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!!

Thanksgiving weekend

Kellen loves his blankets, he will pull them all around the house all day long.
We drove down to Wichita Thanksgiving morning for lunch at Grandma's house with all our family.

Kourtnee and Kellen waiting for lunch to be ready!!

Me, Brayden, Konnor and Kellen

Grandpa Cold Beer wasn't there for Thanksgiving but drove to Kansas on Friday, he stopped by Kansas City before he headed to Wichita. Kellen and I had so much fun with Grandpa Cold Beer!!

Grandpa Cold Beer and a sleepyhead Kellen. Lately he has been really sleeping in, he had just gotten out of bed, you can see his face is still got snot on it!!

We had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend!!

Disney on Ice

Yesterday we went to Disney on Ice, it was AMAZING!!! It was supposed to be a Mom and me day but we ended up having to bring Kellen along too. He had tons of fun so I guess it was OK that he came with us.

Mom didn't realize that she bought rink-side tickets. We were literally in the very first row just a walkway between us and the ice. We were actually sitting on the ice, there was just cardboard between our chairs and the ice.

Mommy, Kellen and I.

I loved the big castle backdrop.

Mommy even bought us some popcorn in the Incredibles box. Kellen and I ate almost the entire box!!

Kellen was so good during the show, he definitely loved watching all the characters skate on the ice.

I met a friend there... Snow White came down by us and watched some of the show with me!!

In the end all the Princesses came out and I thought that was so cool!!

I was really excited when all the characters skated right by me and I finally got to see Daisy!!

Kellen has been obsessed with these beads lately. He wears them all day everyday!!

My first sleep-over

Mommy got out my zebra for Kellen to play with. He fell in love with it as soon as he got on it... he's too cute!!

Man oh man don't I look bored?!!!

As much as I love watching movies I hate the cold weather, I'm really gonna miss seeing my friends everyday and riding my bike on the deck!!

Katie's brother Jake was having a sleepover with lots of 10 year old boys so we invited Katie to come spend the night with us. We were both super excited and couldn't wait for the sleepover to begin! After dinner we got out our sleeping bags and ate our ice cream and watched Tinkerbell.

We also played lots of games... hungry hungry hippos, bingo, dominoes, cootie, and candy land.

We were just "practicing" sleeping. We were really watching a movie, we just wanted to play a joke on Mom and pretend like we were asleep!!

This one isn't pretend... Mom thought we looked so cute sleeping together so she had to take our picture!!

After we watched a couple movies we moved up to my bed. I had a pretty bad cough and Mom didn't want me to sleep on the floor so we put our sleeping bags on the bed and we went right to sleep. We were both really worn out.

Mom made us special pancakes shaped like lots of cool stuff. I had a couple "K" pancakes and also had some "butterflies" "hearts" and "princess tiaras". Mom calls me a pancake eating machine, I can eat so many pancakes!! (Mom does pretty well at pancakes but my Grandma is the Queen of making pancakes, she always makes me the coolest pancakes... thanks Grandma)

Katie and I had so much fun at our sleepover. We can't wait until we can do it again. I hope that next time I can go over to Katie's house!!

Kellen had fun playing with Katie too, he was sad when she had to go home!!
