The Five Christmas's

The Christmas season started off when Abbie and DiDi sent the kids gifts in the mail on Wednesday. I went ahead and let them open them early. Thursday morning we drove to Bartlesville right after eating the last piece of chocolate from the chocolate calendar! When leaving, we got pelted with frozen rain drops. Made it there right before the blizzard came. Tradition of making some cookies for Santa...

Sang Christmas songs... Opened up one Christmas eve present...and then watched Christmas Vacation of course! I forgot our stockings/stocking stuffers and even some of the presents but thanks to my family, the kids had stockings with some stuff in it... Family picture time. Mom and the three sisters...

Making chocolate Christmas suckersSaturday we went to Kansas to see my mom's side of the family. Aren't we so fashionable! Some of the family couldn't make it due to the snow but here we all are in our ugly sweaters!Wes won the ugliest. Here is his excited party face...Back at home ready to enjoy the finished product. Too bad the chocolate tasted like nasty wax! The kids didn't even like them but it was fun to make...Enjoying the snow. We went sledding but all those pictures were on my sis's camera :( Next was Broken Arrow to see the kids' Great Grandma/Grandpa Bean Our last Christmas was Friday Jan 1st with Meemaw Aaron Amy and Austen.Lovely Rice Krispy treat houses!

So sad the holidays are over. The kids got awesome gifts this year and it was nice seeing all our family!

Oh the fun times of Christmas Break

It's been a nice break. I've missed seeing Avery at home. We have watched several movies with different friends... Horton Hears a Who, Toy Story, Charlie Brown Christmas, Kungfu Panda, Bolt, and maybe more? Today we watched HSM 2 in which Avery came crying to me saying “This movie is so sad. Gabriella left without Troy. She just got in her car and went away…” I forced myself not to laugh at her and just told her to hurry and go see if she comes back...Seriously? Crying during HSM!!!???

We have also been drawing a lot. Here is Santa carrying a bag of toys...Zane just likes drawing plain ole people with weird hair!
I was suprised when he decided to change it up a little and draw me when he was inside my tummy...

Bordem causes me to do crazy things. Zane's hair was getting a little out of control...but I didn't want to get it totally chopped off. It's cold right now and I was kinda getting attached to his hair. I also wasn't ready for him to look two years older with a short hair cut. So this is the crazy cut I gave him... Now that Christmas is over, we have several new toys we are playing with all day long. I'm not ready for school to start back up yet.....

Tur Christmas Card

Thank you to everyone that sent us a Christmas card- they are covering our fridge and look great! Sadly, we did not get around to making Christmas cards this year, so here it is... Here is the whole Bean Family picture. Little cold, lotta wind.

Hopefully next year we will actually send out cards. Merry White Christmas!!

Not ready for the cold...

The weather lately has been amazing.With no school, we made a trip to the library for story time and then watched Toy Story. It's weird having Avery around these days. I love it.
We had another busy weekend. We went to Downtown in December on Sunday and I got hot in my jacket. We rode on the trolly and was going to ride the Cruise along the Ok river but we heard the wait was 2 hours + so we decided not to.We met Meemaw there and they rode in a carriage and thought that was pretty neat.We then enjoyed a free boat ride along the bricktown river.

Saturday we ate at mamasitas and then went to look at Chesapeake's lights. We bought a $25 gift certificate off restaurants.com for only $2. The food was great. We were stuffed and had leftovers that fed us for 2 days! It ended up being only $20 (tip included along with the $2 we paid for the gift certificate). Highly recommend!

I just might cry...

I wanted to make a cute family picture with all our kids wearing matching outfits for Christmas. I even made Henry one and he looked so cute... He has worn clothes several times and will wiggle out of them but never has he done this...Avery actually did cry this morning. Probably because she sensed I was about to.

Dear Santa...

I finally got around to asking the kids what they want for Christmas. Here is what they came up with. They aren't really into asking for a bunch of stuff. Probably because they don't get a bunch of stuff! I had to probe them several times...do you want...What about...?? They would either say yes or no! Sometimes they'd even be like Oh yea yea yea!

A- "Dear Santa, may I please have a DS (we then talked about how leapster's were just like DS's but cooler!) but Elijah has a DS. (yea but he thought your leapster was cooler!) Really!? OK I want more leapster games (woohoo. I'm so good!) I want make-up, bendaroos, laptop, Fancy Nancy books, (probing with a purpose!) my own tag that Zane doesn't play with, Sharpay and Gabriella barbies, Diamond Castle barbies. I want all of my family to have all of their stuff for Christmas (Santa can't get everything on the list but it's ok. We don't need it all anyway. We make a big list and he chooses what to get you! She seemed OK about that!) I want more jewelry. I want my family to have the best Christmas. (probing with a purpose again) Clothes for my doll and bear, Hannah Montana and HSM movies, Jonas Brother's Rock Band CD, microphone, lip gloss, pretty socks, Hannah Montana Shirt. *In the middle of this list she said...I want a boyfriend. Wait I don't want a boyfriend. Why did I just say that? Dont write that down. It looks like you are about to write that down...

Z- Dear Santa please let me have cars socks like Cadon has and please let me have a candy airplane and pillow pet. I want a pretend taco, (probing was needed...) Gum!! Cars, thomas the train, a pretend Henry doggy (and again...), a cool cars cup. Wait a Spiderman cup! More thomas the train tracks, bubble bath, a pretend window and pretend gingerbreadman but real cookies and real ice cream! Chocolate brownie icecream. I mean Strawberry ice cream. Thats all!

*Suprisingly not on this list were snuggie for kids and Jonas Brothers Doll! Good thing because I did not find a Jonas Brother doll!?
