Christmas Party Fun

Christmas this year was very busy, but lots of fun. The kids did very well and had so much fun at all the parties and opening all their gifts. They were very spoiled by everyone. Our Christmas Day we spent at The Seigman's for the family party. The whole family was able to get together and have a great day together.

Makayla really focused on her present (she looks just like Aiden when her tongue is hanging out.) Ava was so nice as to give her a pretty bow for her hair.

Poor Weston opened his gift and got totally attacked by other kids wanting to play with it. He was so sweet he didn't even care.

We had Christmas with the VanDenTop's on the 23rd this year. It was a very nice party. The kids were so excited to open all the gifts.

The boys wouldn't really let anyone open their own present, always having to help everyone else too. Luckily no one really cared.

Kayla trying to open her first My Little Pony. She is really getting into all her girly toys, I love watching her play with babies!

Daddy helping Aiden with his present.

Aiden was so excited to get his own Combine! ! He uses it to chop and be just like Daddy. What a perfect gift for him, the funniest part is Makayla watches for Aiden to go out of the room and then she quickly starts to play with it.

Thoughtful Aunt Jessie packed lots of present with poppers for the kids to jump on. It was one of the highlights of their night. Makayla wouldn't go home without some, she thought that was part of her gift.

Aunt Jessie got Makayla a nail polish kit. It is adorable and she LOVES it so much. She looks at it all the time saying, 'pretty'.

Our little family party. We ended up doing our family party on Saturday morning. it was great, the kids were able to sleep in and then open presents and have the whole day to play with them. We didn't plan anything that day so we could just relax and have fun with all the new toys.

Kayla sitting on her pile ready to open them.

We got Makayla a doll stroller, cradle and high chair. She is always feeding her babies and pushing them around the house. It is so cute!

Aiden got new play dough stuff and Mouse Trap, he is so excited about all his new games and toys.

We hope you all had a great Christmas as well! Get ready for New Years.

The Wild & Crazy Zoo

My friend Stacy called this morning and asked me to babysit. So on top of the 2 kids I already babysit I had 3 more. The kids all played so nice and had a great play date. They were all so well behaved and played so nice, we had a great morning together.

Aiden helping out with baby Jaxx.

The little kids trying to play with the baby. They both loved him so much and 'helped' just a little to much. Luckily he has 2 big sisters and is used to it.

Little Jaxx is only 7 months and is crawling all over the place. He looked so little to be moving around so much.

All the girls ganging up on Aiden. (I don't think that he hated it.)

A full table of kids for lunch.

And best of all Mike brought a duck to the back door for the kids to see. It was injured but very well disguised. The kids had so much fun looking at the duck and petting it. In this picture I think it is biting Mike. Haha, he totally deserved it.

The Wedding Is Over And The Wierdo's Come Out

We were cleaning up after Nate and Kassie's wedding and things got a little crazy. The boys definatly had a lot of fun singing their hearts out, and the kids played so nicely even when it was way past their bedtime.

Kausten and Makayla playing nicely. That doesn't always happen, but when it does we need to get pictures to prove it.

Sweet Devi keeping Kayla entertained, don't cross your legs around Kayla unless you are willing to give her a ride.

Mike ripping it up.

Really getting into it.

Just a Few Pages

What a Little Stinker! ! !

I went to check Makaya this morning b/c it was 8:20 and she wasn't up yet, not normal since she is always up by 7:00. This is what I found.

Her diaper was dry, her bed, soaked! ! What a stinker. Sadly this is not the first time this has happened. I think I see duct tape PJ's in her future.

Aiden and his BB Gun

Aiden showing off his new gun. He has so much fun with Mike when they go out shooting. He loves practicing and has even shot the pop can a few times.

Aiden's 4th Birthday

Aiden loved being a cowboy for his birthday. He had such a great time with his friends.

A real cowboy vest from Grandpa and Grandma Sterk.

Aiden so proud showing off his presents.

Cowboy hat cupcake cake. Thank you Safeway! ! Saved me from having to try to make it on my own.

Mike got Aiden a BB Gun for his birthday. He was so proud to get his own gun, now he can hunt birds just like Dad. Don't worry, Mike taught him all about gun saftey before he got to use it. He is very good about carrying it around pointing down. I even got to witness him shoot a pop can on his own, granted he shot the fence a few times first.
