Kansas Trip Cont..

Since the weather was so nice while we were in KS the boys all went outside and played football. Cooper was in heaven!

I tried to get a group photo of th eboys (BJ, Cooper, Ryan, Jackson, Chris) but Jackson wasn't really into it.

Here's a good one! (minus J)

Clearly he was not wanting his picture taken! :)CHRISTMAS MORNING! The boys loved celebrating the birthday of Jesus!

Here is Cooper with his Santa present. Santa sneakily brought one present to KS for the boys. The rest he delivered to our house once we got back in town.

Jackson's ready to open!

So's Cooper!

Jackson got this really fun ball from Uncle Chris and Amanda. He was able to jump on it right away!

Santa brought Jackson an electric keyboard! A great distraction on the drive home!

Cooper's gift was a game for his leapster.

Grandma and Grandpa S got the boys remote control cars that do all sorts of flips and tricks. They thought they were so fun!

Christmas evening Aunt Emily came over (along with Uncle Doug, Aaron, and Holly). The boys enjoyed being read to by Emily. Also Great-Grandma and Grandpa S were in town, along with Aunt Liz, Valerie, and Uncle Jeff. I was so bad and got NO pictures of them. I can't believe it!

Jackson's checking out the gift that Uncle Chris and Amanda gave Cooper.

We saw a hot air balloon! I haven't seen one in FOREVER! Wouldn't that be fun to do on Christmas?C was watching the hot air balloon and the geese outside.

Unfortunately with the way our trip was lined up we were only able to get to KC for a very quick visit. We were able to see a few friends-here are all the kids:

Jackson, Maya, NOlan, Max, Cole, Cooper, Avery, and Cade. SO glad we were able to see them all, just wish we could have seen even more of our friends! Hopefully our next trip.

The next day we drove home! Jackson and Cooper do so well in the car and make the trip pretty easy for us, thank goodness! The next day we celebrated Christmas at home.
