Although I am feeling in a holiday mood this year, we are having a hard time catching up with time. We still haven't gotten our tree (which Makenna keeps reminding me about...we will be doing that early this week). We just barely decorated the house this weekend...but Todd did get lights on the outside of the house this year as well! Go Daddy! It just feels like time is getting away from me and all the things I want to be doing this Christmas seem to be happening late.
But we have done a few things and we will be doing more this week! Here are a few "christmasy" pictures and then just some other random silliness that is always taking place in our home.
Grammy brought over a gingerbread house kit and she and Makenna, with some help from mommy and daddy, built it! It was so much fun and neat to see Makenna really enjoy the assembly job. Kellen kept sneaking candy off the table and stuffing his mouth full, so he too enjoyed the activity.
Kenna found these silly glasses in uncle "ding's" room. Our form of dress up at our house :)
Kellen wants so bad to be big and ride Kenna's tricycle. And although he is a big boy, he is not quite big enough for that one yet. However, he has learned that if he sits on the back like this, his sissy will give him a free ride around the backyard. Smart little guy.
I hate the rain. Really, I do. And don't try and convince me to feel any differently about it...you will be wasting your time. So, in an attempt to improve my mood in the midst of all the rain we have recently had, I bundled the kids up (San Diego style) and we went splashing in the puddles and playing in the rain outside. The kids and I had so much fun, as did Bella (the dog). It really made the rain much more tolerable that day!
Kenna, teaching he little brother the art of splashing in puddles.
As you can see, in our backyard the word "puddle" is and understatement. We have some sever drainage problems on the side of our house, which forms Lake McKamey any time it rains. But it makes for good fun for the kiddos.
