Christmas Eve!!!

It's been tradition to spend Christmas Eve at Chad's dad's house so of course that's exactly where we were when Christmas Eve came!! Vicki made the most delicious best tasting Lasagna I have ever had!! She is so amazing!!! We kept the evening short....Santa was needing some extra help getting some surprises together before it was Christmas Morning!!

Christmas Fun at Grandpa John and Grandma Janeen's!!

A few days before the Christmas rush we had an enjoyable time over at my dad and Janeen's house for some fun Christmas festivities! Janeen always puts on a great big feast with all the works! and this year Grandma and Grandpa went way over board with so many fun toys for all the kids!! My Penny and Cash had a blast playing with all their cousins!! It's always great fun being with my family!!!

 

 

Penny's Class Christmas Party!

Oh what fun did Penny have at her class Christmas Party!!! Let's just say too much fun! Her class party was at Chucky Cheese! Penny had only been there 1 other time when she was so little that she didn't even remember so walking into Chucky Cheese was so exciting for her! She had a blast!! Little Cash had a blast too! Santa even came and brought them both a present!! Cash still wasn't to sure about sitting up on Santa's lap but Penny sure Loved seeing Santa!!! Penny sure loves her teacher Mrs. McIntyre and sure loves all the little friends she's made at school!! Merry Christmas everyone!

Our Little Performer!!!

Our little Performer was such a Star up on stage as she sang and danced her little Heart out at her Singer's Company Christmas Performance!! Penny....the stage Loves you and so did the Crowd!! You were a hit up there! Just a singing and a moving and a shaking! Someone else that was extremely proud of her was Cashy!! As soon as the music would start he would start clapping and a dancing just a smiling and a staring at big sissy up on stage!! and when the song was over he would look back at me and point up on stage to Penny!! Oh he's just the sweetest! He was so proud of her!! He did this on every song!

Penny is just the best!! When she hits that stage my girl comes to perform! haha! She truly will entertain you!! She sang a solo to the song "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!" and she did amazing!! She also got to introduce another song!! So she had 2 very important tasks and she nailed both!! My star!!! 

She had lots of family that came out to support her!! She was so excited to see them out in the crowd!! That's probably why she put on more of show!! haha We were all so Proud of her up there!! Thanks to all that came! You truly made her feel so special! We love you all and of course we Love our Big Star Performer!! Keep up the great work!! We can't to see you up on stage again!!

He's just the best! Always smiling, laughing and teasing while at it! He Loves cars, trucks, balls, and pretty much what ever Penny is doing! He just loves getting right up in her business! and I have to say she's pretty dang sweet for not pushing, whining and fighting him away! Penny is just the best with him!! He absolutely loves her! He follows her every move! It's really quite crazy how fast they pick up on learning something new from somebody else!! He's still getting in those top 2 front teeth! haha He's still pounding the food! He knows when food is around!! Penny always says "mom Cash has sniffed it out again...he's coming for that food!" haha! She's the best! and it' so true!! He's saying more words and tons of animals sounds! He claps for himself when he says a new word or sound! It's just the best!! He also claps when I'm doing reading a book to him or Penny! He loves Books! He also loves when I start to sing or when Penny sings he will start turning in a circle while trying to sing/hum along with you! He Loves Music!! Little Cash has especially enjoyed this time of year!! He Loves the Christmas lights and the big blow up Santa's, Snowmen ect. out in people's yards!!  He starts a pointing and "ooooing and aughing! My favorite is when he spots a Santa (it can be anywhere...book...picture...blow up kind outside) he will point and say over and over "ho-ho-ho!" Oh my it's so dang cute!!

She has always been so driven and focused and by far the smartest one out of all of us!!! :) So we had a fun little adventure for her graduation!! It was just dad, Ryan, Eryka and myself that flew back to Oklahoma for her very special honorary ceremony! Just us kids with good ole dad!! Such a blast!!! We laughed, talked, cried and just completely enjoyed ourselves the whole time! Janeen met us there she had driven from Kentucky so that her and my dad could drive back home with some of Eryn's things!! She's all done in Oklahoma!! She's moving back on home and joining the Ortho Office that I work at!! Griffiths and Simister Orthodontics!! She starts Jan 5, 2015! Braces! Braces! Braces! I can't wait to assist her!!!

The next morning we went to breakfast then my dad and Janeen got on their rode to drive back to Vegas! We headed to Dallas, Texas!! We went and saw the Dallas Cowboys Stadium! My honz's favorite team!! So he was a bit jealous that he wasn't with us!! We wanted to go to the six flag magic mountain across the street but they were closed! We were so bummed!! But we got over it pretty quick as we ate a great lunch then headed to see my brother's best friend Ken and his family!! Ken was pretty much my other older brother growing up!! None of us had seen him or his sweet family for many years!! It was awesome seeing them!! We picked right up like no time was lost!! We got to play with their beautiful kids and Kim cooked a delicious dinner and an Amazing desert!! She spoiled us!! The whole trip was so wonderful from start to finish!!
