwiches
(a Christmas Eve tradition)
Blake loves making cookies with Aunt Reg!
We also took pictures with our Christmas pajamas on!
This one is my favorite!
We didn't have enough cookies for all Santa's reindeer because too little hands snatched them up when we weren't looking! Oh, well!

CHRISTMAS MORNING!
Oh, did Santa spoil us and my mom officially stood up before we started opening presents and said, "My name is Marilynn and I am addicted to Christmas shopping" (like we didn't know this already!) I love the look of the kids faces Christmas morning. It is the best!

Kenzie loved having Cawpaw help her with her stocking!

This picture is really about the kitchen in the background. This is what Santa brought little Miss Thing! She also got a princess cell phone, which she hasn't put down since that morning, we are SO in trouble when she is a teenager! :)

Blake loved his red wagon that Santa brought and the basketball hoop from his Noni and Cawpaw but he especially loved his Buzz Lightyear toy from his sister!
They played in the wagon all afternoon!

I know her eyes are closed....but I had to document this funny picture of Kenzie in her Christmas jammies, OSU Cheerleader Outfit, brown hat with pink bow and her brother's new John Deere boots! (she got some of her own that are pink, but she really like her brothers! What an outfit!
And this is what happens when you are a little girl and Christmas morning is just too long! BTW, Blake captured this pic for me! :)

Today, after a good night's sleep, we headed out to play in the snow! We called are friend Abbey to join us! She and Blake are the best of friends!
Best Buds!

I was VERY surprised with Kenzie. We were out for about 2 hours and she went sledding for part of it, but she loved sitting at the top of the hill eating the snow!

Blake after a great run down the hill! He hated carrying the sled back up!

Abbey giving the "3 kids" a push! Donnie loved playing in the snow with the kids!

I just love this picture of Donnie and Kenz!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
