Merry Christmas! (part 1)

Merry Christmas from the Kennedys!

We hope you had a wonderful day!

We stayed in Kansas again this year, in fact we stayed home the entire day!

We enjoyed family time, some movies, playing with new toys, & cooking!

We have also enjoyed the company of different friends over the past couple of days.

Our friend Caleb and Lincoln got to open a present on the 23rd!

Caleb LOVES cars and trucks! There were lessons in sharing and a little 22mo. old fighting. Amelleah's "My First Christmas" outfit that she wore on Christmas EveYes, this is our Charlie Brown tree. Our other tree had issues, I'll spare you the details, but we had to replace it... so this was it! Santa's workshop... the Kennedy living room!
Lincoln checking out his stocking
Amelleah showing off her "My First Christmas" hat.... thanks Uncle Steve!! This is as formal as it got today. We stayed home all day...

Lincoln & Mommy managed to stay in PJs ALL day!
Amelleah got other "toys" (crib soother, playmat) but this was her stocking!
Lincoln kept going back and sitting with the presents.

He patiently waited while Daddy read the Christmas story before we opened all those presents!

Notice the cat perched above.... probably wondering what was going on.

She stayed there ALL morning!

"Jonathan Park" volume 3!!!!

The kids love to listen to these audio stories that are scientific and Bible based.

Lincoln LOVES his tent/fort... it has a tunnel too

We saved the biggest one for last...

Linc's 1st bike!!

The oh-so-coveted KINDLE!!!!

It was hard to resist when this girl reads SO much... she was really excited!

Contents of Amelleah's stocking...

can you tell she is thrilled??!!

All of the box trash...

in the way...

while we were getting ready to go play outside.
We should think more about recycling... haha!

Andrew's 1st 2wheel scooter... he was a little worried and intimidated at first but

eventually did great and had fun!

Yes, it was cold.

It was snowing, but didn't stick.

Yes, we went outside.
Everyone survived... the entire 15 minutes!

(Linc and Amelleah were napping)

Beautiful Christmas Girl!

This dress was more for a picture only (thanks Grandma Pat)... I can't find tights small enough!
