Going Back

Troy had a few picks on his phone I forgot about.  When we went to Cabela's to meet Santa we got to play some fun games at no cost, awesome.

Cincinnati Christmas

We didn't travel to see my parents for Christmas but we did iChat and open presents when we got back from Kansas.  It was fun to watch the kids get excited for the gifts.  I didn't get many pictures since we were opening on video but a few right after.

 Gracie set up all of her new Barbie furniture right in the living room
Gracie also got a really cool art kit.  Super special gift for a girl who loves to draw.
Nolan has merged the life of Batman, rescue bots, tools, 
and john deere.  The kids have been busy creating.

What Happens in Kansas

Goes to the Blog!!

And since I know most of my readers I felt safe sharing this....Honestly I would put this on Facebook if I got the ok, just because it was so funny.

My SIL Audra makes little music video's all the time.  This past summer she showed me a few and I admit I was jealous I had not thought of the idea;)  Fast-forward to Christmas she was showing them the Kristen and we thought let's make a video, why not, the idea of the video came together pretty quickly.  But we need some items to complete the wardrobe.  Audra and I walked into the local resale store of sorts and asked if she would mind if we borrowed a few of here fabulous fur coats, we explain our use of them and offered cash to be held or driver's license and nope she didn't want a thing...no where would this happen.  We took the coats for about 12 hours, serious trust in a small town.  Anyway, we did the video in one shot and then we laughed so hard we cried, well at least I did.
