Christmas with Bernards-Halls

Alyssa got a new Monopoly game, so here is everyone playing.

Here is Connor just hanging out with Grandpa!

Here is Kaylee surrounded in her presents. She is so spoiled!

2nd Annual Mommy & Me

Janelle printed these cute little signs for all the different stations for the kids

Of course you can tell what station was Connors favorite-it was the cookie station, and he stayed there the majority of the time!

Here is Sarah setting up the ornament station!
Kaylee had such a great time this year. She was at the age where she could make the crafts on her own!

Santa came and read to all the kids, and then handed each kid a wrapped book. They really enjoyed it! It went so smooth with all the volunteers help!

Cousin's in Town

The kids had such a good time having their cousins Alyssa and Robert in town. We got to have a slumber party at our house and had so much fun. We miss having them around, so it was really nice to get to spend some time with them! Thanks for coming to visit!

Christmas Time With the Day's/Sunbury's

We got together with the Day's & Sunbury's to celebrate Christmas. Bobbi was so sweet to bring a gingerbread houses for each family to decorate. It turned into a competition between the mom's (while the boy's watched TV, and Abbi gave me a unfair advantage, by eating the frosting off Sarah's house, each time she put it on.)

Kaylee & mommy getting everything set up!

Kaylee making sure the candy was just perfect!

This was Connors first real time opening presents. He did not understand it at first, but once I started ripping it open he made sure to finish!

Kaylee had such a great time being with everyone. I know what everyone is thinking-is there anything she needs after her birthday...
Thanks again everyone! I had such a great time-just sad time is going by so fast, and the holiday season is almost over (again).

Kids sick at Christmas time

Is it inevitable that the kids always get sick at Christmas time?? Everyone has had colds for the last week, when we finally got that out of the house-Poor Connor boy is getting his eye teeth in. They are almost all the way through. Then the last 2 nights he has not slept at all, I take him to the doctor office, and he has 2 major ear infections. If it is not one thing it is another!

Kaylee's singing

So I was not able to get good snapshots of Kaylee's Christmas performance at church, but I was able to get a family picture to remember this wonderful moment. Kaylee did so good, and of course loved being on stage entertaining people!

Kids Pictures

Here are some pictures my good friend Janelle took of the kids. I know there are none of Jerry. He was super busy and very difficult to schedule with. So Janelle got the kids squeezed in to get a Christmas picture. So after the first of the year, we will get family pictures done together! The last one we had to through in for laughs. Brothers... don't you just love them!

Shower Gift

I love my new sewing machine!! Her are some goodies I made for my friends shower tomorrow. There are burp clothes, blanket, and tab small blanket. I also made 2 wipe case covers (but there is only 1 shown here). I really loved this fabric and was pleased with how it turned out!

Glendale Glitters

This was our first year going to Glendale Glitters. We had such a great time. Kaylee did not want to leave! We got to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas on the big screen, have a hay ride to a live nativity scene & Christmas carol. I think Bobbi and Sarah were in awe of my singing capabilities! ha. ha. ha.

Decorating Gingerbread Houses!

We got together for Dinner at Nona's on Sunday. And for an activity, she had gingerbread houses & trees, for each family to decorate. We had such a great time! These are such great holiday memories to treasure! Thank you so much Nona & Dale....
