Christmas at Memaw's

We finally had Christmas with the Dudley side of the family this past weekend.  The kids, of course, were thrilled to continue to get presents, so they didn't mind waiting until after New Years!
We got some wonderful and thoughtful presents, the kids got some cute clothes, books, toys, movies, and whatever else Memaw could get her hands on.
Tiff and Chad did the Blue Crew gift (a kids club for the KC Royals baseball team) and books, which have been a hit at night.

There was one particular present, a singing chicken, that Memaw got the kids..
slightly annoying, but lots of fun!

 The chicken sings the "chicken dance" and you toss it around, like a hot potato, and then the buzzer goes off randomly to decide the winner.  The chicken is big enough that anyone can catch it and Colin LOVES this thing.  Too bad that song gets stuck in your head really quickly!



 We moved the bounce house upstairs because it was just easier to watch the kids while getting dinner around and such.  The chicken joined in the fun...



And finally, here is a picture of our new sectional, an awesome Christmas present from Memaw.
We have been wanting to increase our seating in our main room for quite some time (pretty much since we've gotten married), but never took the leap.  We finally did and we love it!
Both ends recline, plus more of the sections in the middle also recline.  
We've watched lots of our new movies out there and next on our list..a new rug (one that hasn't been to college with Brian!)

Our first day back at Pre-K has been canceled for tomorrow. 
The temps are going to be well below freezing, with wind chills in the minus 30's.
I definitely don't mind one more day of NOT packing lunches, though :)

Welcome to winter!
