Christmas in Duncan

We made two different trips to Duncan this past week since Chad was home for Christmas. Mckayla had a BLAST down there getting spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa! She loves chasing their dog Daisy around the house and going outside to see the kitty cats, sheep, chickens, and dogs. It was like a little vacation for Chris and I because Mckayla was attached to Grandma like glue all day and night!!! I'm sure she absolutely loved it, but I'm sure she was pretty worn down! Chasing a 2 year old is quite a job! Here they are playing ball together:

Here are a bunch of pics from Christmas Eve morning when we were opening presents before we drove home (in the horrible blizzard)
Here she is building a tower out of the wooden lacing beads Uncle Chad got her:
She LOVED the Thomas the Train set she got; it was cracking me up how she had to sit in the middle of the little circle the train tracks made!
You think Chris likes Transformers? LOL. He got 2 seasons of the cartoon tv show and he just so happened to be wearing his Transformers sweatshirt

Uncle Chad helping Mckayla open presents:
The infamous Princess Doggie!!!!!!!!
She was reeeeally excited over the singing Rudolph and Thomas the Train!
Look at the beautiful cookies Mckayla cut out all by herself!!!!

And here she's getting a little play time in with her dino :)
Thank you Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Chad for all the wonderful gifts! We had a WONDERFUL time and look forward to the next visit!!! xoxoxoxo

Christmas decorations

This is our FAVORITE Christmas decoration that we have seen at a house by our neighborhood! Pistol Pete catching the Grinch stealing Christmas presents!!! I love it!

And this house is Mckayla's absolute favorite...she always says "I want to see giant Santa and Rudolph!"
I have a good video of another house in our neighborhood with a great light display but it's not working right now, so maybe I can post it later!

Chris's Birthday

On Chris's birthday, his parents picked up his brother, Chad from the airport and we met them at Zio's in the city for lunch. Then we came back home and Mckayla...I mean Chris :) got to open some presents! LOL

She got really excited when it was all unwrapped, but she didn't care about what was IN the box!!
Playing with the paper scraps and tossing it all in the air!
Hope you had a great big 3-0 daddy!!!! Mckayla and I love you!

Star Wars Party

Saturday we celebrated Chris's upcoming 30th birthday at Mimi and Papa's house with Brian, Lacey, Abbey, Madison, Matt, and Wendi. I tried to make it a Star Wars themed party but there really only was a Star Wars cake, plates, napkins, and cups. Mimi and Papa made an AWESOME brisket that I think was the best part of the whole night!!!

Here's the birthday boy!

Madison eating her dress:
The whole group :)

Lacey and Madison


After Chris opened this shirt I got him, Mckayla immediately stole it from him and insisted on wearing it herself!
GI Joe season sets from Matt and Wendi
And later he finally got to show off his DinoBots shirt!
After we opened presents we said it was about cake time and Mckayla ran off to the table and climbed up there; waiting for her cake!
She was "blowing" out the candles before they were even lit!! She was excited!
All that blue icing was bound to cause problems.... LOL
Thank you Mimi and Papa for letting us get together at your house and for the delicious meal!

Wordless Wednesday

Santa

Well, I couldn't get my scanner to work so I had to take a picture of our picture with Santa, so it's not a great quality...sorry! But at least I can show it off! Mckayla absolutely would not let go of me to sit by Santa so we had to make it a family shot! We had been to the mall many times before so she could see him and hopefully get her warmed up to actually sit with him. She was SO excited to see him all while we were at the mall and while we were waiting in line...until we were right next to him. Santa let us know that if we wanted a good smile from her we would have all get in the picture, and we figured that would happen so we came prepared!

Cappucino

Chris and I have been into getting cappucino's from 7-11 lately, especially now that it is getting cold, so Mckayla has picked up on it and now she knows every time we drive by a 7-11 she points and yells "cappucino!!!" From the beginning she has been able to say the word "cappucino" pretty clearly and it is so cute to hear because it's such a big word! So I finally got a decent video of her saying it....
