Christmas....finally a new post! ;)

Sorry it has taken me so long to get this post up. It has been very crazy at our house, especially since there is only 1 month before little miss Payton arrives. Christmas was amazing this year (technically last year, LOL). My parents, sister, and all but one brother were here in Oklahoma to celebrate Christmas with us. We had a full/fun house. We went to a place called The Orre Family Farm to go see Santa. It was both Matthew and Kylie's first time to sit on Santa's lap. And, Matthew knew exactly what to do. It was pretty cute. As soon as Santa asked him what he would like for Christmas he told him right away that he wanted a bike! Kylie was a little more shy but she didn't cry (which took me by suprise). We had so much fun at the farm! We rode a carosel, a train, went down slides, drank some yummy hot chocolate, pet some farm animals, and the kids rode horses for the first time. Kylie was especially thrilled to ride the pony. Matthew chose the smallest horse, and of course, Kylie chose the biggest one. Kylie kept petting her pony and laughing. It was really sad when she had to get off though. I think we are going to have to put her in horse back riding lessons. She is IN LOVE with horses!!!! Anyways, we had a great time with my parents and siblings. It was sad to see them go but hopefully we will get to visit them again before next Christmas.

 Matthew with Santa, loving every moment of the Orre Family Farm.
Kylie was mostly interested in Santa's beard. LOL
Matthew on his little pony. :)
 Kylie having the time of her life on her big horsie. She has never smiled so big...ever. Although, she is not smiling in this picture, it was because she was talking to her horse.
 Here is Christmas morning, unwrapping their presents from Santa (that is their new Kitchen in the backround).

 Matthew got the bike asked Santa for, I guess he was a pretty good boy last year!
 That was Christmas....not sure when the next post will be. It might be pictures of a new baby girl. I will try to get in some posts before then, but I'm not making any promises, hahaha. Matthew and Kylie are ready for their sister to come out and greet us (I know I am DEFINITELY ready for her to be here). They ask me at least once a day if "she is coming today". I love my little toddlers, they are growing up so fast. And, they are going to be very good with their new sibling. They both take turns taking care of Kylie's baby dolls. It is pretty amazing to watch. Matthew even tries to change the "baby's" diaper, and Kylie feeds them and puts them to bed, and takes them on walks to "the park (our kitchen)". They are such good kids. I thank Heavenly Father every day for the angels he has sent me. They give me such joy and happiness. I can't wait to add another sweet angel to our family.
