Christmas Day 2011

We blew into my Mom and Dad's early Christmas morning.
Caroline was very excited!
Can you tell?
Yaya and Bob were pumped too.
Evident by the amount of gifts!
Guess which stocking is for Caroline?
The evidence of Santa being here too!
A house full of happy adults!
Happy to be up so early!
Caroline handed out her gifts to her favorite people first!
Her favorite gift was busy causing trouble...
Chip had to keep Cee Cee under control all morning!
When she wasn't tearing up wrapping paper she was peeing.
Merry Christmas Hahaha
Moving on...
Caroline and her Dorothy doll.
Mom with her portrait of Caroline.
We had it painted by a local artist from a picture that Mom took.
We got Caroline a new gymnastics suit.
Bee thought it was hilarious to tell her to put it on!
Caroline thinks it is awesome.
Until she got her personal crane machine from Rob and Meghan.
Only to be topped by...
Her iPad!
Merry Christmas only 4 days until CEK's birthday!

Christmas Eve

Caroline got to spend Christmas Eve with her cousins... all of them!
I have mentioned before that my Todd and Jess had twins in August.
It made Christmas double special this year!
Ava and Grace aren't identical... I can't tell them apart.
These two were very excited to see each other!
We enjoyed a great dinner that I did nothing to help prepare...
Gari worked hard all week getting ready to feed us!
My two favorite people feeling the holiday spirit!
Caroline started handing out her gifts.
She went shopping this year all by herself at Supper with Santa.
She was so proud of her gifts.
Chip was successful at telling the girls apart all weekend.
He was quite smitten with both girls!
After dinner the kids tracked Santa on the internet.
Good thing they didn't really get it because according to the tracker Santa was in Africa...
We had him scheduled to arrive about 30 minutes later.
They sang happy birthday to Jesus and then headed off to take a bath!
Santa came while they were in the tub!
They were pretty excited.
Caroline was actually patient enough to wait for Nolan.
A Christmas Miracle.
Then it was present time!
The girls were there, but I somehow managed not to get a picture of them.
Nolan was so precious in his Christmas jammies.
Santa brought Caroline a Barbie house.
Nana and Poppy provided everything else Barbie!
But I think she liked the house.
This is her actually hugging the box!
After all the presents were open the kids broke into the Doggie Doo game.
If you haven't seen the commercial find it on YouTube... It is ridiculous!
The kids wrapped up Christmas Eve with a few Christmas carols!
Fa La La La La La La La La

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

After Caroline gave an outstanding performance as a sheep in the HCCPS Christmas play, she took off with her biggest fans for Indiana.
She spent a few days being spoiled by the grandparents until the "no fun police" arrived.
Here we are... the "no fun police"
We were very excited to see her. She was excited to see us until we started parenting her HA!
She actually said that she "wished she didn't even know us"
(She didn't mean it, we wouldn't let her stay with Nolan at Nana's house)
Besides a few ugly words we had a wonderful holiday with our families!
Betsy gave Caroline an early Christmas gift.
CEK loves to "teach" and so Aunt Bee provided her with a mini school.
and she "schooled" everyone all day!
What can you teach my 16 year old twin cousins?
Nothing they know everything... they are 16 Duh
Caroline was glad to see Cee Cee, just not glad to have her picture taken.
She was LOVING her some John.
When I was 16 and this boy was 2 everyone thought he was mine :)
Funny when I actually have a child she looks just like this guy!
These two goofs were really feeling the holiday spirit!
My brother is morphing into my father as much as I am morphing into Jane!
My Aunt Cindi played so much with Caroline that Caroline actually went for 2 hours without harassing me....
Then she moved back to the twins!
Caroline spent time in everyone's lap over the holiday!
Yaya got everyone a holiday cracker.
(That is a british thing... they have little toys in them. Mom is so obsessed with the royal family she is now bringing their holiday traditions to the Hunts)
Here Caroline is cracking her cracker!
Each cracker also contained a crown!
Caroline had to see what color everyone's crown was.... cause if your color was better she was going to take it.
Apparently Bee didn't have the best color.
This picture cracked me up...
Chip was chewing!
Then my mother did what she does best.
Demand everyone pose for a picture.
Then she called the neighbor to come take this picture.
Memories...
The Hunt Holiday are never boring!

School Birthday!

Caroline had her birthday at school and she was SUPER pumped!

I didn't realize what a big deal it was to have your birthday at HCCP!
They serenade you....
You get a balloon...
You get to pick your friends to be the candles on your
birthday cake...
You get to pick a present...
You lead the blessing...
Provide the snack...
And party with your pals!
Happy birthday month my sweet girl!
