Christmas Part 1

So to start off our week of Christmas fun with family we did Grahmcraker houses with Whitney, Teagan, and Paige. This is Kenna creation. The suckers were trees and she made little bushes with the jelly beans. It was completely eaten by the end of the day. We also made some cookies at Grandma Murray's house. Whitney came with us, because her and Kenna could not be separated for the first week. When we finally did separate them it was traumatic for both parities. Even though the cookies didn't turn out, the picture made it look so easy, the kids had fun making them. They had no idea that the cookies we gave them later were not the ones we had tried to make. At Grandma's house you can basically have what you want. Even if it is banana cream pie for breakfast, fudge for lunch. You name it, it has been given. Even Little Bryn had learned the power of a smile given to Grandma or Grandpa. Grandpa arranged for Santa to come by their house on the 22nd. It was so cute the girls were eating dinner and jumped and ran when the door opened and they heard him. He had brought a box of candy canes and helped them put them on the tree. He stayed for about 20 minutes talking to them and playing with them. It sure made their day. It has been snowing like crazy! Kenna is calling it "real snow" not sure what she means by that. She has spent tones of time out in the yard playing with the snow. She made tons of snow angels (they sort of resembled a snow blob). In her new Christmas pajamas. We let her open this gift after she made cookies for Santa and mixed up some sprite and eggnog for him. She has told everyone that Santa came and ate the cookies and drank the eggnog, that is proof enough to her that he is real!
