This thing is a wonderful family night and it is interactive.

Two more days of 2009

Not much going on today. The crazy babies have been on PS2 and Wii non stop since Christmas. Life is great. Charles and I will celebrate our 11th anniversary on Dec. 31st. I think we will stay home and have a Wii party with the kids. The downside of an anniversary on New Years Eve is you really REALLY don't want to go out with the crazy drivers. On the upside. 11 years has been amazing.

December

Well, life has been crazy at the Pendleton zoo. December started off with a holiday party for the ladies at my house. I was so excited to have mommy time with my awesome friends. We laughed and had a good old time.

The next event was the winner of the pasta sale got to ride on the PTA float. We had one from each grade level.

Holiday parties here we come. Kaden has Mrs. Ellis lots of fun stuff in her class. Ryan has Mrs. Findley for 1st grade (much more serious subdued class).

Ryan and Kaden were so cute sitting here with me I have to take some photos. They so wanted Christmas to hurry and get here.

The boys with Chili and Socks.

My dad the big kid with the boys.

They are so crazy, but they are my babies.

We got to have my grandaughters for church on Sunday before Christmas. Here are some photos I got to take of them before church.

Kaden the ham. Isn't he handsome.

Aren't they beautiful?

I love them so much.

Christmas afternoon at my mom's house. Usually I cook and my mom comes to my house. Two years ago things changed and both my parents started to come over even with them being divorced. I just wanted the boys to experience the large family Christmas gatherings like I did when I was a child.  Christmas Eve was always my dad's parents Christmas dinner with all of us and Christmas day my mom's family all got together. My Aunt Marie made all the girls matching dresses and we all enjoyed being together. Well, my boys have not had that until I finally asked for it. Well, this year they surely got it. We had Christmas at my mom's house in the afternoon with my aunts, uncle, mom, dad, sister, niece, nephew, my cousin, and us. It was so much fun.

My sister Janie

my cousin Iva made these awesome bowls for us for Christmas

We each got a different color with our names on them. I would have never thought of this, but what an awesome gift.

So, that is our crazy busy December. We had a great Christmas and my boys have been walking around saying that it is not Christmas, but CHRISTmas and not to forget Jesus is the reason for the season. Many thanks to Sara Calhoun for all the hardwork she puts into kids klub at Highland Baptist. My children can hear it from me all day, but the reinforcements from our church family seals the deal for the boys.

Getting caught up.

So I totally have been off the chart busy and forgot about the blog thing. Here are some pics of life in the fast lane of the Pendleton clan.

Kaden and Jordan at Jordan's birthday party.

For those that do not know Kaden says Jordan is his girlfriend. They have become great friends and it has led to a great friendship with her parents.

I could just love em and hug em and squeeze em they are so cute. Like to little dolls.

A day with the grandaughter Shay for her birthday. We went to watch the Blue Angels.

Well leave it to Ryan. I thought this would be our potrait for the year, but he had other plans.

How can you not love her? She is so sweet. Especially when she is smiling and saying Ganny.

Ryan, Kaden, our grandaughters, Arianna and Shay and their dad, brothers, sister, and Chrissy (the only mother they know).

We are blessed to have them in our family.

So, it has been crazy but wonderful. I will try to keep up a little better than this.

Love you all.
