Casey's Dad works for the railroad out of Fremont so he frequently drops in for a day or two between runs. We love having him around, especially Kennedy! This happened to be one of those days, and it was perfect timing. Aunt Erika brought the two youngest boys over (she has FOUR boys!) and Aunt Kristin was in town and hadn't met either of the babies. It was nice catching up with everyone and relaxing.
Aunt Kristin cuddling up with McCoy
Kennedy snuggles up with Grandpa. When he's around she is glued to him!
Little Ryder (two years)...pretty funny to watch him and Kennedy. They totally love each other one minute and are screaming at each other the next!
Yep, it was a fun-filled day at the Cooper Y! Kyndal and Corbin crashed out early in the living room. We can always tell when they've played their hearts out :o) It was so cute to see them somewhat snuggled up together!I headed off to work early Friday morning and snuck in an early workout. It was SOOOO weird not having to round up the troops and do drop off. I love working out in the morning, but it happens very infrequently. Casey chilled at home with all the kids and I worked till 2:00.
When I got home we lounged around awhile longer and then headed out to Christmas Eve service at our church. We've been wanting to drive around and look at lights and just haven't found a good night so we decided to pass on a nice meal at home or a restaurant and ate a quick bite at Arby's! Even though it's our favorite fast food joint we kept saying how weird it felt to be eating there on such a special occasion. But the important thing is we were all together celebrating the birth of our Savior and King!
We loaded back in the suburban and drove around for an hour looking at some beautiful light displays. Some people really go all out.....we even saw a real Santa and Mrs. Claus waving in their yard and had to drive by twice to shout "Merry Christmas!" My favorites are the ones that are coordinated to local radio stations.
When we got home the kids anxiously put out the cookies for Santa, carrots for the reindeer and more lists of more things they wanted :o) It wasn't long before the little ones were all asleep so Santa could catch some shut-eye too!

Santa and the reindeer left only crumbs!
The stockings are full and ready for the early risers!

It looks like you had loads of fun getting ready for Christmas too. Love the picture of your little elf! Congrats to your SIL on Boy #4!
Chase is getting so big! What cute pics.
Can't believe the break is over. It was good to see the kids at the Y a couple days.
We also heald off looking at lights until Christmas Eve. I bet the kids loved seeing Santa and Mrs. Clause.
