New Years Eve

 I don't have any pictures from New Year's Eve... but I figured I'd still write about what we did. It was the first year in a long time that we were in WA and didn't go to my parents' house. It was also the first year we weren't all together. Doug and I stayed home and played games and watched a movie and the Office. Jackson and Jordan went to their friend, Camden's, house. Kenzie went to the dance (from which she had to be picked up from at midnight), and Coleman slept over at Mikah's house with Blake. It was a weird, but still good, New Year's Eve!

Coleman and Cam

These two had so much fun playing together again after so many months!

 

Cleaning Up

Jackson and Jordan had some friends over the day after Christmas to watch the Seahawks game so Doug wanted the kids to clean up their stuff from the basement. 

Kenzie wanted to bring her stuff up in one trip. :)

 

Christmas!!

We had a fantastic Christmas!

Jackson's presents

Jordan's

Kenzie's

Coleman's

Mine (Doug went a little overboard on my presents... but as he said "Mom's presents are presents for all of us" because I get things like towels and rags :))

Doug's presents

He excited and surprised for this present. It's a device he can plug his echo into and then carry it around.

Jackson is very orderly when opening presents.

Kenzie and Coleman are not.

A teeny tiny Rubik's Cube

So little!

Doug went to Kohl's to return something from Amazon and they gave him a 20% off coupon. So he looked around and found a squishy cheese toy and 2 Diary of Wimpy kid stuffed animals. And then the coupon didn't even work on those items! The kids thought the cheese was funny and enjoyed throwing it around.

Jackson put on both of his new jerseys

There's the Diary of a Wimpy kids stuffed animal.

He got a couple 5lb bags of sour candy.

Kenzie got some socks

She was excited for the present from Coleman and Jackson.

A Josh Allen jersey!

She got new shoes!

These two are a little more tidy

than these two...

Jordan's been into European Soccer lately and his favorite team is Tottenham.

Coleman was so excited and surprised to get Crunch Labs! He was even more excited and surprised when I told him he got a year subscription to it. I was the "Christmas hero!" (the commercials say if you buys these for Christmas you become the Christmas hero:))

Jackson got carriers for his keyboard and guitar.

Kenzie got Coleman a padded seat for his rollie chair, but at first he thought it was a neck pillow.

Jackson and Jordan got Coleman some tennis shoes, but they wrapped them separately. :) Jackson told Coleman he could only afford one, but he'd get him the other one once he saved up enough money.

After the kids were done Doug and I opened presents.

Kenzie's presents!

Jordan got a keyboard because Jackson decided he wanted to take his with him and Jordan needs it for band. He opened up a carrying case, stand, and pedal before he opened the keyboard...

Jackson made me CD of him playing the piano! I was so surprised and I love it so much!

Coleman's presents.

My presents!

Jordan put on his Rubik's Cube croc charm.

The Christmas mess

My mom and her mom. So cute!

Jackson's presents.

Jordan's presents

He also got a computer.

The Crabtrees and my parents came over for a bit after we opened presents. We called Grandma and Grandpa Dance and then we went to my parents' house. We played games, watched sports, ate yummy left overs, and enjoyed each other's company! We love Christmas!
