Well, I look pretty huge here, but whatever....

This was our Christmas with my mom and everyone...

Christmas Photo Shoot

We had another Christmas with The Kendall Family (my grandma's side of the family--Kendall's namesake)

LOL!!!

Lookin good Christmas morning..lol

I had called Santa to let him know we were staying at Mimi and Papa's house for Christmas, so he knew to bring Blake and Kendall's presents over there. And, luckily, Mimi has a chimney, so Santa was able to deliver the presents without a problem!

Christmas Morning

Opening the ornament from Momma and Poppa Holt! Thank you!

Christmas morning, we woke up at my Dad's side of the family's house. The kids opened presents with Grampy and Patty before heading over to my other grandparent's for presents that Santa left!!!

Werth Family Christmas

Yep, this deserves a feature on the blog
Patty, Grampy, Kendall--Blake refused to be in another picture

Blake & Skyler--hard to believe these two were born on the same day!

Olivia, Grandma Saundra, Kendall and Blake

On Christmas Eve, we went to the Werth Family Christmas at The Farm near Wichita. Ever since I was a baby, we've been going to my grandparents' house for Christmas Eve. I just love going there because there is so much family....People are running around, opening gifts, having a good time...Oh, and can't forget the never-ending good food! Yum!!! It was nice to be there with everyone this year!

On this note, I'm going to bed....

Just had to post this sweet little picture of my two precious babies! I hope they're good friends when they get bigger...for now, they have all the makings of a very special relationship to come! Kendall thinks Blake is the most hilarious person in the world and he loves holding her hand when she's sleeping and giving her kisses. Sharing...well....that's a story for another not so sweet picture (sharing is going to be an issue in the future, let's just say that)!!!!

Greensburg

The rebuilt Town Hall

The new, greener John Deere

We had to turn around and stop so we could take a picture of this one!!!!

And I even laced up a pair of skates and got out on the rink!

On the way out to Ulysses, we drive through Greensburg. I've posted pictures from the past two times we've gone, so in tradition, I went ahead and posted a few from our last drive through. It's starting to look more like a town and less like a disaster! The're rebuilding and there's a lot of activity in the area.

Even Bryce skated!

Twins Lila and Leila (I can't tell which is which!), Dominic, Blake, Kendall, Bella--The Eddie cousins!

Kendall and Bella


Bryce's cousin Josh and his wife opened a skating rink in town. We got to go there the night before we left town. This was Blake's first skating experience! He did so well! He told me he wished he was Dominic so he could skate really well...lol! Maybe we'll have to find a rink here in town and have a family skating night...Uh...or not!

The kiddos eating together
Me and Kendall as taken by Bella...lol!

Bella, Kendall, Blake

Look at the super strength my son has! He can hold an entire watermelon over his head!

Grandma Jane and Kendall

Christmas

Mimi let the kiddos open up their Christmas PJ's...This was Kendall's first time opening a gift! She thought it would be more fun to go ahead and eat it! Lol! The picture of her in the square seat deal is a special picture....That, my friends, is the Babee Tenda. Lol, I'm sure you're wondering why that's so special. Well, my Mimi and Papa bought that Babee Tenda when my mom and Aunt Sandy were little! We've all sat in it as babies! Sorry to date you mom and Sandy, but that seat is 50 years old and still seating the generations! I am sure there's a picture of me in it somewhere and I know I have one of Blake in it.

These pictures were taken at Mimi's house before we headed West to Ulysses to see Bryce's family. We spent the night at Mimi and Papa's before making the additional trip.
