A Kansas Christmas

We headed to Kansas very early in the morning like we always do and got to Papa & Mema's before dinner.  The kids gave big warm greetings and was ready for the fun to begin, and that it did.

Sometimes I do not take a lot of pictures for what you will see is to come but I got a lot.  They may not be in the perfect order but I will try and do my best.

From day 1 we got to reunite with cousins, we meet Cadence, and the fun just kept coming!  Let the pictures begin!

Our Little Christmas

The weekend before  we left for Kansas we took one day and made it our Christmas. We went to church, went out to lunch, saw Santa at the bass pro shop, and then headed home to do gifts. It was a lot of fun surprising the kids with all the fun little gifts we got them. Almost all the gifts were collected over the summer & fall months from garage sales. Then the each got one big gift.   We made Nolan a toolbenh and I found a babie house for Gracie. I was going to make her a Barbie  house like the one I had when I was little with an elevator. At the last minute I found one on a garage sale site for $20. Barely new and I am sure or was originally $150 so I was pretty happy.
