On new years day, Ron mentioned to Easton that it was time to cut his hair. Easton asked to have no hair, or in his words "be balt."
We obliged, but first gave him a little mohawk.
Hopefully he can stay warm!

A little Easton
Easton was given a Broncos jersey and football from Grandma and Grandpa Cali for his birthday. To say he loves them is an understatement!

The Baby Doll Beds
There is nothing like changing your mind on what you are giving all of your young nieces (and your two daughters) on November 29th.
That is exactly what happened when I saw this post on MADE.
Suddenly I was making six (yes, SIX) baby doll baskets before Christmas.
This was a pattern that was not like those I am used to sewing, as the cutting and prep work took more than 75% of your completion time, so just when you were about to die with how much time you had spent cutting out six baskets worth of fabric and lining, etc. you sat down at the sewing machine and had them done in no time (relatively, anyway).
And here are the finished projects:

Instagram: December 2013
I like to share pictures like this to tempt my California family and friends to move here. #rememberthisdoesntfactorinthewindchill
This boy, the one who officially made me a mother, turns 6 today! Love him! Happy Birthday Easton!
I knew things were a little two quiet... #atleasttheyarethewashablekind
Two of six baby doll baskets done. #handmadechristmas
Visiting the "real" Santa at our ward party. My kids LOVE him and would honestly stay by this side all day. (Kendree pretty much did). #latergram
Sometimes you don't ask why they want a picture with a blanket on their head, you just go with it.
Baby doll baskets #3 and 4. I had separation anxiety as I packed them in a box bound for California. Guess that means they didn't turn out too bad. :) Alisa - hope the girls like them!
Christmas singing program! Easton got to wear pajamas and bring his lovey "Horsey" to school. Best. Day. Ever.
There. Are. No. Words. #excepticantwaittorestagethisonein15years
Finished the two final baby doll beds! These ones will live in my own house. After watching me make all 6, I know Kendree will love them.
Kendree's version of "Move It!" Yes, she is saying moo-ga.

Random November and December
Before I go and get caught up on this little blog, I thought I would post the pictures that won't have a "home" in all of the festivities.
Devynee as Elmo.
Every single tie that Easton owns (except the bow tie ones).
Kendree's preschool had some fun activities the week before Christmas. One was making smores. These pictures are funny to me because they showcase my utter lack of photog skills. The lighting is HORRIBLE.
These girls are getting pretty good at playing together while Easton is at school (in fact, Christmas break threw a wrench into that). Kendree is "in charge" and sometimes they are quite the fashionistas when they put on a "fashion show" for me.
Never a dull moment.

Christmas Outfits
I had the kids wear their "Christmas" outfits to church on the 22nd. All of them were hand-me-downs this year (the best!) and Devynee had 5 different "Christmas" dresses to wear for the entire month of December (all from either cousins or purchased for Kendree).
This may seem like a picture overload, but when you pay attention to Kendree, you understand why I had to post them all.

Christmas Day
As mentioned in my Christmas Eve post, I was not feeling well when I went to bed.
I slept pretty well and woke a few minutes before seven. The kids got up just a bit after seven and came into our room. Ron went out to turn on lights and start filming and we had the kids file out from youngest to oldest.
I was feeling quite a bit better but very weak, so we just decided to take the day slowly and see how I was doing. We had planned on going over to my mom's house around noon and spending the night that night there to see all of my siblings while they were in town. At this point, I wasn't sure if that would happen.
The kids were spoiled rotten, as per usual. Repeatedly, each of them would exclaim, "This is the best Christmas EVER!!!"
Videos of the entire morning are below (you are welcome Grandmas and Grandpas!), but I realize most won't want to watch those.
Here are a few pictures for the rest of you.
The loot pictures:
After presents, the rest of the family had some sticky buns while I ate a few pieces of toast. I began to feel better and better and we decided to head over to Laramie and pack as if we were staying the night, and then just see how I felt over there.
Ronnie quickly made two pumpkin pies (our assignment) while I got kids dressed and clothes packed for our possible overnight stay. We left the house in all of its craziness and arrived in Laramie in time for a 1 p.m. lunch.
After lunch, the kids got to open more presents!
We had a wonderful time and I continued to feel better. The only other picture I took was of sweet Brylen when she stole Todd's Christmas hat and put it on herself. Cutie.
