CHRISTMAS...YEAH!!!

So we started a new Christmas tradition this year. We had a sleep over in our room with the kids. We put them in their sleeping bags on the floor because we didn't want them to wake up and wander into the living room on their way into our rooom and see Santa's presents early. That way we could all wander into the living room and look together. It was pretty fun!
Ooooh...the anticipation!:)

Santa brought our family the High School Musical dance mat and playstation game and sleds, he brought Sierra a cupcake making set (yeah for me!), he brought Joshua a hot wheels stunt set, and he brought Tyler noahs ark. So fun!

We opened presents youngest to oldest. So no, that is not my outfit, it is Tylers.

As you can see Joshua did not hesitate to break into his stocking candy right away.My sweet niece, Hailey, made Joshua and Tyler these adorable stocking caps. She did such a good job. I love them.

Our Christmas mess. Oodles of fun.

I got to help Sierra make cupcakes right after breakfast. I'm actually really glad that she got a present that she will play with this year. It's taken me a while to figure her out.

Sierra got a couple of 100 piece puzzles also. She put one all together by herself. No help. I was pretty darn impressed.

Joshua loves the stunt set that Santa brought. I was pretty intrigued with it too.

All in all, we had great fun!

Sierra's birthday

We have a 6 year old! I know, we're too young. Sierra turned 6 on December 5. Crazy dazy. Doesn't she look so cute in her new outfit? I love having a girl. She is the funnest little person to shop for. Rob would probably beg to differ. He's had to wait for Sierra and I while Sierra's tried on every outfit we'd let her get her hands on. I think he would have thrown us out of the store if he could. In the past we've thrown her a birthday party. They've been psycho. Sierra's cried at both of them, and my house is too small for so many kids to run around in. So this year we told her she could have one friend over. It was great. She invited her cousin and best friend Ashton. And since it was cousin Ashton, she stayed the night. Anyway, I think it was one of her best birthdays.

We taught Sierra and Ashton how to leg wrestle. They spent a lot of the rest of the evening and next day flipping eachother over. Sierra has a few bruises.

She wanted a pony cake. I did the best I could.
The best part! They literally slept in a box together.
