Merry Christmas 2011

Here is this year's Christmas card (front & back)!

Twas The Night Before Christmas...

Tradition:  reading The Night Before Christmas

Night, Night!

Sutton loves his big brothers!

Santa Came!!

Cordell and Ayden came running into our bedroom at 10:30, saying "Wake up!  It's Christmas!"

We sent them back to bed until morning. 

I bet this was the longest night of their lives!

A New Tradition

Family Memories Being Made...

When I was a little girl, we had a gumdrop tree.  I had totally forgotten about it.  The other day someone posted a picture of one on facebook.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have one for my kids.  A sweet lady that worked at the bank with my mom brought me one the very next day.  So a new family tradition begins with my kiddos...the gumdrop tree!

Everyone is working hard.

When you see this next picture, you are going to think that Sutton is putting a gumdrop on the tree.

It is actually more likely that he was taking it off.

He ate more gumdrops than he put on!

The finished product:



Watch out gumdrops, here comes Sutton!



Yum!

Never A Dull Moment

Sutton is the biggest monkey of all my kiddos.  He climbs all over the place and gets himself into some crazy situations.

I was working on the computer and looked over to find this.  About that time, there is a knock at the door.  A man was there to work on our garage door, and he needed me to sign the paperwork.  The whole time I was signing it, I could tell he was cutting his eyes over to where my baby was stuffed into the kitchen!  No telling what he thought about us.  Oh well! 

There is never a dull moment at our house!

Polar Express Pajama Day

Polar Express Pajama Day at school...so much fun!

Project Show

Today was the local project show.  Cordell showed a market pig (Oreo) and a breeding goat (Bitsy).  He did a good job.  This is the only picture I got.  Ayden got sick with a stomach virus and had to go home.  He was one disappointed little boy.  He had planned to show in the little britches show again this year.   :(

Kindergarten Christmas Musical

My little reindeer broke an antler,

but he was still quite a cute reindeer!

Baby Footsies

This morning, I took Sutton over to Granny's house to stay.  He was a sleepy head today, so I scooped him out of bed and left.  When we walked outside to get in the car, he said "baby footsies...cold!"  I love those sweet baby footsies and all the sweet little things my little boy says all the time!
