Christmas 2014

Christmas with kids is just so fun and magical. Kingsley had been asking all month when Santa would come and was so excited for the morning of. Earl & Sandy came over to watch them open presents too. Hudson didn't really understand the concept but was pretty excited about the candy and treats.  Both boys were the most excited about the horse stable we got them. They also enjoyed the pug clothes & books.

After we opened presents we headed over to my moms to watch them open presents and eat breakfast. It was so perfect that it snowed for the first time in December because it just didn't feel like Christmas without snow.

I was feeling fairly sick most of the day since we had all passed along the flu :( We went over to the Kemp's for Sandy's traditional Christmas meal of Ham, funeral potatoes, peas, rolls and layered jello. It was delicious as usual!

The boys were very excited to receive shopping carts and Frozen Barbies.
Kingsley kept asking for a while when Santa was coming again ;)

Photo's with Santa

I had seen some sweet fotofly photos of Santa and decided to take the boys. It was a DISASTER!! It was supposed to be just a 30 min session that turned into a 2 hour mess! The boys both cried and would not sit still. Something that was supposed to be simple and easy turned into a nightmare. I switched into the Santa suit after the boys calmed down and we managed to get these couple of shots.

Oh the joys of Christmas!

These photos are way back from when everyone was around for Christmas. My mom got all the grandkids matching monster jammies for christmas and so we tried to get a picture of them all. Pretty hilarious.

Can't believe there is only a 3 month gap between each of them, Kingsley being the oldest. They all really love the iPad. So funny babies and technology these days ;)

Love Hudson's face in this one.

This is probably the best photo we got before they all started to melt down.

Then come the tears and screaming.. ha

Gonna be a crazy bunch with all these little dudes :)

Christmas 2013

Christmas day was a busy one! I was so excited to see Kingsley's reaction Christmas morning. At first he just started to play with his old nativity set.

He was also pretty confused why Grandma & Grandpa were there.

Kingsley is not a morning person, and I think he was feeling a little nervous from all the attention so he was a little whinny & timid at first.

Luckily he warmed up and really loved everything he got. He really liked the bike I gave him, unfortunately it was too big so his feet couldn't touch the ground, but he liked having Jer push him around.

I just love his face in these.

His main gifts were the bike, a teepee, and these awesome chairs Earl & Sandy gave to both the boys.

Getting a picture of both these two looking at me is pretty much impossible. I ended up making their Christmas Jammies this year and loved how they turned out. Although Hudson has already grown out of his already!

Jer got the boys some Bears stuff of course.

King loved sitting in his chair and going thru his stocking. It was a little overload for him as he wanted to play with each and every single thing.

I gave Jeremy new dress shoes, workout clothes, and some instagram magnets. I received my college diploma framed, and gift cards for a massage, to get my hair done, and to buy house decor. After we visited my parents house we headed over to the Kemps to open gifts and eat lunch. I got all my spectacular clothes and Jer got a new coat and we surprised him with the new Xbox one we had convinced him was sold out. He was pretty stoked.

How cute are these stockings Sandy makes for each kid?

Obviously Hudson loves his.

Kingsley no longer cooperates when it comes to picture taking..

After a delicious Ham, funeral potatoes, peas, rolls, and layered jello we came home to put the boys down for naps. I rested & got ready while Jer got his xbox set up.

That evening we headed to my moms for dinner and to play games. We played a bidding bean game and I ended up with some yoga pants, gatoraide, snowman kit, and game. Jer and Meg basically won everything because apparently all us Potters hoard our money :)

It was such a fun busy day, I can't wait until next year!
