We had a fun and busy Christmas Season, It seemed like I had all these great ideas in the beginning of December and ending up not getting to most of them, I guess there is always next year.
On Christmas Eve we finally got to build the Gingerbread house,
The kids had a fun time decorating( Karden) and eating the candy (Whitley). It actually resembled a gingerbread house when we were finished. You gotta love the prepackaged kits~
Christmas Eve came and after feeding the reindeer, putting the Santa key on the door and leaving cookies and a Pepsi for Santa. The kids went to bed and after a few times of getting out of bed just to see if Santa came yet, finally fell asleep! Once again I had to MAKE Ryan wait until 6:30 to wake the kids up. But when everyone was up we realized that Santa found our house. WOW did he ever!!
Whitley got her Dollhouse, and babies and lots of other stuff.
Karden got a racetrack and starwars guys and Santa left the family a WII!!
Karden has been in heaven! I think Ryan may think he is in HELL, because he hasn't played anything but Lego Starwars! But I have come to love the Wii for a simple thing that karden had to earn time to play the Wii, Karden has played it everyday but after making his bed, getting dressed and eating all his breakfast, without whining! He also has to be nice to Whitley and If he whines the wii is grounded!! LOVE IT!! It has made Christmas Vacation much more enjoyable especially since all his little friends have been sick~
After our house it was off to Grandma Mollys. Were the kids were spoiled yet again!

There is not a Devenish Christmas without something weird! This year Jon made Paul Bacon Flavored Vodka!! Yes he drank it and liked it and no he isn't dead...Yet!
On sunday it was Christmas at my moms house! It was fun spending time with the family and getting More presents!! And yet what did the kids all play in...
The Boxes!!
I give up!!
The kids loved riding in the sled with Grandpa Norman.
If we get any more kids we will need to think of what to do for next year, there is no room in the sled!
Whitley of course thought she was the little mommy to baby Bryce-
This is also one of my favorite pictures, If you would of asked me in June if I would see my grandma with all the kids again and doing so good I would of called you a liar! She even walked down the stairs at my moms house! We are VERY Blessed!
New years eve came and it was off to party like it was 2009..well as much as you can party with 5 kids under 5. We spent the night with good fun, fun games and great people! We had a little jam fest with Rock Band,
and played a little Wii Price is right.About 10:30 pm we all started to drag a little bit, we decided we are too old to stay up until midnight! We of course did what everyone else does we grabbed a cold one... of pepsi, and the boys started to play the new Wii Mario Brothers. We realized we had missed the new year when someone realized it at 12:10 pm. The only new years kiss I got was from this cutie patootie my nephew Josh
The boys kept playing and the girls just kept laughing at more and more random stuff. (Can you imagine if we were drinking!)
and before we realized the clock said this...
We had a great night and I will never think of Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood the same way again. Thanks to these two!
We had a great Christmas season, it has been fun but I am ready for routine again. Thanks to all our great family and friends, we love you all. Bring on 2010!!
