Christmas Breakdown

Yes, my posts lately have been few and far between and then they are probobly entirely to long to read....for this I apoligize. But for now I have to hit you with another long one to get all the details of Christmas and New Years down. So to start off the holidays we went to Clyde the Saturday after I got out from school. We went to my Memaws house that morning to have a little Christmas for the girls there. My mom bought them this super cool red wagon and they loved it! It even has an unfoldable backpack thats attached to the back that has storage on top and a cooler on the bottom. Genious! This is my sister Terra pulling them around my Memaw's yard, because I got worn out after 2 trips around the yard.
After we left Memaws, we drove to Baird to have Christmas with my dad's side of the family. We played dominoes as usual and did Chinese Christmas. Fun Fun! We stayed the night there and came home the next morning. I was to busy playing games and having fun to take any pictures, so I am counting on my family to send me some, lol.

Christmas Eve we went to Bronte to have Christmas with my mom's (Amy) family. We did Chinese christmas there as well. Then we drove home to get ready for Christmas morning. Maddie and I had already made sugar cookies for Santa so we put them out with some milk and got them into bed. We woke up at 6 Christmas morning and Maddie found that Santa left her a kitchen (not what she asked for, but still very excited). Kenzie also got a small kitchen from Santa. Then we packed up and headed to my dads for Christmas at their house. As soon as we finished there, we packed up again and headed to my Uncle Tobins house to have Christmas with the whole family and breakfast. (We had to be there by 9 o'clock). So needless to say that as much fun as we had, we were worn out fast, lol. Throughout all of these visits, I failed to get any pictures either :( We videoed the girls opening their presents at our house, but no pics.

We did Christmas with Joshs family the next Wednesday, and it turned into a two day party. We ended up staying the night so Josh could smoke a brisket for the family with his new smoker. We all had a good time. We even went across the street from Lacy's house to feed the geese. This was so memorable! We were feeding them as fast as I could get the bread out of the bag....well they were VICIOUS! I turned around at one point to see my mother-in-law holding a goose by its neck..At first I was thinking "What in the world is she doing?!" Then to find out that the thing had bit her and wouldnt let go..HAHAHAHA She even had a bruise on her leg from that darn goose. She was wearing jeans to! So needless to say when we were out of bread we took off running, lol.

Here are a few of the crazy geese attacking us for food. Jensen had to pick Maddie up so they wouldn't eat her.
Kenzie and I hanging outside at Lacy's.

Santa brought Maddie what she asked him for at Lacy's. She wanted a guitar, and stuck with that everytime someone asked her. So Dusty, I mean Santa, bought her a real minature acoustic guitar and also a toy electronic (very annoying) guitar. She put on a show for me, and sang Big Green Tractor....so funny! She also got a Gator from Santa, and this was a big hit too. Kenzie enjoyed it just as much as Maddie. This is Justing walking beside the Gator while Maddie presses the pedal and Kenzie tries not to fall out.

We went back to my Uncle Tobins for New Years Eve and had a great time playing games and watching the kids play. My cousin Tim has a daughter who is 3 weeks older than Kenzie so its fun to watch them play. My daughters are very alike in many ways and another to add to the list is thier interest in climbing stairs. Maddie loved to play on these stairs when she was little, and now Kenzie is doing the same thing. She crawled all the way to the top by herself. AH!

This is her looking down from above.

My girls and I the first few minutes of 2011! I cannot believe Kenzie stayed awake for it...barely apparently.

The 2 most important men in my life! My wonderful dad and husband. Here is to 2011!

This was actually a few weeks before Christmas, but I thought I would throw it in anyway. We went to the Tour of Lights with people I work with at school, and got to take a bus! One of my friends at work has a daughter that is about 6 months older than Maddie, and they are both very talkative which was funny. They both enjoyed the bus ride as well as the lights. It was a wonderful memory!

Josh and I sitting on the bus together, hehe. It made me feel like I was back in highschool :) Goodtimes!
