Making the rounds

At Mema and Papa's

At Jason and Judy's

Peyton and Laine were jumping on the trampoline when we first got there and of course Connor wanted to join in on the fun.

Teagan enjoyed getting some attention from Judy and her Granny.Time to open presents....Teagan didn't have a nap, so she was already asleep.

Teagan's Christmas Dress

Santa Gifts

Everyone seemed to be happy with what Santa brought for them. The above picture of Wyatt is what he did while the kiddos were playing with Santa's gifts....he just came over and layed his hed on my knee. I, of course reassured him that he was still one of our "kiddos".

Decorating Cookies for Santa

Christmas Dress

Mema made Teagan two dresses.....one was the red velvet that I posted earlier and the other one was this one.

Connor was outside playing while I was playing photographer and came in for a break and decided he wanted to be part of the fun.....you can't really tell from the picture though -- I took 2 pictures and he didn't smile in either one so I made him go back outside.

1st Christmas present

We received a package from MJ & Yack on the 23rd......Connor as well as Teagan (as you can see) couldn't wait to rip into it.

Teagan did think her dress was pretty, but really wanted part of the John Deere action.

Letters from Santa

Connor and Teagan each received a letter from Santa....as you can imagine Connor was geeked! He begged me to let him open it immediately and read it to him.

After the Christmas Parade

We went to Granny and Papa Jones house and hung out with Presley.

Inola Christmas Parade

C'mon Santa being pulled in a boat....can't get any better than that, right? lol

We headed to Inola to visit Granny and Papa Jones as well as watch the Christmas Parade. Connor informed us immediately that he was not interested in going to the parade. Thankfully Granny and Papa were not at their house when we went by...we had a load of hay with us and had to go through town to drop it off....that worked out perfectly b/c once Connor heard the fire trucks blow their horns - he was very interested. The weather couldn't have been any better.

Visiting Santa

This was truly an experience.....Connor likes Santa Claus, but has no interest in actually talking to the man in person. I thought I had an "in" this year....we had a plan to go to the "BIG Toy Store" (aka Toys R Us) and look around at all the toys and then head across the street to the mall to tell Santa what we saw. Great plan in theory. Connor wanted to head home right when we walked out of fantasy land (toys r us) and was extremely unhappy when he was informed we were still going b/c Teagan and Jack (Shannon and Jack joined us on this outing....power in numbers) wanted to see Santa. We've (Connor and I) both had our better days. Below are some pictures from the fun-filled event.

Connor when we first got in line....now it wasn't even a long line - we had to wait maybe 10 minutes. Below is Jack - he just cracks me up b/c he seems to be indifferent about Sant....he could take him or leave him.

Me and the kiddos

Shannon with Teagan and Jack (Connor was too busy not being happy about being in line to participate in party pics).

Jack with Santa

Teagan with Santa

I forgot Teagan's stroller so Shannon rented this one for us......yes, for those who really know me, I was freaking out (on the inside) about Teagan chewing on the steering wheel.

When she finally stopped chewing on it she actually looked like she was trying to steer -- too cute!
