Christmas

It was another fun Christmas this year. My parents and my sister Kelsi came over for Christmas Eve and spent the night, which was soo fun! We ate pizza, the kids opened 1 present, we read Luke 2, and watched the cartoon version of Christ's birth. Then...bedtime for the kids so Santa could come! Kylie and Trevor fell asleep right away, but Alyssa was SO SO SO excited this year. It took her quite a while to fall asleep. Morning came and the kids were soo happy. It was SO fun to see our kids SO happy. Well, Alyssa and Trevor. Kylie was not quite sure what was going on and never really got in to opening presents. She insisted on sitting on my lap for all the present opening.
Whenever we asked Trevor what he wanted for Christmas, he said a new gun. He's really in to these nerf guns and each time he gets one, it gets bigger and better. He's had so much fun shooting us...and these ones hurt!

Alyssa FINALLY got her American girl doll. She's been OBSESSED with the picture of this doll for the last 5 months and has waited patiently (well sort of) for Christmas to come. It was worth the wait. I've never seen a kid love something so much. I've never seen her so happy. Seriously, she would randomly burst into laughter throughout the day and hug her doll so tight. She just absolutely loves her.

Trevor also got this GIANT puzzle...


Merry Christmas!!!

Kylie's hair has gotten long recently, it is really cute. Christmas looks like it was lots of fun. I love hearing the stories of Trevor's guns and how Papa and Daddy play too!
