Better Late Than Never, Right?

It's been a busy last couple of weeks so I haven't gotten around to posting the pictures from Christmas yet. So here goes:

Allie had lots of fun opening presents!

She really enjoyed doing "check-ups" on everyone with the doctor kit that we got her.

Friday after Christmas was very warm for Kansas. When we were out for a walk, Dee Ann commented that it felt like there could be a tornado. Lo and behold, that night we woke up to what sure sounded like a tornado. We all came out of our rooms wondering what was happening and headed downstairs in a hurry! We found out later that it was actually a microburst ahead of the storm front with 80 mph winds.

Trevor's parents had quite a few shingles ripped off of their house and the school next door had it's roof ripped off. Only in Kansas could it thunderstorm one day and snow the next!

On Saturday we went to Trevor's Uncle Dave & Aunt Deb's for a Kraft Christmas get-together. We of course had to get a picture of all the great-grandkids!

Do you know how hard it is to get 7 kids this young to sit in their chairs and take a picture? Here's a little video of the chaos. I think it's almost funnier to listen to the adults' attempts to get the kids to sit still and look at the camera!


All the Kraft grandkids...

It is so nice to get together with Trevor's family since I didn't grow up with that many cousins living near me. Everyone has so much fun together!

For New Year's we went up to Nebraska to hang out with Mom, Dad, Kim, Justin and the girls. We had a great time at the church New Year's Eve party and watching Nebraska win their bowl game!

We gave the girls their Christmas presents too. Somehow the only picture I took of the whole time in Nebraska is of Victoria playing with her tub toy we got her. It's kind of like a Mr. Potato head for the tub- there are lots of pieces to make silly faces that stick to the tile. I even had a lot of fun making faces with her!

Here's Victoria with the face she had me make of her. Do you see a resemblance?

We had a great Christmas and I hope you did too!
