always Chase'n Presley

My kids are totally spoiled!!! Santa must have thought that they've been very good this year, because they got more than you can imagine especially once you throw in all the grandparents...pure craziness! We said next year we should go on a mission trip to show them kids that really appreciate gifts! Anyway, we had a fabulous Christmas with our kids and all of our family! Thank goodness Chase got his own putting green...he is in heaven! He also got his first bike and a Dancing Mickey that he likes to show you his moves. Presley's big items were a puppet show stand, fake Am. Girl doll, and karaoke machine (that I love to use!) They got a train table to share among tons of other things! We've played for days! Some other exciting news is that my brother proposed on Christmas morning asking Jamie to be his wife! We are so excited and love her! It's going to be a busy year of weddings for us as Scott's mom is getting married to a wonderful man in March, Scott's sister Katie is getting married in July to a great guys and now Jason sometime in the fall. We are excited for all of them! We've been so blessed this year and look forward to the new coming year! Oh yeah...we also have a new pet fish named Speedy!

I love these pictures of the kids playing the the piles of leaves at Nana and Grandaddy's house!

You might be looking at the next Tiger Woods! Chase is obsessed with golf! We've recorded it on tv so that he can watch it on demand! This is what he wakes up for everyday!

We celebrated Presley's 5th birthday last night with 9 little girls! It was so much fun! Lots of giggles, squeals and screams! It was a pajama movie party. All the girls wore their pj's, we ate pizza, decorated doughnuts, watched Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue, ate popcorn and made a neckless. I think everyone had a great time! It's so hard to believe that my baby is already 5! Yesterday she said, "I'm 5 years old. That's a whole handful." "What do 5 yr. olds get to do?" "I can tell I'm getting older because my bones hurt." I just love her so much! She is so fun and creative and has a huge imagination!

This year has flown by and now that Christmas is here I feeling like it's almost over and I haven't even got to enjoy it! Here are a few pics of us decorating our tree with our little helpers! I love these pictures! Fun memories had by all! The kids have been a lot of fun talking about Santa and our magic elf has been a hit! They would like to get one of everything out of the magazines! Chase is sure he is getting a golf putting green from Target from Santa and Presley wants a Go Go Pet puppy. She's been obcessed with us getting a real dog. She asks every day when she is going to be old enough for a dog because she says she knows all about how to take care of one! She has said "I'm tired of living with just a family!" Last week she asked about a hamster - of which I told her I know nothing about taking care of one of these. Yesterday, she moved to a fish and said that she thought "a 4 yr. old should be able to take care of a fish because there is only one thing to do with it - feed it". We went to the pet store last night to look at fish because I told her I didn't know if we could afford one! ha! I'm running out of excuses! I think we might end up with a fish for her birthday next week!

We pulled out Presley's tree the other day and called Chase in to come see how pretty it was. All he said was "Where's my Christmas tree?" So, he and Scott headed to Wal-mart to buy him a tree. Poor thing fell asleep on the way home, so we decorated his the next day. Chase's tree has a sports, snowman, santa theme. Presley's is everything princess. Very appropriate for both of them!
