Christmas...sort of

Here is a post about our Christmas. It appears (from looking at my camera) that we did not take many pictures of all of our Christmas celebrations. I think having a near 5 year old and 1 year old twins doesn't allow for much picture taking. I guess with 3 kids who are mobile, we are too busy chasing to stop to capture the moments. We will try to do better in the future! Here are some pics from Grandma and Grandpa's house.

The twins really loved climbing on the presents more than opening them.  Little bro proudly stood on top of this box after this picture was taken.

Sissy really loves this present, even though it is for her brother.

Here is the poser, getting ready to see Nikko man.

This is probably one of the better pics I have of the 5 knuckle heads.  I guess it will get easier, as they get older. 

The best part of the evening was when the kids discovered Santa stopped by while we were at Nikko's for dinner.  They were so excited, and I think the neighbors could hear them screaming!

Buddy got a bike and dream lite from Santa.  Bro got an Elmo chair, and Sissy got a doll stroller.  I think the stroller is by far her favorite gift!  I will have to post a video of her pushing it around soon.  The term "hell on wheels" comes to mind when I see her pushing it!

Little Bro's New Look

Little Bro got his first haircut in time for Christmas!

Before...

...after.  I think he is very handsome with his new "do".

Weekend Fun

We had a fun weekend, full of activities!  On Friday night, we had Shelley, Derek, Sarah, Uncle Matt, Grandma, and Grandpa over for a little Christmas party!

Here is little bro playing in his jammies!

Buddy got lots of fun toys, including these toy guns!

Sissy got her very first doll from Shelley.  I love the look on her face.  She is already really sneaky!

We had some Left Right Center action, as that was one of the gifts in our gift exchange.  Grandpa wanted to pony up $20's, but we stuck to dollar bills.

On Saturday night, we took Buddy and his friend Ethan to the KU basketball game!  They had a lot of fun!  On Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa took Drew, Alli, and Buddy to A Christmas Carol.  The kids did great and enjoyed it!

Fun Pics

We did some Christmas shopping last weekend, and we ran into Grandma and Grandpa at the Topeka mall (they were shopping too).  They have a cute little train that runs through the mall. 

Uncle Matt came by the other night, and Buddy showed him where the elf was hiding (right in our tree)!

A family friend, Shelley, retired from KU last week.  We went to her surprise retirement party this past weekend.  I think we definitely surprised her!  Congrats Shel-ster!

ICL Party

Here are the kids with Santa at the ICL Holiday Kids Party!  We are surprised Little Bro wasn't scared of Santa!

Buddy even got a Rudolph balloon hat!
