Thanksgiving "2008"

Thanksgiving was great. We ate, ate, and ate a little more. Then us girls tried to fight the Black Friday sales adds from Jared. Imagine that.

The Kids had a blast with Taylor getting crafty, and face painting there faces.
Yes, we where all a little concerned with Rileys painted face. But we all got a good laugh at it. Riley would walk around the house, and we would just laugh, he had no clue what we where laughing at, or even what was painted on his face. He just new he was getting a lot of attention.

Grandpa and Grandma Bagley's Christmas party "2008"
Mom was in charge of the Bagley Christmas party this year. Mom decided that we would all draw names, divide into 6 groups, and have a race to see which team could win the most. Mom must have had one heck of a wild hair one day, you should have seen some of the games she came up with. Below you will see Coy below fishing around in cool whip to see how many gummy worms she can find within one minute. She ended up wearing most of it. Kirk on the other hand was a little jealous that coy had more cool whip on her face then he did, so they ended up sharing the cool whip, when uncle kirk came over and gave her a big Eskimo kiss on the check.

This game here was quite funny. Aunt Michelle ( top picture), Brian, Kayden, Jared and a couple others where nominated for the Cheetos throw. We sat these boys down, and poor Michelle, caked on shaving cream, and then was given one minute to throw as many Cheetos's on there face, and make sure they stuck. Who ever lathered Brian up, was pretty determined to win. They only gave him one eye to see out of, and one nose hole to breath. The game was great, except the fact that the guys smelled like shaving cream for a couple days, and there eye's where slightly burned. So next time instead of shaving cream, I think well go to cool whip.

I did not get any pictures of the donut eating contest, which was the funniest of all, or the bubble gum game. The team that one was Uncle Franks team, Which Coy happened to be on. I have decided that Coy, and Uncle Frank are not a good combination. Some how they one all of games(cheater's). So Kim and Heidi, I want you to ask coy how she one the game " who can blow the biggest bubble from a piece of bubble gum. It involves Frank and Coy, just imagine. Your not kidding some people will go to great lengths to win.

Brian Kayden Jared

At the end of the party Santa clause came. As you can see from the pictures, Brinlee was scared to death, Riley was in hog heaven, and kyson was like what the heck happened to the real Santa clause.
After Santa left, Kyson came up to me and said he new that was not the real Santa. I told him your right it was one of Santa's silly worker's.


The party was a lot of fun. I always love going to Grandpa and Grandmas house, and so do the kids. I am so happy that they are so lucky to be able to make such great memories with them.

This year we decided to put up our fake tree. We always take the kids out and let them pick a real one. But after the last 2 years, they are so dead by Christmas, that I talked the kids into the fake one this year. As you can tell Brian had a lot of help putting the tree up. So much he did not quite no what to do. The kids had a blast.

Brinlee figured since she had so much practice on our Christmas tree, she outta help Grandpa Calderwood out. Lets just Say, the tree was a little lop sided when they where done. Grandpa Calderwood almost had a breakdown. Grandma talked him into a fake one this year. He said he would give it a try. I don't think he will be doing it again. This was his first time he had touched a fake tree, and you would have thought he was getting a tooth pulled.

Last night for family night, the kids had a blast making there Christmas chains. They are counting the days down.

This is Riley's friend Bethany. The other day they where sitting on the couch watching a show.

I left the room for a minute, and when I walked back in to the room, Bethany was sitting right next to Riley with her head laying on Riley's shoulder. When she saw me she jumped up and slid back to the other end of the couch. "Busted"

Riley, even though he is making googly eyes at Bethany, he was proud of his gingerbread house he made at school that day.
