Christmas

My favorite Christmas present this year was having my parents come and spend Christmas with us in Florida:

Their Christmas present to us was to add an extension to the kids tree house.  My dad and Anthony spent days adding this middle level to the tree house.  It has a slide, fireman's pole, ball drop, stairs and room for a zip line one day.  Thanks for everything.

I am not one to complain, but would also like to add my worst Christmas present: LICE.  Someone gave one of my children lice, who in turn gave it to 3 other people in my house.  It has been a very very busy week.  I can't stop itching my head and am so stinkin' tired of cleaning and laundry.  Anyone want to borrow a hair brush?

Kenzie is 6

She loves doing hair and make-up.

She got her ears pierced on her birthday.

Road Trip

For Thanksgiving we got to stay with Anthony's Uncle and Aunt in Alabama.  While there we took a trip to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center:

Anthony's cousin Emilee and her 2 cute twins came along:

It was amazing.  There were tons of cool things to see and do.  Call me lame but my favorite part was actually a presentation on air.  The presenter ended the presentation with a bang.  She had all the kids take a cup and stand in the back of the room.  She then took a large garbage can filled it with fog and hit it.  We could actually see the air shaped like a ring fly from the front of the room to the kids and one by one she knocked the cups off their heads.  If you look close you can see the ring of air about to knock Madelyn's cup off her head. 

 Kenzie, Parker & Anthony enjoyed rock climbing:

 

They even got to enjoy rides:

A picture to prove I also attended:

Dad's Sweater

About 30 years ago Anthony's mom made this sweater for Anthony to wear.  Can you believe she kept it and that it is still adorable?

Kenzie quotes

Kenzie:  "Dad, kings are rich and bossy."
Anthony:  "Like me?"
Kenzie: (laughing as she says) "You're not rich."  She stops to think then says: "but you are bossy"

Kenzie:  "Guess what I am?  I am super fast and mom hates me."
Anthony: "What?"
Kenzie:  "A cockroach."
