CHRISTMAS MORNING

Santa brought Kenzie a wagon!

I had to keep handing her all the presents...

because she wouldn't get out!!! Great gift Santa!!!

"CHEESE"

While Dad checks the fire, Mackenzie tries to push him in!!

For Christmas breakfast I decided to make it easy on myself so I put together these sausage "Mc" muffins. What a treat, quick to make and easier to clean up!!

"Every letter makes a sound" Kenzie loves to play with this and we can be in the kitchen at the same time and sing some tunes!!

MMMM TOOLS AND CARTOONS!

This is Justin being spoiled!!

Every year I have a visitor come to stay with me for a few days during the season. It camps out on the right side of my face and is always a festive red colour. It wouldn't be Christmas without it!!

OUR HOME AT CHRISTMAS

I've been promising some pictures of our home to those who haven't seen our renos.

CHRISTMAS OUTFIT

These were the best shots I could get of Mackenzie before church on Sunday. She looked so cute!

PARTY AT UNCLE BOB'S AND BIG BUGS!!

The friday before Christmas, we went to Rob and Steph's for a family Christmas party. They were wonderful hosts and we had a great time! Rob insisted that nobody was cooking, so KFC it was. After dinner we opened our gifts and played 80's Trivial Pursuit. We teamed up Boys against the Girls and the boys spanked us!! Never play that game WITHOUT Justin on your team, he knows everything about the 80's.

I had to get a shot of Rob and Steph's cute fireplace.

Jessie thought it was about time to start teaching Kenzie about where most of our money goes. Thanks for the cash register Auntie Jessa!!!

WARD CHRISTMAS PARTY

This was the first attempt to sit on Santa's knee. As you can see, she was very unfamilar with him. She didn't even crack a smile but she never cried so that's a good thing!!

This is one of the girls from my Activity Night group. Mackenzie loves her! Jessie took over and played with her all night! What a break for me!!

In line getting ready to meet Santa.

Even though she dissed the "Big Guy" she still scored some yummy treats!

KENZIE AND "TANTA"

Justin asked me the other day when we were going to take Kenzie to see Santa and get her picture taken with him. We realized that it was 3 days before Christmas and he would be heading back to the North Pole soon so we headed down to the mall for a visit. When she first saw him, she played a little shy (which is not like her) but warmed up to him quickly. He really is a jolly old soul!!! Afterwards, when we tried to leave the mall, she ran under the velvet ropes shouting "bye Tanta, bye Tanta"!

A SNOW DATE WITH MOM

Today was such a beautiful day that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take Kenzie for a sleigh ride. She loved it!!

She kept pulling her mittens off and then I would have to kiss them till they were warm.

We had a wonderful time!! I sure hope it doesn't chinook so we can keep going for some fun rides!!
