Kelsey is kissing the herself under the mistle toe

Andrew is riding the pony.

My Grandma has had troubles keeping her kitty, Daisy, out of the tree.

So we all went to Kansas for a couple days. We had two Christmas get togethers, a group of us went and saw Marley and Me (which was excellent), and several of us went back to where I use to live and walked around. It was a really good time.

The Burkey Christmas

Dan is known for his picture taken stance.

So Kim wanted someone to play with her hair. So I did a crazy looking french braid.

So right before Andrew and I left for Kansas we had the Burkey Christmas. We all had a wonderful time and no one ended up in the hospital this time.

Chaput Christmas 2008

Just like all men should do...clean! Andrew here is a hint.

Lilly is reading to Matt.

Baby Logan wasn't really into the picture taking frenzy.

Dad always is a different Christmas story before we open presents and this year we learn about two little piggies.

Apparently Lilly is a little to old for this toy.

Both Bella and Charlie were into the reindeer thing this year. What silly doggies. (Oh the antlers light up too)

So on Saturday, all the Chaput's made it over to Mom and Dad's house for CHRISTMAS! We had breakfast, Dad read a Christmas story, opened presents, watched a movie, and then ate some more. Wonderful times were had by all! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Long Hair...no more!

So a picture being taken for downward up...not a good idea. Yikes!

So today I decided to cut off my long hair. I believe it went well but man.....no more pony tail I don't even know if people will know who I am. Life. Here are some before and after pictures.

More House Pictures

Andrew put up the mirror and shelves and I decorated!

Andrew hung some art above the bed.

Andrew (and myself) have still been workingon the house. I wasn't going to put up Christmas decorations but I couldn't resist. So, here are some pictures including more remodeling spots.
