Here We Go!

How is it already Christmas again!? This year has flown by.

Here's Kallen's 1st grade class

Kallen and Corinne

Kinley's 3rd grade class

We ran into Graham's buddy, Charlie, at Kroger one day. This picture pretty much sums them up, haha. They were hilarious; constantly moving and getting into things. Whew!

Despite being a wild man in the grocery store, Graham is starting to grow up and loves helping do grown up things. He was so excited to bring the empty trash bin from the curb ;)

The kids love playing together and LOVE our new neighborhood and back yard. 

Of course, they are also so excited that Dandelion is back! Kinley asked him to bring her some cookies…because another kid in her class asked for and received cookies from her elf. Lucky Kinley, Dandelion found some for her, too!

The Elf Yourself app is way too entertaining over here. Seriously, it never gets old :)

Popcorn and a playmate with the Tidwell boys!

Silly Dandelion, we found him playing Uno the morning after our big family game night!

Graham was scared watching a movie. Sweet big sis, Kinley, was there to protect him <3 p="">

Kallen's front teeth have been loose, but one got VERY wiggly. She was nervous to let me pull it. While we were at dinner with the family, Aunt Connie "wiggled" it right out! Kallen was so excited to be able to eat again and to be getting a visit from the tooth fairy!

Kinley played in a Christmas piano recital and did a great job!

Kinley's bestie, Anna, was in her church Christmas Musical as one of the lead characters. Kinley just HAD to go see her! It was so cute, Anna did a great job!

Alissa, Kallen, Anna, Kinley

In the past, I have shuddered at the thought of shopping with G and often opted to just stay home. However, I had a tight schedule in December (as most of us do) and decided to risk it. We had so much fun! He is so silly and full of energy. I love his curious spirit and his "all-boy" personality. 

"Rawrrrrrr!"

Lunch with my snaggletooth

It really is hilarious. We elf ourselves year round :)

Silly, silly

So proud of these beautiful sweet girlies :)

Notes from Kinley...

Bud and Kk give the kids Hallmark ornaments every year. This year Kinley got Fancy Nancy. This totally suits her! She is always concocting some kind of dress up outfit out of the most interesting combinations. Here, she is dressed like her ornament, ha ha.

10am lunch date at Costco with this little fella? Why, yes, I'd love to!
