Christmas Day

 Santa came! Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!

 This has become one of my favorite things to do Christmas morning, we put wrapping paper up so the kids can't see what they got until they all run through together. So fun!

 Can you tell they couldn't stand still???

 I was standing on the other side all prepared but this little one couldn't wait and decided the best thing to do was just crawl right under the paper:)

 I LOVE this!

 Bryden had gone back to the door so he could get a running start but ended up being a little late to the party

 Brilee asked for and got Lea from Santa

 Brennar asked for and got Pokémon throw and pop balls from Santa

 And Bryden asked for and got the wubble bubble ball from Santa

 Bath bombs, she loves them just as much as her mommy does

 Brilee is ready to go to Disney Hawaii!

 So is Spidey!

Another fun Christmas is in the books! Bring on 2017

Christmas Eve

 We had another great Christmas Eve with Clint's family.  Since it fell on a Saturday this year, I invited Liz and the kids to come to church with us since all the guys had to work.  It was really nice to be able to do that together.

My one and only before church

The guys actually got home earlier than I was expecting so we had lots of time to play at Grama Debbi's. 

The 3 oldest Stapp boys

 Brilee is a mamas girl all the way, so its rare to get pictures of her and her daddy together:)

 Brennar showing off his Pokémon toys

 Bryden got Lincoln logs, so fun

 This little guy mostly enjoyed the bags and whatever toy his siblings were playing with:)

Merry Christmas!

Brennar Matthew is 7!

 This sweet boy who made me a mama, turned 7!  We had a special celebration on his actual birthday and went and checked out the Great Wolf Lodge in CO Springs.  It was super fun.  We parked our car Monday morning and didn't get back in it until we left on Wednesday.

Brennar enjoyed the ropes course. Brilee tried it too but only made it for about 5 minutes when she decided it was just too high for her

Both big boys did the climbing wall, Brennar does this a lot in his ninja class, but it was Bryden's first time

 This kid is super strong!

 Can anyone see Bryden???

 For Brennar's friends party we went to the movies.  Some friends were a little too young to see the Star Wars movie, so they got to hang out with me for lunch, manis and then went to see Moana.

 The boys had a blast!

 I tried to get pictures with all the boys, but some kiddos just weren't having it:)

Happy 7th Birthday, Brennar Matthew!! You are such a sweet, kind and smart kid, you have made us so proud to be your parents, we can't wait to see what your future has in store, it will be EPIC!!! We love you to heaven and back!

Snow fun

The kids have had so much fun playing in the snow. I am secretly hoping for a snow day from school tomorrow so they can go out and play more:)

 Going down the stairs on the sleds is their highlight

 One random Christmas picture - this is from our Christmas cookie contest on Christmas Eve, these are all our winners from each shape:)

December Fun

These are all activities we had on our Christmas bucket list

The kids found out they were on the nice list when we went to visit Santa

Our friends, Brittany and David throw a party for all their clients at the ice skating rink, it was so much fun.  All the kids had a blast, they all want to go again soon!  And Bryden did awesome for his first time, much better then me!

Christmas jammies, one of my favorite traditions

This guy sneaks into our bed LOTS of nights when he can't fall asleep:)

Success, no tears!

Our church threw a family Christmas party, it was so much fun, we all loved it. 

Brilee and Bria

My big boys

Disney on Ice always comes right before Christmas and we have started surprising the kids every year, we love everything Disney

The preschool Christmas program, always one of my favorite nights of the year.  This dapper dude did so good!

Brilee had a speaking part, she did great!  And I love how Bryden is smiling in the background:)

These first graders all started at Messiah when they were 3, they are such nice kids

Brilee and her bestie from last year Hailey. Hailey went to kindergarten but her sister is now in Bryden's class so the girls get to see each other at a lot of family activities

Brennar came up with the Christmas craft all on his own

Our gingerbread houses, always a fun night!
