Christmas 2011

Kyler's Christmas present....Kasey sure is going to miss this tree:


Kyler is just like his Mommy..LOVES Christmas. He is wearing a Snowman Santa hat that he found and has had a hard time taking off:


My Very Special Christmas Present:


Our Christmas weekend started by Kyler and I headed to the Toyota Dealership to have a "boo-boo" replaced on my car. We were there an hour and then headed north to Gramma's to help get things ready for Saturday's events.

We first went to visit Gramma at work to let her know were were there!:

It was a busy excellent weekend. Here are some pictures of Gramma's Christmas Tree with all the goodies underneath and beside it. Every year we say that we don't have money and then.... this happens:

Needless to say, we all had a great Christmas:

We went to Grandma Great's for lunch and the Grand kids did a pile up on Gramma's lap:

Kolton received some gifts as well (very exciting).. including this burp cloth:

These two boys LOVE some tractors!!

This beauty LOVES to be dressed up and pretty:

I got this from my Mommy and it's SO true:

Rub-a-dub-dub...two handsome boys in the tub. They got bubbles for Christmas and just HAD to put them to use!:

Shortly after bath time, we loaded up and headed home as we didn't want to miss Santa stopping by our house the next morning. We had to make sure the dogs were put away and we were in bed so he could come in.

This is our Christmas tree after Santa arrived:

Our Mini Tree and Santa took out Kyler's tractors and trucks he received from family members and placed them all around this table:

Santa even put 3 small gifts under Kyler's personal tree in his room:

When Kyler woke up, he was SO excited and of coarse made a b-line right to the tractor table! I love his look here.. he's saying "wooooow!!":

He immediately wanted to sit at the table and play with his tractors. Didn't care there was anything under the tree to unwrap. HA!:

Daddy helped me convince him to come over and look in his stocking:

And what do you know..another WOOOOOW!! There was Cars 2 DVD in there!:

With Daddy saying there might be more tractors or Cars or Mater to unwrap, that got a little interest in someone (poor Daddy having to lay on the floor):

As if Daddy knew,, there IS Lightening McQueen.. or as Kyler calls him.. Race Car:

How'd you guess???..another WOOOOOOW! I love hearing him say this:

This was one of the smaller presents under his personal tree in his room. He got "Race Car"; Mater and some flash cards:

Once all the presents were unwrapped; we headed back into the living room to see what was up with that blanket. Here Kyler is helping Daddy figure out what is under it:

It's a CARS bike!!!:

Oh how he couldn't wait to get on it.. until it moved and then he bolted off and hasn't been on it since. Sigh.. But on my days off, we will be going to the park to work on it. Wish us luck:

Now this tent was a HUGE hit (thank you Adopt A Family):

He was having a BLAST in it for the longest time. He took all of his new goodies in with him. Look at that smile!:

Here I was being told "NO Mommy; get out!". I asked him if Daddy could come in and he said Yes! Guess that's what I get for being Queen of our Castle. HA!:

A little after playing for a while, we got ready and headed over to Aunt Sherry and Uncle Kevin's to have Christmas with them; Zak and "Nikus". He was making race car sounds here cause he got a lot of race cars:

Oh and he even got his Very Own Camera.. Now Mommy can keep hers! Here he is taking a picture of me taking one of him:

And a BIG Smooch to Aunt Sherry for it:

Later that night we all gathered back up at our house to have Christmas Dinner hosted by yours truly for her first time ever! We had a great turn out and fit 9 people at our new table!

Nikus brought over a new DVD that he got and while I was preparing dinner the kiddos watched it. I caught Kyler having snuggle time with Aunt Sherry. See Aunt Sherry, evidence he DOES love you!:

And since we haven't taken many pictures of this pregnancy, Daddy snapped this one of me before we hit the hay. Yes, I'm HUGE for only 5 months:
