New toys!

Poor Kye. 

He is so deprived, he never gets new toys. 

You see he has an older brother so every time he gets bored with his toys I go dig through Leyton's toy box and find something for him, but usually I only find part of the set.  For example,  he wanted tools because Leyton has "real" tools, so I started looking and all I could find were hammers.  Lots and lots of hammers.

So when Christmas came this kid was in heaven!  He received a whole set of plastic tools that included all kinds of tools AND nails and screws to use them with!

The other day I heard some loud noises and I came in to find Kye "fixing" my cabinets. 

He is so adorable sometimes :)

He also received a big box of Legos which we have made so many towers with I can't even count!

Pictures from Christmas

Christmas has come and gone, but the pounds I added don't seem to be going anywhere.  Why is that?  This season was fun but crazy this year, I seemed to have coped by eating my way through. :) 

On Christmas Eve we made the drive down to Medicine Lodge, KS to see Monte's family and it was a really good day.  We enjoyed our traditional mexican feast with soppapillas. YUM!!  4 of Monte's 5 nephews were there with their 7 kids and with our 3 that made for a very full house.  We managed to get a picture with all of them looking at the camera.  Smiling.....not so much :)

After presents we loaded all 3 kids in the car for the 90 minute drive back home.  Then the next morning the kids were up by 7:30am to see what Santa had brought them. 

Kye liked his football even though you can't tell from him face :)

Nia's favorite was her scarf she had been begging for :)

Monte is the king of Angy Birds so it was only fitting he got the t-shirt.

This was the best reaction to a present I have seen in a long time...and it was for an $8 game of Battleship.  Oh, simple pleasures.

Playing with his new Pirates of the Carribean Legos

 After playing with their presents for a couple hours it was time to make the trip to Larned for lunch with my side of the family. 

One of my favorite things, saying Grace before we eat :)
