Christmas 2011-Part 1

Wow, what a Christmas!!  We knew this was going to be a great Christmas with Miss Kendalyn and it certainly was.  Her excitement was unbelievable.  When she says, Ho Ho Ho or wakes up and says "Elf" (Kendalyn received an Elf on the Shelf for St. Nicholas Day-a post to come)  It all just makes your heart melt. 

We are truly blessed in many ways this holiday season.  And never forgetting the true meaning of CHRISTmas.


We began our celebration on December 23rd with My Cowboy's family.

 Kendalyn received lots of love from Pawpaw.

 Even Cousin Allen enjoyed the fun with Kendalyn.

 Kendalyn said Ooooooo throughout the holiday season.  She said Ooooo on her new horse.

She said Ooooooo when she saw Pawpaw's hoot owl for the barn.

 None of the gifts would have been opened if it wasn't for our very own toymaker.  Allen put all of Kendalyn's toys together for her.  I guess that's what happens when you're the oldest cousin.  You spend your Christmas putting all the toys together for the others.  If you recall Kendalyn is the 10th grandchild on Cowboy's side.

 But when the toymaker is busy making toys....playing in a box will do.... especially when momma isn't looking.

 Kendalyn received a kitchen.  She was very excited.

 She did get the hang of opening up gifts.

 She received some sharp cowgirl duds.

 And daddy even had to show off his new King of the Kitchen apron. 

 Kendalyn got a new baby.  She loves her babies.

 But a stinky cowboy hat is always fun.  Love her face.

 Silly cousins.

 And happy siblings. 

Oh and by the way.....I was there too  : )

Why does the person behind the camera never get in any of the pictures?  HA!!!  I saw where someone put the self timer on the camera to take pictures every few minutes.  Guess who is doing that next year??!!!  What a great idea!

Stay tuned for Christmas 2011-Part 2 and Part 3...whew!!!  Kendalyn and I have a very special trip planned this week to Aggieland....momma is excited.
