Holidazed....

Well the holidays have come and gone and we are finally getting back to normal again. Over the last two weeks we have had a lot going on. Gwennie had her Christmas pageant at school and then we headed down to the Webb Family Xmas extravaganza! We ended the weekend with a nice visit with Aunt Nina, Uncle Bob and Granny Gary.

Then on Thursday GeeGee and PopPop flew into town for Christmas followed by Nana on Friday so we had a full house on Christmas! We all had a great time and enjoyed having our family with us to open presents. Then as an extra treat it snowed Christmas night so we spent the next day playing in the front yard! Here are pictures from both weekends and a couple of videos.

Happy Birthday Ayla and Santa!

This weekend was busy with me at a church event and the rest of the family celebrating Ayla's 4th birthday! I wish I had pictures from the ice skating princess party but the camera was with me at church. Sunday we celebrated with Santa and friends, Porter, Gwennie and Ayla were overjoyed to talk to the Big Man! Hudson, Reese and Cameron wanted nothing to do with him (they all still are feeling a little odd sitting with a bearded man in a red suit.) but here's hoping next year we will get a few cute snapshots.

A little Clark Griswold in All of Us....

As you can see here. We decided to go all out with Christmas this year. Compared to our neighbor down the street (picture is below but blurry because their lights twinkle), we need to add about 20 more strings.

We officially started the holidaze complete with the annual visit to the Christmas Tree lot (same place that the pumpkin incident was) but this time the kids were contained into a fenced in area to prevent another trip to the ER. All went well and we think this years tree is the best one yet. I also found the kids "brushing their teeth" together on Saturday. I think it was more along the lines of playing with the toothpaste but they seemed to have fun. We also shot some video from the ride over of Gwennie practicing for her holiday skit. Please note....be good for Mr and Mrs Sykes....
