Santa Pictures have finally come

KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS

So tonight we went to Justin's work to go get pictures taken with santa. And of course the girls are so excited Macklin has no idea what is going on he is just going with the flow and Kennar is undecided. We get there and the girls are still excited Macklin is still good and Kennar is getting very nervous we get our family picture taken first and everyone is very happy. Then they do singles the girls go first and that is a success then Macklin is next and he is not to happy he didn't think it was to much fun anymore then comes Kennar and I (Lauretta) have to run after him and bring him back to sit on Santa's lap he MADE it with SMILES and everything afterwards santa tell's Kennar what a good boy he was and asked if he wanted candycanes see the whole time we were taking pictures Kennar was eyeing the candycanes. So santa grabs some and give's one to Kennar then start's to give him more to take to his sisters, well Kennar tells santa to put the candycane's away that he was going to give to leilani and Brynley and tell's not ask's santa to open his candycane. After Kennar get's what he wants he say's thank you santa and you have a very merry christmas.... What a Hoot after we left santa we tried to brave the cold and went across the street to look at the lights that lasted about 20 min's before I was to cold and we came home... We will post pictures once we get them from santa...

When Grandma C comes to visit.

The kids always look forward to when Grandma and Grandpa C come to visit. This time they kids had no idea that grandma C was coming and Justin and I were so very excited it was like we were little kids again couldn't wait for grandma to come as well to see the looks on our kids faces. On thursday after i got off work i couldn't wait to go and get the boy's from my mom's house to go and get grandma from the airport. The girls in school it was just me and the boys. The whole way to the airport Kennar kept on asking mom where are we going? I told him we were going to go and get a surprise we get to the airport and wait for grandma to call and let me know she is ready for me to pick her up while waiting Kennar again ask's mom is the surprise almost ready i tell him yes and he ask's if he can hold the surprise i tell him of course. So then grandma calls and we go and pick her up and of course the boys are so excited they don't know what to say or think. Well we have a wonderful drive home get there we eat and then grandma being the fun person she is takes the boy's out to go and play while we wait for the girls to get out of school and of course Kennar run's grandma everywhere out there on the lawn. The time comes and we walk to to and get the girls. Grandma and Kennar hide behind the tree and i just wait for the girls to come they of course come running cause they had no idea i would come and get them from school and when they see grandma behind the tree they go crazy Brynley of course runs and gives grandma a big hug and Leilani say's she is going to faint and falls to the ground get's up and gives grandma a hug and says she fainted because she hasn't seen grandma in such a long time. Kennar is of course very attached to grandma the whole time she was at our house and when grandma takes the girls out on a girls night out kennar sits at the window the whole time asking when grandma would be back and that he misses her and he just loves her. The girls get back from a girls night out and all we hear about it for the rest of the night and the rest of the time is how much fun they had with grandma on girls night out they are still talking about it and Kennar is still looking out the window asking when is grandma going to be back... Thank you grandma for coming to our house and making it such a fun and great weekend for us and the kids and yes they loved it that you came to their games on saturday as well. THank you for everything....We also look forward to your next visit as well for grandpa to come as well those are always fun times as well. Thank you grandpa for the bear you got for Kennar he loves it.
