2015 Christmas Part 1

We had an awesome Christmas this year. The kids are at such fun ages. AK really understood the idea of asking for 3 gifts just as the wiseman brought Jesus 3 gifts on His birthday. I was really thankful that she wasn't asking for EVERYTHING she saw on TV or in the stores. She was pretty set on her 3 things from the first day we mentioned Santa. It was definitely a shopkins Christmas for her! Corban wanted all things musical!

Our beloved Kit-Kat left the kids a goodbye letter and some Kit-Kats to remind us of her since she had to leave on Christmas Eve.

The kids left her the glow-sticks from church

 Putting out reindeer food!

My parents came into town late Christmas Eve and mom was on "Anna Kate" duty. She was so stinkin' excited! Mom said she was up every hour! Thankfully Corby slept all night!

Santa stuffed their stockings.... 

and filled the room with things they wanted...... 

he also likes to leave a surprise gift for both of them together!

(This year it was a tent with sleeping bags)

Abby dog enjoyed the tent!

Finally time to come downstairs!!

And one of the very best Christmas surprises was that Aunt Cinni got ENGAGED!!! We are thrilled!

More to come.....

Firsts for Corban (Preschool and Dentist)

Corban had his first Christmas party at preschool. Bryant was able to swing by and be with him for the whole event. Of course he was on picture duty! Corban was very excited to show him around his "cwass" (as he calls it).

I think he thoroughly enjoyed himself!

He loves stuffed animals now and likes to see how many he can bring with him at once!

Aunt Carol and Uncle Bennie sent new art supplies and they have really enjoyed them! Thank you!!

I try to fit in most of our regular check-up appointments over Christmas break and the summer so I don't have to take a lot of time off of work. The week before Christmas we all had dentist appointments and it was Corban's first time. He was very unsure at first but with a little coaching and persuading from sissy he hopped up in the chair!
