More Christmas Fun!

Hi Everyone and Merry Christmas, 
Tons of fun was had this holiday season and tons of photos were taken, it was tough to know where to begin, so below is a pretty random mish-mashed tour of the season.  
DMac 

Here is the Mac Pack, all cleaned up and ready to go.  
(Lilly - 3, Mommy - 22, Daddy - ?, K - 1)

Lilly gets ready for her big Christmas sing.  
She actually had two, one for school and one for church.  
She was super excited for both and may be singing carols for months to come.

Here is a pic of Lilly's first sing along.  I'll probably add a video later at some point.  The usual holiday staples were explored, including Jingle Bells, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, etc.  
For Church, her money song was "Away in a Manger".

Lilly has made some great friends this year.  
And of course, friends have to make candy Christmas Trees.  

Meanwhile, at another party, Kenneth hangs with some young chicks,  

while Lilly and the Big kids watch classic christmas toons in Will and Anna's cozy pad.  

However, Mr. K is a sucker for his Mommy and went back to his main squeeze.

Before feeding the reindeer, Mimi and Bubba take a snapshot K & L.  

Kenneth was much happier before Lilly stole his stuff.  Lilly is equally smiley.  

The kiddos were quite good this year, so Christmas day included presents!  
However, we did lose our daughter for a wee bit.  
Can you help us find her? 

Despite Kenneth's gift of flexibility, his gifts centered around transit.  
Cars, trucks, trains, helicopters… and maybe a plane.
Next year may need to be a Chuck Norris theme?     

All Tessa wanted for Christmas was a great big hug and she got it. 
Our hound celebrates her 14th Christmas!  That's 98 Christmas's in dog years.

Lil Mac, Big Mac, and Bozo Mac.
Mama Mac is missing from this years holiday pics.  
Coming down with a bad case of the flu, her status was listed as 
doubtful and her fantasy owners were crushed when she could make the start.
Suitable replacement Grammy's are hard to find on short notice.  

Thank you Jean for hosting such a fun party!
Here Jean and her Mini Me's look dashing in their Christmas garb.  

Years of practice on display.  
Right handed or left handed… it does not matter.
These bros are ready for Christmas day.

 The cousins had a super fun time at Christmas...

at Mary Poppins, The Globetrotters...

playing house with Alexander...

and creating their own jam band.  


But eventually it was time to pack it in for Christmas day.  

"Aww man, I was just getting warmed up!" 

The next stop on the Christmas train was Bubba and Mimi's house.

The boys worked on making a mess. 

Ashley and the girls corralled Bubba into a tidy game of dominos.

Then the two little chicks decided to clean our boy mess and make a ginormous tower.

The happy girls loved playing together.  

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
Now let's get ready for the new year!

Dance Dance Dance - Lilly's Recital

Lilly and Mommy are super excited for the big show.  Lilly has been practicing for months, one twirl at a time.  


Daddy and Lilly celebrate her big dance afterwards.  


"I nailed it.  Yes!"

One of Lilly's biggest fans shows up to watch the performance.

Kenneth and Gram chill out before the big show.

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!

Happy Birthday Mommy!


In the above video(available at the blog), the kids serenade Mommy fish!

Mommy parties always bring smiles.  

Without a cake, is it really a party?  In the below video candles, cake and singing are in full effect to eliminate any doubt.



Lilly decorated the cake with a nice M, several doses of sprinkles, 
and some strategic candle placement for best lighting.

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas.  Lil n K both loved getting to hang with Santa.
Lilly was a little more smiley, while Kenneth was more reserved, yet civil.

While we waited to see Santa, Lilly took a turn riding a reindeer on the merry go round.


Zoo lights rule!  Mommy star strolls w the kiddos.

Daddy freezes for a picture with the lions.

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!

Piano Lesson #1

In the video below, Lilly learns how to jam with Mommy!

What's Next?

Christmas is next and the kiddos could not be more excited!
Here Elf #1 posed next to her stockings.

The kids both sport their new seasonal jammies, compliments of their Ambassador of Cozy (Mom).


So while L flashes her smile, K continues to 
reorganize the ornaments.  And by reorganize, I mean take them off and put 
them anywhere but on the tree.  

Hope you have your Christmas jammies out and that you are on the nice list!!
Have a great Christmas and Holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! 
We are thankful for all the hands that made such a great meal!

We are thankful for our Moms!

We are thankful Uncle Dan has a sense of humor.
(note Alexander also thinks this is pretty hysterical)

We're thankful for cool cousins to play with!

Auntie Jean Jean snuggles with Baby Olivia. 

LeRoy, Andrew hang with Alexander and Olivia.

 Kenny photo bombs Carol and Howard!  No picture is safe.  

The band man.  We gotta get the band back together man!

 Once the feast was devoured, the family turned to the parade.  Here the participants flash their smiles!

LeRoy and Alexandersauraus.  

Don't forget to floss you turkeys!
