Christmas Morning

SANTA WAS HERE!!

Gee, what a shock that Colton would peel the wrapper and dive into his chocolate Santa within seconds of finding it!

My boys.

Colton LOVED the punching bag! He kept tackling and wrestling with it!

Kyla loved her Princess fort. She had her pillow, several blankets and every baby she owns already moved in.

"CHEESE!"

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

Here we go!

Here's Thing 1 and Thing 2 aka Reuben and Colton.



Sweet Kyla with her beads. Now we can make necklaces and bracelets!

It was so cute, the boys were helping to open each other's gifts.

This was really cool. It's the word Knoke (my Aunt and Uncle's last name) spelled with pictures of objects in the shape of letters.

It was a long night. Poor Dad just couldn't keep his eyes open.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

The Daycare Christmas Program

Kyla got to play the part of Mary in the Christmas Program. She had a smile of her face the whole time. It was so cute! Here she's getting God's message from the angel (Austin).

Here she is with Joseph (Tony), and baby Jesus.


Here come the shepherds! Lucus, Colton and Gabe were the sheperds. For some reason this was the saddest program ever. Someone started to cry and then they all set in.

Poor Emily is trying to keep it together.

Gabe just couldn't hold it in.

Sophia's really trying to not make a scene (being the "star" of the show and all).

Poor Albi.

Daddy's Home!

Every year Brady goes on a fishing trip before Christmas. Here the kids are stutting their stuff with their new clothes that Brady bought for them. Don't they look tough?



Colton wanted to try on Daddy's helmet.

And of course, Kyla too!

Christmas Cookies!

Here are my excited helpers! Aprons are on, hands are washed, and they're ready to go!

Grandma MariBeth came to join the fun!

One of the kids jobs was to unwrap the Hershey Kisses.



SOMEONE had a hard time just unwrapping.

Guess who?!

Break time!

Grandma and Colton get down with the Christmas music.

Kyla "reads" Colton a story.
Isn't that sweet?!

Happy Birthday Kyla!!

5 Years Old!!

On the day of her birthday we had a birthday cookie. We saved the cake for her party.

Here she is in her birthday outfit. She wanted to wear her Tinkerbell costume. Who am I to argue? Check out the pointed toe!

The Birthday Party.

Apparently, Kyla didn't like her hair curled.

While the rest of the family was watching Kyla open her presents, SOMEONE helped himself to some frosting. I wonder who would do such a thing...

Here's the whole crew. They've all gotten so big!

Noah, Kyla, Evelyn, Colton, and Caden




Kyla got an Easel for her birthday!

I Helpin'!

Colton saw that there was work to do, so he went up to his room to grab his tools.





With hammer in hand, he quickly went to work.

Brady was so patient...

Cuddle Time!

Is there any room for me?

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!






You know you live in the sticks when...



You need a trailor to trick or treat!

It was really nice for the kids since the houses are spread so far apart. It saved their little legs from so much walking.

Here's the whole gang. Let's see we have the Peterson twins puppies - Ashley and Emily, Austin the ninja, Kyla - Cinderella - again, Colton one of the two supermans, Trevor the other one of the two supermans, and Aubrey the adorable bee!

Everyone is bundled up and ready to roll!
