Merry late Christmas

I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the day with their families. This is my first year to not have Christmas with my whole family and to have Christmas in my house in Las Vegas. We had a Great time getting ready and decorating the house. Not traveling during the Holidays was kinda nice also, but I still really missed my nieces and nephews. My mom came into town a couple of days after Aunt Kelly left us. I am so excited about her being here and staying for a couple of weeks. Kyle and I had a fun time getting ready on Christmas Eve for the kids the next morning. I think we slept 4 hours that night. Christmas Eve we went outside and put out reindeer food then came in a let the kids open one of their presents.  The kids really enjoyed putting out the reindeer food even though it was raining and cold outside.

 After feeding the reindeer we brought the kids in and let them open one small gift and then took pictures by the tree. Soon after opening presents we did the Santa tracker to see how close he was to getting to our house and off to bed quickly.(he was pretty close)

We finally finished everything on Christmas Eve 2:15 am early that night.
 

We had a great Christmas day the kids had to get the kids up extra early(5:50) to open presents because daddy had to work Christmas day. I think this is the first year that all the kids enjoyed opening the presents and playing all day long..             

 If you look closely at the floor in front of the tree you can see white foot prints through the house to the cookies and milk. I think Santa left his boot prints. I pretty sure that Santa enjoyed his cookies and milk because all that was left was crumbs.

Our crazy madness that took the past three days me all day to clean up. 

I think the kids had a wonderful Christmas and received everything they could imagine. I am really excited about the stuff that I got from Kyle. He bought me a new wireless all in one printer, Adobe elements 6 for my computer do so stuff with all my pictures, he got me the dummies books for both my computer and the adobe program, my wonderful steve madden boots, and a girt certificate. Thanks honey I love it all. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody.

The bad blogger that I am......

Well I have been a very BAD blogger this month, but I guess I have been way to busy with everything this month. I have had 2 sick girls with rsv and double ear infections and I tried to just give breathing treatments to both the girls to get it to get better and not go to the doctor, but that didn't happen. I think we have been to the doctor 3 times and been on a couple of antibiotics already and still have to take them back on Monday. They seem to be much better now thank goodness. 

We have also had our wonderful Aunt Kelly here with us for a few days the second week of December. We took Greyson out of school on that Friday and went to the shark reef at Mandalay Bay. The kids love it when we go to the strip and walk around in the casino's and down the strip. We also had one of Kyle's friends from collage that lives here come over and we did a Mexican food and got to catch-up with him. 

We had the biggest snow that Las Vegas has had in 30 years and this is the first time in more than 30 years that schools have closed for bad weather. I really wouldn't say the roads were bad especially coming from Arkansas snowy weather/ice. I live right by the mountains at the top of the Las Vegas valley and we got about 3 to 4 inches and then later the next day Henderson recieved 6 inches. People are so scared to drive in that around here it kinda funny to watch.

This was the day it snowed and YES this is my daughter in a t-shirt and her underwear. (with rsv and double ear infection) I had real issues keeping her dressed and inside during the snowy weather.
These are my two girls the day before the snow came it was warm that day. Kadence is my free spirited little child that is 2 going on 15.

My little Kymbell isn't so little anymore. She had definitely become very vocal about what she wants and telling you no or yes if you ask her a question.
