Christmas a little early

We got a few of our Christmas gifts a little early this year! Our dishwasher broke back in October, and we have been doing all of our dishes by hand!!! It's amazing how I take that dishwasher for granted!! Well for christmas Darin's parents helped us buy a new dishwasher that I insisted we install early! I just love this new dishwasher. It holds so many more dishes then our last one, and it is so quiet!

The kids also got their christmas gift from darin's parents early! They bought them bunk beds!! (Buying beds is something that they like to do for all of their grandkids. They never got MyKelle a bed, so they got us bunk beds!!) We were so excited about the bunk beds, we put them together the minute we had them delivered. The kids just loved the beds-until it was time to go to sleep! We started putting the kids to bed that night at 7:30, and they didn't fall asleep until almost 11:00! This was the first experience that Gage has had with a bed, so he wanted his crib back and just threw the biggest fit. Once I got him calmed down MyKelle decided that she was too high, and wanted her old bed back. They both ended up crying themselves to sleep! It took about a week to get them used to the new beds, but now they love them!
The day after Thanksgiving we got out all of our christmas decorations and our christmas tree and we decorated our house. Well i didn't put very many christmas ornaments on the tree this year thinking that it would be less tempting to the kids to play with the ornaments. Well the other day I caught MyKelle singing to herself and playing around the tree. I went in the living room and asked MyKelle what she was doing. She told me the tree needed more ornaments, and she was decorating it.
Below are her decorations to the tree.

She went and grabbed all of her bracelets and necklaces and hung them on the tree.

What a sweet little girl! Merry early Christmas!
