time for bed

This girl fell asleep in a matter of seconds.  Remi was happy to join her.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning was so much fun!  I took a lot of video because there was so much excitement and therefore movement.  I did manage to get a few pictures though.  Kage lined each of his candies from his stocking into a row to form a train.

I was going to take a picture of all the kids next to their stocking but Kierra was the only one who stuck around long enough.  

Kenton was really excited about this one:

A Play Station four with four controllers, head set and games.  Awesome Day!

Kierra got a chest of princess dresses with matching tiaras, jewelry and wands.  She also got the green sparkly and twirly dress she asked for.

Devin helped Kage put his Cyclone together.  It is a big hit!  Each of the kids enjoys riding it.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Porters house for about four hours and then in to Snowflake where we spent the rest of the day and then some.  Maria and Jordan planned on coming to Snowflake later and they were able to get away a day earlier than planned.  They decided to surprise my parents Christmas night.  Maria told me so we could plan ahead and be there at the same time.  They sure did surprise my parents!

Christmas Eve

There is always plenty of excitement on Christmas Eve before bedtime!  We had soup, bread and a Christmas program at Grandma and Grandpa Porter's house before heading home to get ready for Santa's visit.

Santa

We got a surprise visit from Santa tonight!  The kids enjoyed his stories and sitting on his lap to tell him what they want for Christmas.

Awards assembly

Three girls in one school and two boys in another!  I am so proud of all of the kids for being on the Honor Roll again this semester!

Choir concerts

The kids (Kierra, Kaddie, Kindsey and Kardon) had Christmas choir concerts tonight.  They all did a great job with their songs, actions and speaking parts.

Birthday flowers

Devin surprised me with these flowers for my birthday.  I told him not to get me anything thing else, but he always does.  Not complaining though.  He spoils me!

Kenton's recital

Kenton had his recital tonight and did a great job on each of his songs.  He did a piano duet with Olivia, which was fun.  Kenton sang, "The night before Christmas" and "A Christmas lullaby.'' and played "The First Noel" on the piano.
