Santa Came

Well Santa made it to our house. The kids are still asleep, but mom is waiting in bed hoping they wake up soon. I love when the kids do t know everything they are getting and this year is full of surprises.


Coleman: down jacket, iTouch dock/speakers and a cool beanie.


Evelyn: finally got a BIG bike. This thing is huge hope she can get the hang of it quick and the snows stays at bay so she can ride it. She also got a few games bc she is so good at playing with her sisters.


Leland wanted the iTouch. She is going to love all the cool big girl stuff that she got with it.


Claire and Ruby both wanted a jewelry box with rings and makeup. Santa hooked them up with Caboodles-oh yeah!!! I am sure the makeup will make a huge mess and I will have to hide it before the day is out, but bring it on. I am ready for some smiles :):):)

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve from the Krallis Kids!!!

Can you tell from this picture who likes to be the center of attention at our house. And notice that even Coleman is smiling. Now I'm not sure what Claire is doing, but she does look cute with her new haircut. Of course you have dumby in the shot, Tank oh how i loath thee!!!

Everyone is in the bed and waiting for the arrival of Santa!! We definitely believe at this house, although the true miracle was the birth of our Savior and his life and LOVE for each one of us. I pray my kids know this to be as true as I do!!!

So there

Claire had a play date with a friend today and the mom texted me this message:

I just said "be nice girls. nobody likes mean girls." and claire said, "well I like liddy and she likes me. so..." and shrugged her shoulders like so there!

Seriously. This girl cracks me up.!

That's what I wanted anyway

So Claire cut her own hair the other night when Coleman was babysitting. It was to the point that we had to go chop it all off. When I asked her "Claire why did you do that sweetie, now we have to cut off all your beautiful hair?" and she said to me "duh that's what I wanted anyway MOM". Well there ya go. Here is my new little lady.

Out of the mouth of babes

So Claire has been testing my patience lately, she has been super winey and very sassy. These are a few of her best verbal cuts, as of late.....

C "Mom just so you know Paige's mom is SOOOOO much better then YOU"

C "you need to stop treating me like Mama"
Me "what do you mean?"
C "you are rude just like Mama"
(I am not the only person whose patience is tested when parenting Claire) lol

C "If you don't give me candy I am going to my room till I am 15 and never eat again and die"
Me "I love you Claire I don't want you to die"
C "well I am because I am never coming down EVER AGAIN"
(I would like to report she stayed in her room for about 5 mins, DARN)

I really do love my sweet Claire Bear but sometimes it feels like the old saying "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" was referring to her :):)

And of course happy birthday to the LOVE of my LIFE!!!! I love this man more then words can express and pray for a long life of joy and happiness!!! Isn't he so handsome!!!

Hit like a GIRL!!!

Evelyn is really into Karate and is doing very well. She went for her belt test the other week and did so well she went up 2 belts. She is now a yellow belt and working really hard to test again!! Brian and I went to watch and were so proud of her. This girl definitely beats to her own tomboy drum, but I love that she knows who she is and is proud to be herself!!!

Kick it Ev!!!!
