Christmas 2009

WAKE UP SISTER!!!!
Christmas was everything we hoped for! I tried to keep the girls presents to a limit, and failed miserably, but they had so much fun opening them all. My mom, Barb, BJ, Ty and Sara, Indiana Bones came over for Christmas morning. When we went to wake Maddy up, being the happy morning person she is... yelled at us for being in there and didn't really care that Santa had come for the moment. Once we got her out of bed, she was way excited. Trever told her "all" her grandparents were there, and in a haze of sleepiness she said very sternly "NO dad not all my grandparents are here, Grandpa Ed is my Grandpa and he is not here". It was a sad moment, but nice to know she still thinks about him. Then the chaos began, presents everywhere! So many great presents, happiness and memories. I truly am thankful for my family, holidays really make me remember how great you all are. Maddy wanted to make Kenna a build a bear for a present, I let her do it all on her own. She put a message that was put in "Lilly's" hand that said " I love you Kennedy very much, I will take care of you every day, I love you Kennedy" I almost started crying when she made the message in build a bear.
Trever had to work tonight which really sucked. But hey I got caught up on this, so some good came out of it. Love my girls, Trev, friends, and my family.. today was great!
New Trike, it has blinkers that make the annoying noise normal ones do, a horn and even lights. Ned was thrilled with the trike.
Maddy was really excited about the scooter (and Hello kitty water cooler, gum ball machine, and shoes) Santa had left, shes just not a morning person. We had to talk her into getting out of bed at 7:15
Maddy made me this present all on her own and even wrapped it on her own. The wrapping was so cute, and the gift was a half colored hello kitty princess.
So many gifts to open

Everybody needs a 64 oz flask... right??
Stockings at my moms, Kenna is getting increasingly frustrated about something

Grandma Mayne got Maddy a makeup kit, she loved it and played with it all afternoon. We all got our finger nails painted, including her.. she did her own :)

Christmas Parties

We had so many Christmas parties this year. Always staying busy. We started out with the Mortensen family party at the WV fitness center. It was a good time, same as always nothing much different. Maddy really liked her glow gift, as did mom and dad once we got playing with it :)

The day I get them both looking at the camera will be a great day
Maddy's preschool had a performance, it was very cute. As they were getting ready the teacher started saying all eyes on me so we can start, and Maddy blurts out "Just start the music so we can sing" the crowd busted out laughing. Her teacher always tells me how much she loves Maddy and her cute personality.. I asked her after wards if she still thought she was cute... she still loves her! Wow could she be surrounded by more boys?? Back off!!

Awaiting Santa's arrival
Our friends the Silvers were kind enough to invite the kids to a Santa party they host. Its mostly all boys that Cody and Eric invite so Maddy had to adapt, she had a great time. Kennedy and Riley tortured all of them up to the time Santa arrived. All the kids were way excited. This was the second time Maddy has seen Santa, the first time at the mall she told him she wanted a "hello kitty gum ball machine" and this time she told him she wanted a jewelry box. Luckily I had both already, we had a happy girl on Christmas morning. This is when I realized Kennedy didn't want much to do with Santa. She would stand by him, but not sit on his lap. I think her little pig tails were in every bodies pictures because she wouldn't leave his side, but sitting on his lap was a NO.

We had our adult party at Mikes. I'm pretty sure not much needs to be said about the night, other then the electrical fire we had during our dance off. Nobody seemed to worried, we all just kept dancing.
I love this picute!
My moms family party was at my Uncle Phil s house. Santa and Mrs Claus visited this party. Maddy, Jack and Eli were very excited when they showed up, and really Kennedy was too. She just wasn't going to sit on his lap. Again, I think her head was in everybody else's picture.

Really?? Nobody could look at the camera? My mom with all her grand kids-Dylan@5 weeks old

Temple Square

Funny picture from after Maddy's 3rd dance performance couple days ago. She did a great job, she gets better each time. She danced to Rockin' around the Christmas tree, the girls were all cute. She remembered almost all of the dance!
Umm what are we doing???

Trever's mom came into town for a family Christmas party a day early and stayed with us. We all went down to see the lights at temple square. I have not been down there in years and the girls have never. Very pretty and it was nice to walk around browsing with the family. Girls thought the lights were neat, but we went a little late so they got tired. When we go again in 5 years we will go earlier in the day. Trever was pretty proud of himself that we got out of there without hitting all the traffic.
Kennedy is finally starting to talk.. some but its progress. She does have the cutest little personality, she makes me laugh all day. She walks around all day saying "shoe" because they are her favorite object. She loves shoes.
