Christmas 2010

What a great Christmas!!
Kennedy was at the perfect age this year and made the weekend super fun!!
Grammy and Papa flew in a few days before Christmas. We drove up to Columbia (about 90 miles from Charleston) to pick them up. They were only expecting to see Kendal there...of course Kennedy and I hid in the bathroom and ran out to surprise them!!
She was so excited to see both of them!



The next morning was spent being lazy. Watching movies and Mom & I baking in the kitchen:-)
We may have squeezed a little shopping in that day too:-)

Snuggling with Papa
Making Rice Krispie treats
She gets her anal retentiveness from me! LOL!
Daddy had to work that morning,she was so excited when he came home!

I love them!

The local fire department rode around the neighborhood with Santa on the back of the truck throwing candy to all of the kids!!


Apparently my mom thought my house was lacking Christmas decorations or she thought it would be funny to clutter up my house because she knows how much that drives me bonkers
so her and Kennedy worked on a few projects to hang up..

Making their chain~
Assembling a snowman...
Kennedy's Christmas Tree :-)



Santa's aka Mommy's elf working in the garage!


We went to visit Santa on Christmas Eve...
Just like last year she was terrified. As soon as we let her off of his lap she stopped crying and calmly said "Bye Santa Claus" haha!

Christmas Eve was spent baking & making my Grandma's famous chicken soup...
Kendal & I rolling the mini meatballs
So cute together:-)
Grammy's elves!

Decorating cookies and cupcakes...
one of the elves was caught licking his finger~LOL!
Mixing up the cookie dough
Clean up crew!
After dinner Kennedy got in her Jammies and met Nana, Pa,
Uncle Jared and Gaige on Skype to open some gifts:-)
Then we snuggled on the couch and watched Frosty the Snowman:-)
Before bed she set out cookies & milk for Santa,
Carrots for his reindeer and wrote him a letter:-)
Setting up everything at the front door since we don't have a fire place:-(
Santa delivered!!!
Her reaction in the morning was priceless!
She took off running to the tree!
It took almost 3 hours to open all the gifts:-)
My favorite part of the day!!
Papa making breakfast for everyone:-)
Kennedy and Daddy playing while waiting for breakfast
Playing with her new doll house from Gram and Papa
I love technology! Skyping with Aunt Carli Christmas morning:-)
After lunch we found one more present in the garage:-)
She crashed into the garage door so she is a little unsure it but we are working on it!
Kendal's dream come true~ a driveway full of Jeeps!
We are forever a Jeep family:-)
Sewing...
Cuddling with Grammy and Papa on their last night together...

I meant to post this last week but forgot to~
Our 2010 family picture:-)

Hope everyone's Christmas was just as wonderful!
Lots of love and blessings to all of you!
