Merry Christmas from the Tippetts and have a Happy New Year!!

 Taking a rest from all the Christmas Day Hoopla!! Makenna is passed out cold.

 Makenna opening her gift from Papa....a new bike....after a wardrobe change of course.

 Enjoying Xmas Family and Friend time.

  Opening the xmas gift from Papa!!

 Our fire truck ornament for Baby T.

Going to see Baby T for xmas to give him his special ornament and to let him know how much we love and miss him always. The kids still didn't feel so good, so we just threw some jackets on over our jammies.

  Opening Zhu Zhu pets from Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Jill.

 Talking to Aunt Jill and Uncle Jeremy on Factime.

 Ready for Santa with milk and cookies and gifts from mommy and daddy put out after bedtime.

Opening gift at Aunt Deeda's. Fun stuff!!!

 Opening the presents from Grandma. WE LOVE OUR GIFTS GRANDMA!! Makenna slept with her new robe, she kept saying Ariel blanket. Tristan named his helmet as one of his favorite gifts. It is so cool mom, he told me.

 Tristan opening his Airplane from Uncle Jermeny and Aunt Jill, he was beyond excited. He LOVED it.

Just a few other pics of opening gifts from Santa and mommy and daddy.

Also a short video of catching Makenna saying, "HO, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas!!" She was putting the santa hat on and saying this. This one I caught on video not the best, but the one I got.

This is the cutest thing ever. Makenna talks so much more at this age than Tristan did and she speaks so clear that I am already always in awe of her. She is so smart too and I just love watching her learn new things. Tristan teaches her so much and part of his teachings are singing songs with her like ABC's and Twinkle, twinkle little star. Makenna sings the "twinkle" song, as she calls it, very often and this is a video of her singing while sitting on the toilet. DO NOT WORRY....no potty shots, just a black screen as she would stop singing if she new I was recording her. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

 Makenna showing off her Princess Jammies from my friend Diane!

 Just a pic of Makenna's beautiful curly, blonde hair.....where does this come from. So sweet!

 Makenna wanted to wear her "princess" dress and had to put her matching shoes on as well. She asked me for a princess crown, which surprised me because we do not have one and where has she seen that besides cartoons....well Tristan informed me at daycare. Linda's grand daughter has a crown and a wand, so that is what Tristan decided to buy Makenna for Xmas because she needs it. I love him!

 Just a pic of the kids playing in the hallway. They have NEVER done this before, but I guess decided it would be fun. A picture worthy moment if you ask me.

 Walking into daycare/Linda's house the morning we had our first day of snow. It sure did not last long and was melted by the time I picked them up.

 Here is a pic of Tristan with Santa that we got taken at Bass Pro Shop. He did such a good job. Makenna not so much having any to do with Santa except to get a piece of candy. Tristan looks so big..sad mommy moment!

 The kids dressed to impress for their little xmas party at Linda's. Linda has the kids do a little gift exchange and they have a little party. They love it!!

I just was so surprised by this wonderful gesture that I took a pic and thought I would share. This is the amazing gift I had waiting for me on my desk on friday from our  doctors. They are so nice and I LOVE IT!!

Just wanted to share a few pics since it has been a while since I posted anything, so here are some to share. Gearing up for christmas around here and working. That is pretty much it. So far the winter has been very kind and warm, well at least warm for us 40's and even in the 50's wow. Lets hope that does not mean some pretty mean cold and snow later on....scared! Hope everyone is doind well.

 Makenna and Hudson playing in the car. So cute!!

 Makenna the pirate....AAAARRRR!

 Tristan and Hudson playing at the car table.

 Hudson blowing the train whistle.

 Makenna telling us that the Alligator bit her arm...OUCH!

 The pic above and the pics below are the kids playing music at Heather's house....so FUN!

 Just chilling together. So sweet!

 I had to share this pic to show two things: how long Makenna's hair is getting and how sweet her little curls look. Love them. I always wonder if they will stay or go away with time.

Husdon driving his fire truck. So serious!
