Yes, This is December 31st

And we're loving every minute of it.

Mama, Daddy & the littles. . .

. . . go to The Money Museum & Liberty Memorial.




We'd been before, but it was Jeff's first visit. He thought seeing 40 million dollars was pretty cool. The vault (the Money Museum is part of the KC Federal Reserve bank) is really neat too. You can't take pictures of it though - foils my plan for a grand heist.





After the museum we went across the street to the Liberty Memorial. It was an overcast, cool, beautiful day.










We ran lots of races.






Smooched a bit.



And had a lot of fun just being together in KC.

Christmas 2011

All was merry and bright.



Santa came!



He filled our stockings, all were coal free.



Don't be fooled, there are about 1 million presents under the tree, the blue ones are from Santa.



Everybody got exactly what they wanted, and then some.



Capri got her MP3 player, Oz got his truck.



Sable got her dishes, Rome got a rockin' archery set.



I got all the books I wanted, they are so pretty on the shelf I got for my birthday (that's a missed post still to come). I also got 11 backscratch coupons from Capri, I was only a LITTLE excited as you can tell.



Jeff got the "cereal shopping spree" that he asked for. This is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. He gets to hit Walmart and get whatever cereal his heart desires.



These mittens and animals are from Gramma and Papa. The littles also scored other individual gifts, their first painting, and a 2 day trip to Disneyland and California Adventure! Thanks Gramma and Papa!!



It goes without saying that there were a lot of presents given and not pictured. We all got great stuff that we loved.







After church I got some pics of the littles in their Christmas clothes. Can you believe the weather?



Gorgeous!





Oz was asleep when we got home from church, so after he woke up I snagged some pics of him still in his Christmas clothes.

Merry Christmas!
Many luvs, hugs and kisses to all!

Waiting for Santa

We spent the vast majority of today celebrating with Jeff's side of the family (and missing mine of course). There was a TON of food, we played a huge game of white elephant, and opened endless gifts. Best of all, every family member was in attendance.





Now, the cookies, carrots and milk are set out. The littles are asleep. We're all set for the big guy to come!

Merry Christmas!
