Christmas at G & G's

Yesterday we had Christmas at Granny and Granddaddy's house! It was so much fun! Everyone was there except our sweet, Jeffrey...however, he will be here in 3 days! The food was amazing as always. Granny is the best cook! These pictures are for you, Jeff to hold you over 3 more days until you too will be in them!

Yes, McKenzie had to take MG along...

...and rock her and rock her...

...and rock her!

The Tree again

And us...however, I can't figure out why when this picture is uploaded to blogger it turns sideways. I have uploaded twice and both times...sideways. Does anyone know how to fix that? I really do love this picture of us!!

Check the Ticker...

I just wanted everyone to look at the ticker on the side of our blog. Uncle Jeffrey will be home for Christmas in 4 days! We will get to see his super tan face on Wed. the 23rd! We are so excited! We are just praying that the weather will not delay his flights and he will get home on time!

McKenzie's Boy~ Thank You

Today, we ran out to Brock's house, McKenzie's "boy" friend. We did a quick present exchange and let. The weather today was awful and McKenzie and I are not feeling well, so I was not about to take her inside their house and get them sick too. So when we got home we opened our gifts. Please look below at what Brock and Braden gave McKenzie. It is the most precious thing you have ever seen! So sweet and so thoughtful! Today during McKenzie's nap she slept with it and when I checked on her she was using it as a pillow. So sweet! She just loves it! Thank you so much Brock and Braden!

McKenzie is rocking her new bear, MG, that is what Brock named her!

McKenzie loves MG!

Isn't MG so cute! Look at her adorable elf outfit!

Brock's mom is so creative! She bought a recyclable bag for the bear to go

into and then puff painted McKenzie's monogram on it. Such a great idea Brooke!

We already have it in the car to take with us tomorrow!

Thank you to WI!

McKenzie loves her new shopping cart she got from my aunt and uncle in Wisconsin! She tried to put so much stuff in it and gets so mad when it all falls out! It is hilarious to watch her push this shopping cart! Thank you again, she loves it!

A Preschool Christmas

On Wednesday, McKenzie had her Preschool Christmas Party. It was so much fun as usual. Jason did not have to go to the office on Wednesday so he got to go with us. McKenzie was so excited when she saw us both there. It was so cute. Her little class is so sweet. They had a paper tree on the wall and it was decorated with ornaments that they made. They each made a snowman with their face as the snowman's face and an ornament shaped ornament with their picture in the center. Then they stamped on white bags and inside they made little snowmen candle holders out of baby food jars and their finger prints. Precious and Priceless! All the moms also got a snowman button made out of their finger prints. It was a really fun day! Needless to say after all that partying, MG was ready for a nap!

Look at this face!

Yes, McKenzie is the only one still eating!

Ho Ho Ho means No No No

Today Jason and I took McKenzie to Madison to see Santa. All the way there we asked her about Santa and what he says. She replies, "Ho Ho Ho!" She said "Please" when we asked if she wanted to see him and sit on his lap. So we get to Santa and Santa is not there yet. (We were the first appointment of the day!) So, Emily (the photographer) offers to take just some random pictures of McKenzie by the Christmas tree and sitting in Santa's big chair. She wanted nothing to do with it! It was too funny! When Santa arrived it only got worse. She looked at us like, you want me to sit on his lap! Then, smart Santa gives her a candy cane, she then is okay with him! In fact she was digging all through his candy cane basket getting out candy canes for everyone! I think there was a few smiles in there! We are very excited to see the pictures! Only time will tell! I think by next year she will really understand Christmas. However, it was a fun experience and we will have the pictures to "hunt" her in years to come!
