Branson at Christmas

Drinking hot chocolate


Santa gave each kid a bell.

The north pole, santa's workshop. The elves were throwing presents and doing flips!

Waiting to start

The conductor punching our tickets

The hobo

Holding his ticket

He didnt want to wear his pajamas, so I didnt force the issue. I was afraid he would get cold anyway. It would have been super cute if he had though!

Fake snow

The massive gingerbread houses at the hotel! It took everything in Kohen to not touch them. Notice he is on the inside of the ropes!

Last weekend we went to Branson. Brandon gets invited to a conference every year at this beautiful hotel. Last year we left Kohen with mom and dad and enjoyed some time to ourself but this year we took him and had a blast. We did A LOT in the 3 days we were there but will probably do the same next year. I think Kohen's favorite thing was riding the Polar Express. He loved it, except for the whole Santa thing!

Our Christmas Tree

Cookies With Santa

This is as close as he got!

Was glad to see him go!

mom and Baxley

This is what the guys did during the party!

Kelly had her annual Cookies with Santa party a couple weeks ago. I am just now getting around to updating so better late than never. The party was once again a success. The kids seem to have the best time playing together in their pj's. Kohen is not real crazy about Santa so no picture with him in Santa's lap. When we told him he would have to tell Santa Claus what he wanted for Christmas, he would say, "I dont want anything." He would rather not get one thing than have to talk to Santa!! Oh well, better luck next year!

Wee School Christmas Program

It was the cutest little program, one it which Kohen decided not to participate. He knew every song and all the hand motions but chose to SIT DOWN during the entire program! He will love the video when he gets older!

Christmas Parade

It has been so long since I updated that I am not even going to try to catch up. I will just start from here! We went to the chrismas parade last Thursday. It was a hit! All the kids loved it. For once, it wasnt freezing out!

Lovin Fall

Halloween 2010

Like I said, we tried everything! Brandon will kill me if he knows this is on here!

For months Kohen has been telling me he wanted to be a turtle for Halloween. Therefore, I ordered a turtle costume. I should have known better. The boy has always hated costumes but he was consistently saying, "Turtle!" Day of Halloween, he said he wasnt wearing the turtle costume. We tried everything! Finally, we bribbed him with chocolate to wear it just a few times. He even tried to get Darrin to take it off!
