Christmas morning we got up and let Kade open his gifts from Mom and Dad and see what Santa brought him. He got a digital camera from Santa and a full stocking with goodies. From Mommy & Daddy he got a Thomas the Train bedding set, some Thomas books, a Thomas placemat, and a Take-a-Long Thomas, Percy & Toby, trains that magnetize together. Kade loves Thomas and loves his new Thomas toys! Christmas afternoon we spent at my Aunt Donna's house in Broken Arrow with my dad, my grandparents, my brother, and our cousins. We ate a big dinner, and then opened presents. Kade got money, a helicopter toy and a chicken/egg game. Then for the evening we went over to my grandma Jeanie's house to have dinner and open presents with them. My mom, Bruce, Bryan and Tom & Jeanie were there. Kade got a Curious George DVD set, Thomas the Train DVD set, some shirts my grandma made him, a new swimsuit, a couple of other shirts, and more money. One of Kade's favorite things was playing in the styrofoam that was packing for one of our gifts. He was breaking it up and saying "snowing, snowing!"

Christmas Eve
For Christmas Eve afternoon we went to my dad's house. We ate lunch and opened presents there. Kade got a Radio Flyer wagon, Thomas the Train computer, Ratatouille book, Cars Magna Doodle, some money and a View Finder. Then we took Kade to get his hair cut. Tara did a really good job and cut Kade's hair into a faux hawk. It's so cute! Then for the evening we went over to Jake's parents' house to eat dinner and open presents with them & Holly. Kade got a Radio Flyer tricycle, Elmo & Cookie Monster vacuum cleaner, animal puzzle, Color Wonder book, and some money. He especially likes his tricycle! Here are a few pictures of our day.

Early Christmas Present
I didn't put out any of the Christmas presents under the tree until today, because I knew that Kade would be into all of them. So today while he was down for his nap, I started putting them out. As soon as he woke up, the first thing he was were the presents. He ran over to the tree and started yelling "presents"! Then he started crawling under the tree and pulling all the presents out. I told them that all those presents weren't for him. They were for our family. Then he saw the gifts wrapped in Sponge Bob paper. He started yelling "Bob, Bob"! I told him those were for him, and he'd have to ask Daddy if he could open one early. Daddy said yes, so I told Kade to pick out one of the presents to open. He studied them very hard and finally decided on one. He got Thomas the Train bath tub toys. There is a Thomas, James & Molly. Kade loves Thomas and knows all the trains by heart, so he was so excited! Here are a few pics of him and his new trains.

Kid's Christmas Party
Today all the moms had a Christmas party for our kids at Noel's house. It was so much fun! The kids got to have a picnic lunch of chicken nuggets and chips in the living room floor. Then we let the kids decorate sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles. Then each kid made a reindeer shirt. They are so cute! The reindeer's face is Kade's foot, and his ears are Kade's hands. Kade wasn't sure about putting paint on his foot and hands at first, but he let me do it. After the shirts the kids got to open gifts. We all brought dollar tree gifts for each kid to open. Kade got a basketball, car, tops, rubber stamp set & stuffed monkey. He had so much fun today! Then the kids played and watched a movie.

Friend's Christmas Party
Tonight we went over to Chad & Noel's house to have a Christmas party with our friends. Joel & Teresa, Nikki, Zach & Aadyn, Dustin, Rachael & Martin, and Chad, Noel, Araya & Kaya were all there. Teresa cooked a huge Christmas dinner, which was very good! Then we all opened gifts and had a great time. Later the guys played Rock Band while the girls played cards. Kade got a clock toy from Chad & Noel and a Build-A-Bear leopard with undies from Joel & Teresa. Thanks also to Chad & Noel, who gave Jake and me each a shirt, a coupon for pictures, and some candy, and also to Joel & Teresa, who got me a Bath & Body Works set and Jake some books.
Mommy's Graduation
Today I graduated from NSU. YAY, finally!! I had tons of family come to support me, so that was great. Jake, Kade, my brother Bryan, my mom, Bruce, my dad, Tina, my grandparents Mema & Pepa, my cousin Nicholas, my grandparents Tom & Jeanie, my in-laws Ron & Carolyn, and my sister-in-law Holly were all there. I also graduated with Kara Kelley, and we got to sit together since we were in alphabetical order. So that was nice to sit by a friend. Here are a few pics. I don't have the good ones yet, because my mom took those, and I haven't gotten them from her yet. So I'll post the better pictures later.

Visit With Santa
Tonight was Daddy's company Christmas party with OG&E. It was held at the Civic Center in Muskogee. It was a really nice party. They catered a meal from Jasper's, which was really good. Then after the meal Santa showed up. This is what we had been waiting for for a couple weeks. We had been telling Kade that he would get to see Santa tonight, and he was all excited. I wasn't so sure though. As soon as Santa walked in the room, Kade started whining "Mommy, Mommy." Then he crawled up in my lap and started crying. Santa walked to the other side of the room, and then Kade got happy real quick. He started saying "Bye Santa." Then when Santa came back he got scared again. Santa went up and sat in his sleigh to hand out gifts to the kids. So each kid was supposed to come up, get their gift, and get their picture taken on Santa's lap. Kade was deathly afraid of sitting on his lap. I asked him if Mommy could sit on Santa's lap, and Kade could sit on Mommy's lap. He gave a definite no! So when they called his name, I took him up to get his gift while he screamed the whole time and was covering his ears, something he does when he's scared. The photographer offered to just take a picture of Kade and me together, but I couldn't even get him calmed down enough for that. Oh well, there's always next year!

Tonsillitis
Kade has been sick since Thursday. He started running a fever, and it got up to 104.6 by Friday. So we took him in to the doctor to make sure it wasn't anything more than a virus. We found out he has tonsillitis. By the time we got him to the hospital Friday night, his fever had broken and was at 99.0. The fever never came back. So we were glad about that! He's feeling a lot better and just has to take some antibiotics for another week. Hope you enjoy the pictures of Kade taking his "temper". He was playing with the thermometer and told me he was taking his temperature there in his belly button!!
