A Very Merry Christmas!

Four really cute kids on Christmas morning!

Ian reports that he had a good Christmas. He loved the Lego's that he received as well as some books, even a Spanish one, and the games and other toys he received.

Kendra is happy to be a girl and showed it with her new Barbie, a purple feather boa and some new clothes. However she also received some Lego and has been building with her brothers.

Lucas reports that his favorite new toy is his snake...you can see him holding it. He also loved being in the center of attention when it was his turn to open a gift. Seeing that he is our only non winter birthday I think he feels a little left out when everyone else gets presents for their birthday and he just sits and watches knowing his is a long way off.

"It's ANOTHER box." Gavin was pretty disappointed that everything he opened was a box...until he realized that the boxes held some good stuff! He was very excited to open every gift and loves all of the new clothes and toys he received.


All in all we had a great Christmas. This year we only had one party a day which helped....what a wonderful time of year to spend with friends and family!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

6 already!!!

We celebrated Kendra's sixth birthday a few days after the actual date so that friends and family could be there. Here are some of the great pictures of the "princess" enjoying her day.

A sandcastle cake!

Earings from mom and dad...she opened those on her birthday:)

A cool journal from Aunt Megan and Uncle Josh from India.

Kendra's nickname is bugs...so a ladybug bank was perfect! Thanks Aunt Jennie!

I spy Kendra and her new "I spy" book!

Christmas trees in the rain!

Here we are feeling happy that we found a tree, but sad that we are very wet! We went with mom and dad Feenstra and had a good time even though it was raining:)

Here is Gavin with his "Christmas tree." He found this little branch and carried it around the whole time. He said that it was the perfect tree and we needed to take it home...so we did!

Here are 4 wet but happy kids. They always ride on the back of the truck on the way out of the field. The rain did not deter them and they smiled the whole way.
