Christmas 2011

We had such a great Christmas.  I hope that everyone elses holiday was as great.  The  kids did fairly well and didn't wake up til 7:00 so that made me happy.  We had to wake up Mckenna though because she was still sleeping.  She couldn't figure out what in the world was going on!  The kids got way spoiled from Santa and Ty and I got some nice things too.  It was a super day.

Finally the long awaited day.....Christmas Eve!!!!  The kids were so excited all day long.  They couldn't wait until the evening started....which by tradition is always the Christmas Eve party at the church.  This year I was in charge of the program (YIKES!!!!!).  But all went well and the kids did super!  After the primary part was over came the long awaited visitor....Santa!!!!!

Only seconds to get all 3 of them on his lap!!



That's it Mckenna is done!

Big Bond Family Party!!

                                                  Last Saturday we have the Bond family Christmas party.  I'm talking all my dads brothers and sisters and all the cousins!  We haven't done this for a few years and it was so great to get together.  I had an inkling there might be a "special visitor" and so luckily this time I remembered my camera.  The kids were so excited when Santa showed up!  Seriously this is the first picture of Connor on Santa's lap where he is not crying!  And then my sweet Mckenna doing the classic "get me the hell off his lap"!  This is how my kids are until about Connor's age or so!  Enjoy!!

Tub Time

I took these pics 3 or 4 weeks ago and totally forgot about them.  The kids love when they get to have a bath with Mckenna.  Macie was having a great time doing Mckenna's hair!  Mckenna enjoys her baths but HATES getting out and lotioned and dressed.  Its torture!!
