Great Christmas

We hope that you had a blessed Christmas like we did. Everything went very well and we had a lot of people who traveled safely. Mom and Dad got here Friday. Grandma Roberts and Stacy came on Saturday and we had 13 or so people here for lunch on Monday. We had a great time and so did the kids.

Santa called them on christmas Eve and they were very excited to talk to him. They had called the 800 # and were mad that they couldn't talk back to him. When they got up Christmas morning, they found a footprint in the fireplace and some crumbs on a plate. There was a letter for Evan. They loved their presents, the favorites were Evan's Mavericks jersey and the twins was a light saber and now they can hit each other.

Abbie and Drew are spending two days with Grandma Rosemary and Grandpa Mark. They went home with them yesterday and we are going to get them tonight and also will get to see their new place.

Evan is going to go with Granma Dolly and Grandpa Gorday from Thursday until Saturday.

Next week I will start with my two new kids and I can't wait. Tomorrow we are having a test run with Maddy, the baby, for 3 hours. Friday, Trenton is coming over to play and meet the kids. He is in Kindergarten and will come home on the bus with Evan.

Have a great week and Happy New Year!!!!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!
I thought that I would try and get a new posting on here before the caziness really starts! I was out and about a few times and there are soooooo many people everywhere! I only had a few things to get and I was able to get finished and even get a few things wrapped!

We are expecting a lot of people here for the Holidays and are very excited that they can all come and we can be together. Stacy is picking up Grandma Roberts on Saturday. Mom and Dad are coming on Friday. Sunday, Ken's Dad and his wife Dolly are coming. And Monday, Ken's Mom and her husband, Mark are coming. We are going to have a big meal together on Monday before Mom and Dad head out to get Grandma back home.

The kids can't wait for Santa to come. There is a 1-800 # that they have been calling all week and they can listen to a prerecorded message from Santa.

Also big news, mycousins baby, Jaden, has made it through his second heart surgery and may get to go home today. He has been such a tough little guy! We are so happy for all of them and that they will be at home for the Holidays!

Love,
Krista

Somehow I got 2 of Abbie and none of Drew! Here he is, skating all on his own!




Time is Flying!

We have been busy busy, busy! The house has been alittle crasy this last week. The kids had a flu bug and Evan got the worst of it. Then when that was done, they got croup(sp?)

We had a running around kind of week-end but we were able to get so many things done. Ken got the fence in the front all finished and I was able to get up lights on the house. Aunt Stacy was here and watched the kids so we could get our Christmas chopping done and after 9 hours, we are almost done.

Mom and Dad are going to come up here at Christmas and we are excited that they can make the trip. They will be staying with us and then Gordy and Dolly ( Ken's Dad and his wife), will be staying at a hotel on Christmas Eve. Then Ken's Mom, Rosemary, and her husband, Mark will come down Christmas day and stay that night. They are going to brave the twins at their place for a few days and they will all have a great time. They just moved to anew plave in Minneapolis and I am sure the kids will love being with them for a few days. That also gives Evan and Mommy and Owen some time to enjoy! It will be fun to just have two kids. We skipped that!!!

Daycare is good and I have calls and hopefully a few more interviews and then I will start up in January with new kids. A few have fallen through and that is OK. I have a hard wimt with people that make and appointment and can't call to cancel or just don't show up! I want to be able to depend on the families as they can depend on me! I am getting all of the paperwork organized and my monthly plans made up. I am going to make my owen menus so that will cut out the paperwork a lot!

Please say a prayer for my cousin Stephanie and her family. Their little baby Jaden is having heart surgery today and so far all is going well but a few extra prayers never hurt! They have made it through one surgery and a few bumps in the road but are showing that they are a very strong and awesome family!

I am going to get some pictures from the lst couple of weeks!
Take care!
