Christmas 2013

OK, here is picture overload from Christmas.

Ava's babies sleeping.
We went to see Santa at a local mall. He was the best Santa I have ever seen. Not only did he look the part, but he truly acted the part. He was so kind and very patient with the kids. He seemed to really enjoy listening to what each child wanted. (Kailyn is apparently too old to sit on Santa's lap)

Jordan waiting in line.

Ava is always willing to pose so I can test out my camera.

Ava asked for a princess.

Chase asked for connect four.

Caden asked Santa for a Chess set.

Jordan asked for a watch


This year we decided to open one present on Christmas Eve. We all got BYU shirts.


Each kid decorated a cookie for Santa.

Before opening presents on Christmas day we have a big breakfast. This year we had lots of drink choices (OJ, Eggnog, milk, chocolate milk), bacon, cinnamon rolls, sausage, and fresh fruit.


Present from Grandma and Grandpa Bassett.

The plate Jordan made at school for Ken and me.

Kailyn very excited about her gift from G & G Bassett.

A hand soap dispenser created by Kailyn for Ken and me.



Jordan was so excited about getting a gift for Ken. She picked out a book.






A snowman Caden made at school that he gave to Ken and me.

Ken hates my razor sitting next to the soap in the shower, so this is my new razor holder.

Every year we do a treasure hunt for each of the kids to find their main present. The kids absolutely love the treasure hunts. Here are pictures of the presents the kids found.

Chase kept asking for Connect 4.

Caden was in Chess club this year a long with Kailyn and Jordan. He likes Chess and wanted his own chess set.

Jodan was very excited to get the watch she wanted.

Kailyn was a bit confused by the last clue that sent her outside to the four runner.

Oh, the present is inside the car.

Pretty excited about her new bike.
After everything was opened, we spent the day enjoying our presents.
