ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS......

Alexia- "I want a jump rope, hula hoop, bouncy ball, zambi elephant, zhu zhu pet, make-up, and a baby kitty."

Ethan- "I want a jeep, spider man truck, and a bugs bunny toy."

Olivia- "I want a kitty cat." (a real one, yikes!)

Kaeliana- ?????? Whatever Santa brings her she will be happy with!




Wow it sounds like Santa has his work cut out for him at our house this year! Hopefully our kids are good these next 48 hours! We hope that everyone has a Very Merry Christmas!

FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY

We had our annual family christmas party this last week and it was alot of fun! Tricia had an accident and we are keeping her in our prayers! The kids got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him one more time what they want! Kaeliana didnt want to sit on Santa's lap. Ethan participated in the talent show singing one of the songs he sang at the school christmas program, and Jason played his acoustic guitar! All in all it was a fun enjoyable night with family!

ETHAN'S CHRISTMAS PROGRAM

The last week of school the early childhood held their Christmas program! They did an awesome job! They sang Up On the Housetop, and Ethan's class did Jingle Bells! Our pictures didnt turn out that great but the program was priceless! After the program the kids got to make candy trains, and sit on Santa's lap! We got a picture of Ethan's little class along with one of his teachers!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY KAELIANA!!

Look who turned 1! Kaeliana turned 1! I can't believe how time flies! She is so cute, and has quite the little personality! She has two teeth on the bottom in the front and that is it! When she smiles it's hard not to smile and see those cute little teeth! We love it when she smiles! She was so tiny when she was born and now she is growing like a weed! We love her so much and for the happiness that she has brought into our home! Here are a few pictures that we took of her on her birthday!

ETHAN'S CHRISTMAS CREATION

Ethan came home today with a santa face that he had made at school! He looked so cute with it on that I had to take a picture!

KAELIANA'S HOME DEPOT PROJECT

I almost forgot Kaeliana's Home Depot project, we made her a wagon!

HOME DEPOT PROJECTS!!

We went to Home Depot the other day to pick up some wood. While we were there the kids wanted to build some little projects. The projects that they were offering were wagons, tool boxes, and a piggy bank. Alexia and Ethan chose a toolbox, and Olivia chose a wagon. They had to build their projects all by themselves, and once they were finished they got to paint them, and decorate them with stickers! They had so much fun building their projects! They all received a little apron with their names on them. The store offers new projects once a month every month and we told the kids that we would take them next month to build another project. We didnt have the camera with us but luckily Jason took some pics with his phone of them building away! When we got home the kids were tired and decided to take a nap, or should I say they were told they had to take a nap! Kaeliana wasnt tired so she sat on the floor watching her favorite tv show Yo Gabba Gabba. I walked out of the room for a minute and came back to find her sitting with a food tray pulled up to her and using it as a drum! I am so lucky to have such wonderful kids who always keep me smiling!

OH CHRISTMAS TREE...

We put up our christmas tree last week and the kids were excited to decorate it! Once they were finished decorating the bottow half of the tree was filled with ornaments! Some of the ornaments even rested on the floor. The kids are way excited for Christmas. Ethan asks every day if it is Christmas yet. Kaeliana has tried opening the few presents that are under the tree. Olivia wants to know where santa is at, and Alexia is waiting in anticipation for Christmas to arrive! Here are a few pictures of the kids decorating the tree and a couple of pictures of Kaeliana enjoying an oreo cookie!!

THANKSGIVING!!

We had a great Thanksgiving and we hope that all of our family and friends had a great Thanksgiving too!! We went to Jason's moms house this year and it was wonderful!! The kids had a great time with Grandma!! We had a great time visiting with family. While we were there we took the kids to see Planet 51 and they liked it alot! Later that evening Jason took me to see New Moon along with his brother and his wife, it was a couples retreat! I will admit that New Moon was definitely better than Twilight! I am so thankful for my AMAZING HUSBAND, and my 4 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN!! Our kids are the best!! On our way home there was a nasty odor outside as we were driving, Ethan being the character that he is said, "What's that smell?" "It smells like Wal-Mart!" There is never a dull moment in our car with the kids in it! There are so many things that I am thankful for, and it would take me days to post all of them, but I wont! We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Sorry I dont have any pictures to share!
