Christmas Day 2014


This is the last Christmas we were to spend in our home in Gladstone, MO. Our last time to relax and enjoy our home the way we had it decorated and set up. (Next day was to begin the process of decluttering the house to list it for sale) The kids woke up very excited. Santa did not bring anything this year that needed setting up. The kids all were pretty easy going and didn't really care what they got for Christmas. It was a lot of legos for the boys and dolls for the girl. I was just gonna post a video of them first coming out to see Santa gifts but it was too large of a video. And I really didn't take many pictures of this Christmas, so these are the best I had.



Playing with their things
Dan and I got each of the kids a bed pillow, and 3 of them are trying it out.

It was a good Christmas. We really relaxed and just enjoyed our day. The kids played all day and we just hung out watching them.

Christmas Eve 2014

This Christmas Eve, the kids and I spent the day decorating cookies for Santa. I really wish I had cut the recipe in half because we had WAY too many. And let me just say that I was way impressed at how well all the kids did at decorating their cookies. They worked the bags of icing rather well. 
In the midst of the chaos of decorating

 I included all these shots that were taken consecutively trying to get them all to smile but this is what I got. And this shows my 4 kids and their unique personalities.


 All their hard work and again the different faces of each of them.



 Christmas Eve we let the kids open up one present each. They each were very pleased with what they got.



Anything Minecraft leaves Nate happy
All smiles with his legos

Just what she wanted, a doll to do hair and makeup
