Kali's room re-do

Since we've got this little bean coming in July 2012


Kali & Kai will be sharing a room. Luckily Kali's room is actually 2 rooms made into one SUPER room so they will have plenty of space.










So we're saying goodbye to the fairy, the pink walls and the GROSS carpet. After this we will only have carpet in one room in our house & I am so glad because it's awful to keep clean with a dog & kids.







First we took everything off the wall & took the curtains down.



Francis painted the walls white (the entire room will be white because we figure when we want to sell the house that would be best)









Here is my hot painter/carpet remover/pergo installer. He works for free :)











All of Kali's stuff taking over the dining room. There is also some in our room & Kai 's room. This girl has WAY too much stuff!












Fran only had to tape off the windows because we even have to paint the ceiling.













Then the carpet came out. And the GROSS padding. He also tore out the baseboard. Francis is scrapping the floor as I am writing this and then he'll finish painting and tomorrow it will be on to the Pergo padding & the actual Pergo.


It's going to be a busy but carpet free New Year!!

Christmas Day

After opening all of their gifts from us on Christmas Eve they got their Santa presents Christmas mornings. Since they had so much fun on Christmas Eve they both slept in past 9 and we had to wake them up. It was SOOO nice to sleep in that long.





Then Grandma Kathi and her boyfriend Dennis came over with more gifts. We had quiche and french toast bites with sparkling cider for breakfast. It was delish!! (I love my quiche recipe, it's from Paula Dean but I leave out 1/2 of the butter)










The kids had a light saber fight with Dennis after we ate.










Then it was on to my parents house for MORE gifts and lunch.











Noodle was dressed as an elf & my brother's dog was Mrs. Claus.























































































Kali was SOOO happy because Uncle Bret gave her 2 Justin Beiber CD's. She said it was the BEST gift EVER!


































And, Kai (who got about 5 different weapons) resumed fighting.
















The girls


















The boys. (Fran looks like a crazy person in this pic but I swear he is not--ha!)














More of Kai's fighting (oh I mean Obi Wan, he wore that costume for 2 days)

















Everyone minus my Dad














Becker bunch














Yaya & Granddad with the Grand kids
















The girls again.




















Kids, spouses & Grand kids (and dogs)
Then my brother's & sister-in-law went swimming. Francis & I tried to find room for all these new toys and then it was time for dinner.


It was such a fun & exhausting day.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve day started with decorating cookies for Santa. Kai and I did some last minute shopping and then for diner we went to the Kenny's house. It's becoming a tradition for us and we always have a great time.





Then we came home and opened presents with just the four of us.










Kai LOVES costumes so that is what he got!








Kali really wanted a pair of (fake) glasses so Kai picked these out for her and she was sooo happy.





















































































































It was such a nice night!
