All the cool kids wet their pants, Chris. Looks like Daddy was hiding what he was eating in the bathroom!!! Sneaky Sneaky

 Chris's love for whole milk runs deep

The Murphy's Christmas part was AWESOMEEEEE!!!!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning finally arrived! Sydney ran around like a crazy person. We had to give her a job of sorting the presents out before her head popped off from excitement. 

Addie on her new horse!

Sydney got Chris a remote control boat for them to play with!

Yooooo Gabba Gabba....Addie's obsession!

Santa is silly, look what he left us with the m&m's we had out for him.

Sydney received the laptop she asked for from Santa!!! Was a close call that she was on the naughty list this year, but she made it!

Loving her new karaoke machine

Our traditional Christmas morning breakfast of eggs benedict and cinnamon rolls

Grand master chef

Nothing to see here, just two girls working on their new laptops

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was an action-packed day this year! We spent the entire afternoon doing the luminarias, then we had to get ready for church, next was lighting the luminarias, head out the door for church, eat dinner and then get ready for CHRISTMAS!!!

A day just doesn't start off on the right foot unless you eat pickles

Ready for Christmas Eve church service

Baby girl is getting tired!

Time to put out the cookies and milk for Santa!

We're all ready for Christmas!

Neighborhood Luminarias

We hadn't had the luminarias in our neighborhood in two years, so I reached out to Teresa Hill to see if I could help her organize a neighborhood wide event. We handed out flyers, knocked on doors, it was fun! Finally on Christmas Eve, everyone showed up to help assemble all of the luminarias. It took several hours to make them all and then we set out to lay them around the neighborhood. It definitely was a HUGE undertaking, but the results were worth it!!

Ready to light them all!

McKenna Christmas 2013

We celebrated our Christmas with my family over at my parents house. We opened gifts, enjoyed the weather, ate good food and just had so much fun being together.

Sydders before heading to the party

The kids passed out the presents for everyone. They could hardly contain themselves!

Addie opening her first present

Jay and Bets

Dad opening his new bike pump. This replaces his useless one that he had since 1972. 

Addison had so much fun showing everyone her outfits

Gotta love the half dressed Seamy in the background. He fell in the pool earlier so his clothes were in the dryer. Whooops!

Lala opening presents and wearing the Christmas bracelet Sydney made for her

Dad having fun with the jeans I bought him. He laughed at how gigantic they looked....until he tried them on. This was my attempt to replace the jeans he wears back from when I worked at the GAP in 1992.

Horses!

Chris opening his drill!

Uncle Jay trying to warm up to Addison

This girl loves her horses. She carried him around, combing him over and over
