Wichita Christmas

Last weekend we went to Wichita to celebrate Christmas.
Kellen is just knocked out cuddling with his blankets on the drive.
I love my Kellen!!
Saturday we went to watch Brayden's basketball game, he did such an amazing job playing basketball!

Saturday afternoon we celebrated Christmas at Grandma's house.
The Davis family
My family
We all got all kinds of great stuff for Christmas!!
Kellen did such a great job opening gifts this year, Grandma got him this little puppy that he just loves!! Kellen LOVES all animals!
I bought Uncle Klint footsie pajamas!! Everyone thought that they were the perfect gift for Uncle Klint.
Uncle Klint gave me a t-shirt with his picture on it. He's the best Uncle!!!
Uncle Klint and Aunt Paris made these cool money gifts for Kourtnee and Brayden.
Grandma and her grandkids
Wrestling with Uncle Klint (wearing his footsie jammies).
Saturday night Uncle P's sister rented the party bus for us kids to go look at Christmas lights. We had so much fun, we got all kinds of goodies and hot cocoa, and the lights were amazing!!
Kellen Grandma and his funny reindeer ears

This was Kellen the entire night, standing on the seat pointing out the window saying
"LOOK AT THAT!!!!" Kellen absolutely loved the lights.
We loved watching the lights!!
Here is one house that had the best lights, they danced to the music... it was so cool!!!
We even got to dance on the bus and swing on the bars. That bus was so much fun!!
Thank you to Uncle P's sister Alicia!
There were actually a couple afternoons that were nice outside. We love Grandma's swingset!



Uncle Klint pulls me down the slide super fast!!
Yes it's Sunday night and Kellen still has his name tag on from Sunday school!!
On Monday Aunt Pretty came over and had dinner with us and then we got to help her stuff the goodie bags for Konnor's soccer team. I'm not sure if we were actually helping but we enjoyed the candy we snuck :)
On Tuesday we went and visited with my Great-Great Aunt Shirley. It's always great catching up with family.

Christmas Party + some

Aunt Pretty, Grandma, and Uncle Klint came up a couple weekends ago to make some more chocolates. This time they made about 750. My Mom has been a chocolate making fool!!

This was the weekend that Dad took us to Indiana, and Aunt Pretty left her kids at home so it was just Grandma and her kids for the first time in probably 10 years. They said they had a great time but it was weird not hearing us kids running around.

Just about everyday when I go to school Kellen loves to go up to my room and read my books. If Mom can't find him she knows to go check my room. Most of the time he goes in, shuts the door and starts reading my books.

He thinks he's so funny!!
I love being Mom's little helper, I like to help Mom out and feed Kellen for her.
"Kellen NO! Touch my food and I'll get you with this fork"
Sometimes I've just gotta hold his hand down in order for me to get the fork to his mouth. He's a crazy boy!!
Look I do laundry now!!

I love to fold my own laundry, I've been going around telling me "I do laundry... wanna see?"
Last Thursday we had a holiday party at school. Mom and Mrs. Lori planned it, we played so many fun games, did crafts, and even decorated a cupcake to look like a snowman.
Here is Katie, Brent, and I showing off our snowmen crafts.

We had a great party. Thanks Mom for making it amazing!!

Santa

There goes Kellen again... standing up on the rocking chair. That boy is always standing up dancing on those chairs!! I'm glad he's so tough, he normally doesn't even cry when he falls off.


Mom just thought that this photo was funny!! We are such goof-balls always playing around together.

I love my brother!!

We got to see Santa at the mall today. This was the first year that I got excited to see Santa, Kellen just kept turning around and trying to figure out who was the old hairy man in the red suit. I made sure and told Santa what Kellen wanted too!! Cross our fingers that Santa has a great memory!!

Fun with my cousins

We had an interesting start to our weekend... all the sudden Friday afternoon my stomach just started feeling funny, and ended up having to lay with a bowl for the rest of the night :(
When I woke up Saturday morning I was surprised to see my Grandma, Brayden & Konnor laying on the couches, I looked around like "Geez how long have I been asleep?!!" But I was super excited to see everyone. Luckily I woke up feeling just like my old self again, it must have just been a little bug.
Kellen found the Santa hat in the dress up box!!
"Here Mommy you put it on"

Mommy and Grandma spent most of the weekend making Christmas candies. There was no way Mom would have gotten all those candies around without Grandmas' help!! We even ran to the store and since we were all good Mom let us pick out a candy to take home for during the movie. Kellen was lovin Konnor and I's skittles.

Konnor and I got to play lots of games this weekend.

Mom basically stood here all day Saturday making, rolling and dipping all the candies!!
Brayden even helped make the Oreo truffles, he did a great job smashing the cookies and even mixed it all together by himself!!
I think Kellen was a little bit too close to the TV.
What can I say he must like "Super Why" just as much as I do!
Look at all those candies, after they were all done they totaled them up and they had made over 600 pieces!!!
Here they are after they were all packaged up and ready to be delivered! We were able to to deliver most of them today, it was nice that they had handles on them so I was able to carry 4 at a time-that was a great help for Mom!
Mom brought up my little couch from the basement today, I insisted she take my picture with Ariel, Minnie, and of course my blanket!!
