Chow time
Gift Time--This one was from Papa. He took the kids empty chip bags and put $$$ down in the bottom of one bag, rolled it up tight and stuck it in another bag, and repeated several times : )
Game Time--Playing "Upset the Birthday Basket" (presents, balloons, cake, etc.)
Connor being silly while playing "Yucky Yummy"! He just opened the bowl with Dijon Mustard in it -- YUCKY!!
Drake not at all happy since he just opened the bowl with Baking Soda in it!
Keegan in the FCA Christmas play! Poor guy, he gets SO nervous and scared, but he does a great job with his lines!
Talon saying his VERY, long lines--he did a great job too!

The kids LOVE it when Papa comes he plays games with them non-stop!
Christmas with Jerry's Family--
Christmas Here @ Home
I think she likes it : ) The big dollhouse was given to us several years ago from some friends of ours and she thinks it is the best gift ever!
More Ebay purchases--Lego's Star Wars game and a Chef Hat/Apron set! Keegan's our cook he loves to help in the kitchen!
Keegan with his pile of loot : ) I bought all of his stuff on sales racks throughout the year and on Ebay as well, yea!
Talon with all of his "goods"! Teens are so much harder to buy for than the younger ones, ugh! The stuff they want is SO much more expensive than others, ugh! He got more clothes than anything, still all good buys from the sales racks : )
I found this shirt on Ebay and knew Talon would love it for several reasons: first it is Abercrombie (like that matters to me), second because he plays the guitar and third because he is at that stage where he likes just about every girl, HA!
This gift was from Kallee to Talon. Her and I found it one day while shopping for only a $1 and since it said something about sisters on it... : ) "Who Needs Halloween, My Sister Scares Me Enough"
This gift was a joke to Jerry from me. He said when he was little he would write stuff on his Mom's grocery list that he wanted, hoping that she would buy it for him, so...he started one day writing one of those same wishes on our grocery list "Plastic Soliders". I was cleaning the boys room last week and found a bunch of plastic soldiers...he found it quite amusing, HA!
Kallee watching Daddy open the Chocolate Covered Cherries she bought for him!
Me opening my gifts from Jerry and the kids! I got several scrapbook items--paper, adhesive, stickers, markers, refill cartridge, etc. "PINK" Body Spray and Lotion from Victoria Secret, Bath & Body Works lotion, a Collingsworth Cd, Perfume, a new suit, etc.
