McKylees Blessing

We had McKylees blessing at the beginning of December. Tysons parents were able to come. My mom made McKylees dress and it was exactly what I wanted. She's so good at looking at the picture and just making it. She's made all my kids blessing outfits.

 This was my contribution to her outfit. I made her a blessing bracelet. I made one for Natalia to.

 I love this picture. My mom hates it but I love it a ton.


 I hate this picture but she deserves to remember me holding her.






 Grandpa actually holding her. We had to get a picture for proof.


 Natalia loves being a big sister



Christmas

I thought I had posted Christmas pictures but I guess I didn't. What can I say, I'm a little sleep deprived. 
 She's not very happy
 Now she's sleeping but isn't the outfit cute
 We used McKylees blessing dress as her Christmas dress and my mom made a matching dress for Natalia


 Natalia opening presents
 I love this picture. Natalia is trying to get McKylee happy again. She loves being a big sister and loves to help.

 Natalia got a rain coat to go with her rain boots. They are must haves here

 Another baby doll
 I know I never have a ton of pictures of Jaden but he doesn't sit still for a couple of seconds to even get one. And when I do they are all blurry.
 McKylee sleeping with her new blanket teddy bear thing. Natalia is always giving it to her to sleep with. That or the lamb Grandma Morgenegg gave her.
 An attempt to get a picture of everyone.
 That baby doll Natalia got. Yes it's black because it had all the cool stuff with it. Natalia loves it and has already used all the diapers for it. (It pees) At first her reaction was very hilarious. She looked at the doll once she unwrapped it and wasn't sure what to think of it.
 Drake trying to open a present or thinking about it. Chad is trying to get his attention with the phone. Baby Drake (as Natalia would say) loves cell phones.

 Chad sporting a nice red bow. He's trying to set a new fashion trend. (Some of these pictures are ones my mom took.)
 Trying to get another group shot. Drake has found a cool box. Natalia is trying to keep him still.
 Beautiful smiles

 Christmas morning


 Getting closer to a group shot
 or not
 Drakes adorable cheesy smile
 oh look they are all sitting. Now if we can just get them to all look at the camera
 Natalia is sick of pictures. I think Drake is to. If you notice in all the group shots Natalia is holding a bike horn. There's a story to this. So when we were at Fred Meyer one day Natalia discovered the beautiful, loud, pink "honker horn". So every time we went to Fred Meyer we had to go honk the honker horn. We got it for her and hid it in the car trunk so she couldn't find it. One day Tyson honked it. What was he thinking? She came running through the house saying "I HEARD A HONKER HORN" She didn't see it though and we somehow convinced her it was something else. You asked her what she was getting or wanting for Christmas she would say a honker horn. Fast forward to Christmas Eve. She is opening the pajamas that my mom made her in a very enthusiastic manner. She opens them up all the way and instantly has disappointment on her face and says, "it's supposed to be a honker horn." Now it's Christmas morning. We honk the honker horn to let her know it's ok to come out of her room. She comes running and smiling because it's a horn honker. Who cares about the awesome pink bike when you've got a honker horn. She still loves it. It's now attached to the bike and get honked the whole time she's riding. Best five bucks i've ever spent.

 Did you know Nathan is one of Santas helpers?



 Drake likes the beard.
