Christmas Tradition Continues

Our day ended with my mom's side of the family on Christmas evening. It has always been tradition to be at Poppy and Grandma Sondra's house on Christmas day--and the tradition continues! The boys were spoiled (again!) with many new gifts and here are a few pictures from the day:

The Seems Family!

My cousin Rachel and her husband recently announced that they are expecting their first baby next summer--I just had to give them an outfit to get the baby's wardrobe started :-)

The 3 preggos in the family!

Christmas Afternoon

After the little ones, and some adults too, had naps we headed over to my aunt and uncle's house to spend time with the Seems side of the family. It was great to sit around and chat with one another!

Grandpa Seems with his great-grandkids!
Ryleigh and Kieran playing their Leapsters!

Kiptyn showing great-grandpa how this thing works! ha!

Who knew that it would be in the upper 40's on Christmas day?! The kids were able to run around outside for a little bit!

Christmas Morning!

Christmas Day was a busy day for our family as we celebrated with my parents, then my dad's side of the family and finally, my mom's side of the family. But, overall, it was a great day! Here are some pictures of our Christmas morning at my brother's house:

Grandkids!
Kiptyn wasn't really into opening gifts--he just wanted to play with cousin Caden's toys in their room!

Kieran was excited about Thomas stuff!

"Daddy's Little Girl" picture frame I received!

One last BIG present for each of the grandkids!

Grandma playing on the floor with the kids and some of the new toys!

The First of Many Christmas'

With Chuck's non-traditional work hours and us traveling to see family over the holidays, we have to plan our little family Christmas at different times each year. So, tonight was that night!

The boys picked out John Deere Tractor gifts for each other (with daddy's help!)

"Choo-Choo"

Kieran was so surprised by his Leapster Explorer!

Kiptyn got his OWN chapstick--now maybe he'll leave mommy's alone!

Opening our parents gift that Kieran made at preschool!

So Cute! I love it!

Little Brother Watching Big Brother!

We will see lots of family over the next week and we're really looking forward to celebrating the holidays with all of them! Stay tuned for many more Christmas pictures to come!!

Wordless Wednesday!

Christmas with Tara

We celebrated Christmas with my friend, Tara, last night!

Kieran helped me pick out Tara's Christmas gift and she loved it! Good job, buddy!

Wordless Wednesday!

Christmas Programs

It's hard to believe that Christmas is only a couple of weeks away! We had a busy day yesterday with 2 Christmas programs for Kieran! We had his Sunday School program at church in the morning and then his preschool program later that evening. He did a great job!

Pictures from his church program:

Not too much into the singing part, but he was moving his lips a little bit!

The kids singing "He is King!"

Getting ready to sing "Jingle Bells for Jesus!"

Pictures from Kieran's preschool program later that evening:

Again, not into singing much, but just a little bit!

A smile for the camera!

His preschool class!

Singing "Little Drummer Boy" with sticks! He has been telling me about these colored sticks for over a week now!

He got into this song!!

We were very proud of him and how well he did--he may not sing "loud" but he did good! My parents drove down to KS Sunday morning for my nephew's Christmas program at church and then they traveled all the way here for Kieran's preschool program that evening! Kieran loved having grandpa and grandma here so he could show them his classroom and so they could meet his teacher!
