Christmas, Christmas and MORE Christmas! School parties and family parties ... it's Christmas OVERLOAD!!!!



Kohen's School Christmas Party

It was the fanciest kindergarten party I have ever seen!


Cookie making station

He realized his hot chocolate cup had an edible rim of white chocolate and sprinkles.  He couldn't pass up eating the rim!

Class pic ... serious on the left, goofy on the right
He was very proud of the present he made for us.  It was a calendar they worked on in school.

Karlee's Preschool Christmas Party


They put on a show with three Christmas songs.
Waiting in line to play "Throw the Snowball" and "Pin the Nose on the Snowman"

The Meyer Christmas - Nebraska

Kohen lost his third tooth on the Friday before Christmas.  He lost it at school ... one of his friends punched him in the mouth and the nurse pulled it out.  She gave him a little treasure box to save it in. I have to say, I'm happy that kid "punched" it out.  We'd been trying to pull it for a few days and he said it just hurt too bad to pull. So, the tooth fairy made a stop all the way in Nebraska at Great-Grandma's house!
Kohen and Korinee having fun upstairs. The kids loved being up there.  So many things to look at and places to explore.
Karlee loved that great grandma had little doors.  This made her day! She thought it was even better that there was a little door on each side!

Ready to party!


Four Generations
Ready to party!

We had the Meyer Christmas at the Scribner Legion Hall and there was a tank outside.  Kohen loved this and kept going outside to play even though it was at least 5 below that day! He said he and the other kids were pretending there were bad guys on the tank and they were hiding from them.
All the kids were drawing pics.  Kohen was updating his letter to Santa. Santa was coming in a few minutes and Kohen had a few additions to make! 
The first pic is showing the kids looking for Santa out the front door.  Santa had just made a call to Aunt Jane and said he was on his way.  The second pic - he has arrived!

Kohen wasn't shy at all.  He plopped down, gave him his list and let him know what he wanted.  Karlee wouldn't go up without me and Korinne was sleeping, which was good because she wouldn't have gone up at all if she hadn't been. 


Korinne played with these Barbie boots all night.  She didn't want to let them go.  Luckily, Jane let us take them as a "parting gift"!

A great party was had by all.  We were our way home and things couldn't have been more peaceful ..................


........... or could they?!

These two LOVE to bother each other!



When we got home, it had snowed quite a bit.  Everyone had to get out right away and play in the snow!









This same spot on the bed had a magic effect on these two after their bath that night.  I think it was 7:00.  Too much fun at the Christmas party and playing in the snow, I guess. 

Christmas Eve

We baked cookies for Santa.  Kohen's cookie mix from school came in handy!
I caught someone taking out day 25 one day too early!
All ready for Christmas Eve church.  She wasn't about to let us take all of those beautiful necklaces off.  She received many compliments at church!




On our way to the Gibbs side for the Christmas Eve party.  They didn't even make it to I35 before they were out (we were only going about 15 minutes away).  They slept in the car for a good 45 minutes after we arrived!
Leaving milk and cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.  Although, Karlee kept eating the carrots!  You'd think it would be the cookies but she's on a carrot kick!  We had to sprinkle reindeer food in the front lawn too so the reindeer would smell it and find their way to our house.  
Ready for bed ... better get there before Santa comes!

Christmas Day


Christmas morning pancakes


Christmas at Grammie and Pa's










Mark's family's Christmas at Michael & Paula's


This is a rarity.  Had to get a pic!

Poor Korinne!  She had a rough Christmas.  The day before this she had walked into something and got a black eye and then this night she fell off of a chair.  She had a pretty good goose egg.  The chocolate shake seemed to help a bit, though!
Apples to Apples

A Few Misc Pictures Thrown In  

When you have this many pics in one post, you might as well add a few more!

That's not a look of, "I'm about to do something evil", is it?!
