Merry Christmas 2011

My mom, sister, and Aunt Connie all came to Oklahoma the day after Christmas! This was my sister and Aunt Connie's first time to visit and it was so great seeing all of them! Here are a few pictures from their visit!

We had such a great Christmas! This was Kamryn's first Christmas and she had so much fun! She was around all of her cousins, (all 10 of them!), and they had a great time being together. As you can imagine, there was a lot of fun, craziness having 11 kiddos under the age of 10 running around the house! We are so thankful that everyone was able to get together this Christmas! We hope that everyone had a very blessed and merry Christmas!

'Tis the Season

This year we went to The Christmas Train in Pryor, Oklahoma. We were told by friends that it was something we had to experience around Christmas time. It was set up like an old west town with lots of Christmas lights and was so pretty to walk around and see everything. They had people dressed up like old time sheriffs and other western "cowfolk," (for lack of a better word). They even had old time food, Danen had cowboy stew that was awesome, and I had the chili which was very yummy! Kamryn got to go on her first carousel ride and loved it, got to see Santa and did GREAT, and at the end of the night we all got to ride on the Christmas train! It was such a neat experience riding on an old steam train, while listening to the story of the life of Christ. It was all put on by a church in Oklahoma, called Church on the Move, and it was definitely something our entire family enjoyed and will go back to again! Here are some pictures from our night.

All bundled up--it was a cold night!!
Kamryn was excited to ride the carousel!
