What a Wonderful Christmas!!!

I can definitely say that the Richardson Clan had a very Merry Christmas this year!  Even though we don't have our own house to carry out our Christmas traditions, we did the best that we could to keep it as fun as always.  On Christmas Eve, we watched some of our favorite Christmas movies (A Christmas Story, Gremlins) and that night we read some of our favorite books (The Grinch, Twas the Night Before Christmas).  We seem to have lost the magical reindeer food, but we still set out some double stuffed Oreos for Santa.  On Christmas morning, Daddy and Kameron woke up first and woke Mommy up.....we waited a little while, but couldn't wait any longer and woke up Kenny and Kristian.  To their surprise, Santa had left them a letter letting them know that their gifts were too big for Granny's house and instead he had left them at our new place!  As they opened their presents from Mommy and Daddy, we all try to guess at what Santa could have possibly brought them. 

Our ChristMESS!

Checking out what Santa brought them for Christmas!!!

Kenny and Kristian freezing their little tails off in the 20 degree weather with 30 mph winds.....Kameron was already back in the tahoe!

Minecraft jackpot!!!

Present opening ceased after he got one of his favorite books (Big Nate).

SANTA!!!!!!

Well, as expected, Kameron did not like having his picture taken with Santa!

At least 2 out of 3 made the nice list..... not too bad, right????

Family Pictures 2012

Well we finally got our family pictures done!  I had these awesome outfits pick out for us that included pea coats, blazers, sweaters, boots, and lots of layers with a hint of turquoise.  However, I did not plan for 85 degree weather!  Needless to say, we did not last long and started shedding clothes as soon as we started.  The rest of the session was miserable because of not only the heat, but it was windy! And our little pistol, Kameron, was not having it! I think the pictures could have been better, but I guess they turned out the best that they could have. 

My Little Fireman

Kristian was helping the firefighters burn all the piles that daddy has cleared off our land.

Saying Good Bye to Our Home

Well, we did it! We sold our house and today was the last day we spent together as a family in our home.  I cannot believe that we moved in with one baby and are now leaving blessed with 3! 

Mommy and Kenny 2004

This house has been so good to us.  And even though it may now be empty inside, it is always going to be full of our wonderful memories.  I have so many emotions to deal with both good and sad.  I know that the end of this chapter of our lives only means that we are about to start a new and exciting chapter in our lives too.  All I can do now is just leave it in God's hands.  I completely trust that he is guiding us into the path that he has chosen for us.

Kameron's Went to CDO

And here's how that played out:
Tuesday
He walked right into because he was not expecting it...cried for a minute...enjoyed music...ate very little....slept on floor the first time...and cried some at the end of the day when I think he heard my voice outside his room. Overall, teacher said he was really good and had a good day!
