Merry Christmas!

This is a few days before Christmas, but wanted to share Kieran with all his stuffed friends. He thought they might like to watch a show too ;)

Mmmm- gummybears!

Sugar cookies with Nene Orange...

Pizza and frosting- the perfect dinner ;)

Koshka loves to sleep on Kieran's bed- at least someone uses it!

A little watercolor to kick off the holiday break.

Nana's new karaoke machine sure is fun!

Kieran and Presley play trains Christmas Eve by the tree at my folk's house.

Making sugar cookies at Nana/Papa's house.

The tree Christmas Eve, right after Santa stopped by.

Santa brought Kieran, among other things, a dinosaur village and some wood blocks... lots of little pieces to keep track of and step on- what was Santa thinking?!

Santa and his reindeer really liked our sugar cookies and carrots ;)

Christmas morning- Kieran ran in and said in a voice of disbelief, "Santa brought me... SOMETHING!" Guess he wasn't too sure what to make of the blocks and dino-town ;)

"Dinosaur Train!!"

Santa was a busy guy, he also visited Nana/Papa's and Nene Orange's house with toys for Kieran. Kieran is very excited to put his tool bench and tools to work with Papa very soon!

Presley was also very impressed with the work bench and tools- her favorite was the "working" drill which she repeatedly put in her ear ;)

Playing dinosaurs and trains...

Presley mostly just hoarded the dinosaurs- who can blame her though, Kieran isn't the best at sharing ;)

Auntie Shannon got a portrait of Presley like the one we have of Kieran... in pinks and purples of course ;)

I loved all the expressions on Kieran's face this Christmas- so precious.

Santa brought Kieran a Mac truck from the movie Cars- this has been a favorite and travels with us wherever we go.

Sisters :)

Kieran dumping out his stocking- "Trains!!"

Another priceless face- this time the excitement was over a gummy "hotdog" candy- gross!

We spent the second half of Christmas day at Nene Orange's house.

Kieran and Auntie Joyce discuss some important Christmas business ;)

Jaron and Kieran shared a table for dinner- Kieran mostly played though ;) (That's not the boys' beer ;)

Kieran, Jaron, Jaydon, and Braydon- looks like trouble!

Playing with "Max"

Auntie Angie, uncle Aaron and cousin Livy in the gift hot seat :)

Uncle Zack passing out his gifts- thanks again uncle Zack!

Kieran attempts to open this package with his toes ;)

He gets a little help from uncle Zack and cousin Jaron...

And then dad got in on the action ;)

What is it?? It was a giant cardboard house! Kieran asked Santa for a house and he got it! And it's huge!

Daddy and uncle Zack work together to construct the house...

In the mean time, Kieran opened more gifts- horses from uncle Zack (another gift he told Santa he wanted).

A GIANT Batman car from uncle Aaron- AWESOME!

Auntie Joyce loved her Kieran calendar- who wouldn't? ;)

Doing dishes- my contribution to the holiday feast!

Kieran decided the kitchen floor was the perfect place to read his new Cars book ;)

The house is up! It came with markers so Kieran can be his own painter and interior designer ;)

Livy gets in on the house action ;)

At some point all the cousins took a turn in Kieran's house :)

The lady's- looking snazzy girls!

Auntie Angie reading with our little man- so sweet :)
