Christmas Morning 2009

Here are some pictures from Christmas morning at our home! They turned out really good, I am glad we got our new camera - it allowed us some super great "Kayden" pictures! Santa sure spoiled our little man and his Mommy & Daddy, too - we are the luckiest family! We love you Kayden - Happy Christmas!


Santa's Job well done.

Christmas Eve at the Loftus'

Christmas Eve night was supper at Eric's parents. All of us kids were able to be there - so that was nice!! Next year its going to be a lot different, we'll go from 2 little ones to FIVE little ones! Here are some pictures from our night!


Reading some stories before supper.


DANCE PARTY


Kenzie was being a ham for me when I had the camera out!!

You talking to me?

I made Uncle Brandon dress up as Santa...Kayden was so freaked out he jumped into my chair and knocked me all the way back! Great, guess we scarred Kayden from Santa. Oops.

Checking out their toys!

Hey Uncle Brandon - get my truck out of here!

Sledding in the basement!

Kayden showing off his new hammer skills!

Christmas Eve at the Lind's

We had a nice Christmas Eve lunch at my Mom & Dad's thanks to the weather. Here are some pictures.


Kayden was just a LITTLE excited when he saw Connor pulling in the driveway!

Connor Man & Big K

Auntie with the little ones!

Playing a little Christmas number on the piano!

Aren't they cute!

Two peas in a pod!

Claire Bear!

Mommy and her little man...look at my dad in the background...none us noticed until a lady at work pointed it out. I showed my mom - she just about wet her pants....its HILARIOUS! lol Don't worry G-pa is okay, just catching some shut eye!


Bear wanted to see Kayden's new Elmo microwave...he wanted NO part in her touching it...

so him and Grandma played with it!

The giant monkey from Auntie and Uncle - it makes us laugh...A LOT!

We got Connor a drum set!! :) He was sooo excited!

Here are the big boys trying it out!

Is that a baby in your tummy or are you just fat?

Here is an updated belly picture...26 weeks and 2 days. I haven't taken pics of my tummy since 20 weeks. I was so on top of it with Kayden...every two weeks! It doesn't help that my "turn over" is on Mondays, a dance night - so I am either exhausted or too lazy to take it!! I promised myself I'll stay on top of it after today! Its so crazy to look back on! I should fine the one of me pregnant w/ Kayden at this point!

Kayden visits Santa 2009

So Kayden LOVED Santa last year...this year he was all pumped to go visit Santa...until Santa decided (when we were the ONLY ONES IN LINE) to make small talk w/ a friend. My boy of "many" patience decided that was enough. Santa decided to be done chit chatting and Kayden threw a holy fit for him. Then Santa felt bad, real bad. In fact kept chasing me around the mall apologizing and asking me to come back. We eventually came back after finishing our shopping and Santa got out bubbles. Lucky for Santa...Kayden loves bubbles. He was pretty gun shy of him, but here are some pics. We did NOT sit on Santa's lap this year. :)


Kayden and Mall Santa 2008


I don't know about this...but he has bubbles...


so he can't be all bad can he?

He's even sharing his bubbles...yep, I think I like him now.

A Visit to the Winter Wonderland

Last weekend we went with some friends to downtown Rochester's Winter Wonderland. It was a bit cold, but a really fun night!! Will be even funner when the kids get older as there was sleigh rides, an outside movie, and many other activities! Here are some pictures that we took. I know - we take a lot of pictures. Happy Holidays!

Kyle - some of these pics are for you! We missed you and wished you could have been there. We made Steve & Eric pose for pics for you!! Enjoy & stay safe, we all love you!
