Cookie Company Play Date

We got to go to the Cookie Co. with our MOPS friends for a tour! We got to see the different cookie shapes, the big box of cookie dough, the big fridge, the oven, and even the syrups for Coke! Then the best part was making a yummy cookie to eat! McKenzie decorating her cookie...she made a snowman...
Teagan decorating his cookie...he made a snowman, but would have been happy with anything!

McKenzie enjoying her cookie!

A friend has posted a picture of him eating it like a dog on facebook!

My kids....happy with a cookie and Sprite before 10am!!!

McKenzie Begins Ballet

McKenzie has been asking to dance so she got dance lessons for her birthday. She is trying it out by doing an 8 week class at the Parks and Rec. So far she seems to be enjoying it and is excited to go to class each week!

Bye Bye Christmas

Teagan's new hair gel

Teagan decided to make a new hair gel out of peanut butter and jelly (pronounced Jello by him).

Needless to say he got to take a bath after lunch and all by himself he had every bath toy out and the tub decorated!

Nate's First Rice Cereal

We waited until Christmas travel was over to try Nate out on cereal. He did pretty good on his first try at it.

Finally Home

We made it back home and had a van full to empty! Teagan found his new helmet and some goldfish and had himself a little snack while we unpacked!

On the road again....

We had a great visit in Arkansas, but it was time to start the trip home. The kids were out in no time! We made it to Symrna to Uncle VJ and Aunt Maggie's where we stopped for the night. We got to visit with them and GM and GD! It was nice to see all of my grandparents in one day!!

Present Time

There was not much room and my kids had way too many presents to open. It is really hard to take pictures of 3 kids opening gifts. I have no clue what anyone else opened in the room! Next time we will have to let the kids open the gifts from us after Santa.Steven helping Nate
McKenzie got a box full of purses from Aunt Linda (her great Aunt)

A purse for every month...what more could a girl want!

Teagan loved his new bike helmet

Teagan's Nap Time Fun

Teagan was suppose to be napping....he stayed in his pack n play, but managed to bring "toys" in to play with instead of sleeping. Teagan with my makeup bag and McKenzie's hair bag...
He had foundation all over him!

It was too funny to punish so we took pictures, got him up, cleaned it up, and went on with the day....
