Christmas Cuties

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Couldn't resist the matching jammies!

Christmas Day

Kylee was sick with strep throat, so my handsome boys

had to represent at church.

The girls...well...we took a nap!

We headed to my mom's house and took Kamber's car.

Bree headed straight for it and settled right in.

Kamber didn't seem to mind sharing...at that moment anyways!

Only Alex can rock this fancy little number!

Table runner transformed!

It was a good Christmas, even though I sucked at getting pictures of my Grampi and any at Rocky's parents house. Oops.

It was a good Christmas, even though it was a

small gathering this year.

My brothers and their kids weren't there, and

Bubs is off in the Ukraine.

Next year it's gonna be a full house and I can't wait!

Christmas Morning

These kids must have been really good this year

because Santa hooked them up Phat!

 Todd got a DS and a 1500 piece lego set!

Kylee got a "girl" bike and a helmet.

(She's been riding what we call the "Red Speed Racer" bike that was Todd's since Uncle Troy backed over her bike with his car when we were camping. Oops!)

Kamber got a Cozy Car Coupe.

She LOVES it!

If you even look like you're gonna get in it she runs over and gets in.

Most of the time through the window!

 "Thanks Santa!"

More binkies!

New shirts!

 A cute girl!

"Cheese!!!"

(Could she be any cuter?!?!?)

Matching Pillow Pets and comfy blankets.

We are our traditional hash browns for Breakfast.

Rocky was hoping to break this tradition for waffles, but the waffle maker he bought me didn't work.

Boo!

But the kids didn't mind.

It was a really good Christmas!

All smiles.

All day.

Christmas Eve 2011

We started our day by making cookies for Santa.

Sugar cookies with all kinds of sprinkles!

They were delish and the kids knew Santa would love them!

 We started our night at my parents house...

 opened gifts from Grami and our cousin exchange...

 and ate chips, salsa, and chicken enchiladas.

Or in Kamber's case, just salsa!

 Some kids just looked cute playing in a box.

 Then we headed out to met up with all the Turner cousins.

 The kids draw names each year...

 and the adults play a mean White Elephant game.

Sometimes the gifts are nice, but sometimes they are a little naughty~ ~ ~or super silly!

Kylee ended up not feeling good and had a high fever (102.5).

Being Christmas Eve and all it was concluded she had strep throat like Todd came down with 2 days before and I started treating her with his meds.

I had them, and used them cuz I was not about to hit up the

ER on Christmas!

The next morning she woke up and said,

"Mommy, I'm feeling so much better!"

The meds worked --- I don't feel bad double dipping!

She has her own meds now after a little run-a-round from the doc.

Good times!

Santa came---ate---dipped---drank.

Next up...Christmas morning!

Christmas 2010

So this isn't the most flattering pic of the kids,

but it's the only one Kamber is looking at the camera. 

I'll take it!

I have so many fun pics to post of Christmas,

 but this year I've been sick as a dog so I'm not posting them.

Well not tonight anyways.

But, I have a story I know I'm never going to write in my journal.

Let's face it, I'm a busy mom and I'm really prob never gonna write in my journal again.

I just don't want to forget it.

Here goes....

Rocky and I were laying all warm in bed this morning waiting for the kids to get up. I knew it was going to be soon, so I was savoring every last minute before all the Christmas fun would begin. Our door opened and a sad little girl walked in. I asked Kylee what was wrong and she answers, "Santa didn't eat." I asked her what she meant and she said, "Santa didn't come and eat his treats. And there are no presents under the tree." She was so sad and I was so confused. I asked her if she went downstairs and she said yes. Then I asked her if she was supposed to go down stairs and she shook her head no. Todd wasn't up yet so we had her climb in bed with us. I had to tell her that Santa did come, but she looked in the wrong room. See, we have 2 Christmas trees; 1 in the front room and 1 in the family room. Santa visited the tree in the family room. Thus no gifts under the tree in the front room. And Santa didn't eat all the treats left. He drank some milk, then dipped his brownie in it and took a bite. He also left a note telling the kids they had been very good this year. She just didn't realize Santa had only taken bites. Next time Santa will have to eat the whole thing....or toss it in the garbage. Finally at 8am Todd and the baby were up and we headed downstairs to check out what Santa left under the right tree. All was good in the end and we had a great Christmas. It was just so sad that Kylee was so sad. I want her to believe for a long time!

Merry Christmas!

Polar Express

Last weekend we took our annual trip up to Williams for the

Polar Express!

It was a ton of fun.

 Todd and Jakob missing their 2 front teeth.

They loved it when we sang, "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!"

 All the cousins!

Nothin "butt" the best!

 Kylee and Kadyn eating their cookies and sipping hot cocoa.

 Jakob, Todd and Bradon eating their goodies too.

 Rocky and his girls.

 Waiting for Santa to come bring them their Christmas bells.

Kylee, Kadyn, Jakob, Todd and Bradon.

Our little family.

They're makin' a list---I'm checkin' it twice

The big K-Mart toy catalog came in the Sunday's paper.

It kept these two entertained for a good long time...

Dreaming of all the fabulous gifts they wanted for Christmas.

They pretty much circled everything then started telling me the gifts that their friends would like.

Plus a few for their baby sister.

Hope Santa has room in his sleigh for everything.

Christmas 2009

Santa brought the kids scooters, undies, some games,

and a Wii.

The kids must have been extra good this year!

They were so excited and I loved the looks on their cute little faces!

We had a great time being with family and remembering what the Christmas season is really all about.

The birth of our Savior.

Hope you all had a good one.

We did for sure.

Plus we look super cute in the beanies my grandma made for us.

Love them!

Christmas Traditions

Making gingerbread houses has been a family tradition for as long I can remember.

Fun was had.

A huge mess was made.

Their houses are sugery, candy filled masterpieces!

Partay

We had some friends from the ward come over for a

fun party and white elephant gift exchange.

It was a blast!

Good food.

Good friends.

Naughty gifts for only the nice!

X-Box for the boys and girl talk for us gals.

We played the string game that tells you how many kids you'll have.

Mine said I'm having 4 more boys.

It'll never happen!

Can't wait for the next one!
