Christmas Morning

Christmas morning we all went down stairs to open presents in our PJ's.

Kennedy was so excited for her very first Christmas!

She couldn't wait to start unwrapping all her presents.
Is this one for me daddy?
Is this what you do with it?

Mmmmm, Yummy!
I think she liked the wrapping paper more than the gifts...
crinkle, crinkle, crinkle.
Auntie Dee and Uncle Lloyd bought her "It's a Wonderful Life" for kids.
Chris was excited because that's his favorite Christmas movie...
Kennedy just loved looking at the pictures.
Oooo, more presents!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!
Kennedy and Mommy...she just can't get enough of that wrapping paper.
Kennedy and Daddy playing around.
What does that button do dad?
Oooo, shiny!
Cousin Aimee got Kennedy the most adorable "Baby's first Christmas" ornaments.

Well that's enough opening presents...time to get ready for the family to come over.

Christmas Day

Chris and I hosted Christmas this year. Everyone came over around 2 to eat an early dinner. Of course we tortured all the kids because we made them wait until after dinner to open presents. They were all so eager that they could hardly wait. Luke on the other hand is very deliberative. I think he played with the first present he opened for the entire time the other kids were opening all of theirs. We finally made him open the rest of his.
Brooke got the Heelies (shoes with wheels in them) she wanted...
and Kira was all about her Littlest Pet Shop.
It was pure chaos for about an hour straight.

After opening all our gifts we took some family pictures...ahhh sisterly love.
Just the sibs!
All the kids with Mom
The Poole family (Phil and Naomi)
The Clapp-Rabuse family (Josh and Suzanne)
The Damm family (Chris, Kennedy and Debora)
The Swanson family (Steve, Becka, Kira and Brooke)
The Clapp family (Kailee, Misty, Jason and Luke)
All in all it was a great day of family, food and fun!

Holiday Cutie

I dressed Kennedy up in this cute candy cane dress the week before Christmas We thought that she was just so adorable so we took a bunch of pics before we went to work/daycare
I think she got a little annoyed of all the picture taking after a while

Precious Present

This year we opened one gift early.

What am I doing in this box?

I guess it's not so bad... I am the cutest... most bestest...
present ever!
Ok, get me out of here already...I'm tired.

Hanging Out

Chillin' with Dad on a Saturday morning...
