Christmas

 We had a busy Christmas! We were in Tribune this year for Christmas but managed to sneak to Hays for my families Budke Christmas.  Each year my mom's side gets together for a day and there is about 60+ with all the Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins!

Thad had a good time chasing Papa around!

Little Oliver is addicted to snoballs just like his momma! I love snoballs and have to get one or two when we go home.  Of course the kids have to have their own because they won't share!

It's always good seeing my Grandmother.  She hasn't been feeling the greatest lately so it was nice to be able to see her and get more pictures.  

Here is the grandchildren clan.  Everyone is getting so big!

Shayna~Hannah~Macie~Jaelynne, Dawson, Thad, Avery and Ollie

We spent Saturday in Hays and then went back to Tribune.  It's always fun getting the kids together.  

Here is Maddix, Josh and Thad.  They are all going to be 5 next year and have their own personalities!!! 

Cora and Ollie had fun playing together.  Cora got a doll stroller for Christmas and she liked it when Ollie pushed her around Grandma's house!

As always the kids got way too many presents but they had a blast opening them.  

The Christmas Dragon! Thad found an old Halloween costume of Tatum's and had to put it on.  He snuck in a few of the family pictures with it on!

No peeking for Santa!

Thad asked Santa for a cash register and he brought him one! He also got a wallet with money in it.  Oliver got a wagon he could pull and a stick pony. Last year Santa left a cookie for Thad to eat in the morning and this year he asked if Santa was going to leave him another cookie to eat! So Santa left two cookies this year, one for Thad and one for Ollie even though I think Thad ate both.

He was so happy to get his cash register!

 Silly boys

We had a great time celebrating with family.  Can't wait for next year when there will be one more boy in our Christmas picture.  On Christmas day, Adam's mom rented the 4H building so all the kids could run and play! They had bikes, scooters, balls, etc. there to play with and it was a great idea for the kids.  

We got to see Chauchi too! He was excited to see us and is having a good time living with his sister in Tribune.  Can you spot him in this picture? He is a nut and both dogs like to get up on the roof and watch the cars.  As we were leaving I looked up and there he was, staring down at us with those big puppy eyes! I miss him, but not enough to bring him home! It's crazy enough with all these boys in the house, I can't do a dog right now too! Thanks Beth for taking such good care of him.

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
