Christmas 2010

We spent Christmas in Tribune with Adam's family this year. It was a fun time and Thad got lots of presents! The first night we got there Thad and Tatum helped Grandma Kathy make fruit salad! They had fun cutting up the banana's and putting the grapes in the bowl. A few of the pieces had bites taken out of them but they had fun helping.

Adam will probably be mad that I put this picture up but when you have a girl cousin who LOVES to dress up and act like she is a Princess then Thad has to do that too. He copied everything Tatum did and wanted to dress up with his Princess crown and too-too. He looked cute and we called him Thadalina while he was dressed like that.

Two of Adam's sisters were home for Christmas. Here is Beth, Tatum and Jude

And the angry bird family- Jill, Brett, Zekke, Titus and Maddix. They all got angry birds shirts from Christmas and wore them. If you don't know what angry birds is- it's a game on the ipod or most of the phones have them and its very addictive! Try it out!

And of course our family. Thad wasn't too interested in looking at the camera so this is the best shot we got.

After everyone went to Christmas Eve mass we opened all our presents. The kids spread out in the living room and each had their own piles. Thad had a Toy Story Christmas this year. He got Woody from Grandma and Papa.

He also got Buzz Lightyear that makes cool sounds, Toy Story and Toy Story 2, games, a Mr. potato head, a boy barbie (from Aunt Beth- I think she was more interested in seeing Adam's face!), dinosaurs, clothes, and a pizza planet toy from Toy Story. He got a few other little things and was spoiled for Christmas.

On Christmas morning Thad woke up and was a little grumpy. He takes a little while to warm up in the morning and wasn't ready for more presents! Santa had visited Grandma's house and left him a Toy Story car he can drive. After a few minutes he was ready to get in and drive away! We took it upstairs to Wayne and Kathy's room and he was able to drive up there. He ran into a few things but did a good job. He liked shifting it from forward to reverse!

On Christmas Day we went to Kathy's sister's house in Winona. Aunt Dianne and Uncle Steve live on a farm and have horses and donkey's! Thad and Tatum LOVED riding them. Thad wanted to pull Tatum while she rode Ace. Cousin Fred helped Thad and Tatum alot!

Here is Fred, Thad, Tatum and Scott. Scott is Dianne's son and let the kids ride the horses for a long time.

After Ace they wanted to ride Chewy the donkey! They call him Chewy because he likes to chew! I guess he tries to eat anything in site. He snuck up on Thad's shoe lace and tried taking a little taste but someone caught him just in time! We had a fun time on the farm and Thad had a fun time with Uncle Steve! They wrestled and wrestled!

I had to include this cute picture of baby Jude! He is so darn sweet. He loves to cuddle and is so cute!

The last day we tried getting a picture of the grandkids who were there and this is what we have. Thad, Titus, Jude, Tatum, Zekke and Maddix! I only snapped one picture because we had a couple who weren't too happy getting their picture taken. It makes for a great picture and a way to end a great weekend!

Thanks Wayne and Kathy for always putting up with us. We always have a fun time and the kids always get spoiled. We missed you Jason, Vic, Cole, Jacob, Gracie, Jena, Matt and Josh!
