Christmas Day with the Bowdens!!

Well this Christmas has been kinda different. But good different. It just didn't seem like Christmas til it actually was Christmas. But it just wasn't the same. Like we didn't decorate the tree together as a family, we didn't go caroling like we always do, and people didn't even get Christmas cuz people were losing their jobs. But the Christmas spirit finally started to kick in on Christmas eve!!! ha ha we had a fun time with the family!! here are some pics:)

Dad got an iPhone and Brynn and I got some clothes.  As my mom, aunt Jenna and Poopy call it, "My dad joined the CLub!!" The iPhone club! ha ha they say that my mom is the President, Poopy is the V.P., and Jenna is the Secretary!! ha ha! Oh and don't forget about mom!! She got LOADS of clothes!!!!! And a bunch of running stuff.

Are you guys married?

So Brynn, and Danielle, and I, were baby sitting the Brinkerhoffs and the Iversons yesterday. It was a lot of fun and we had some good times:) So it comes time for dinner and Brynn, Rylee Iverson, Kenzie Brinkerhoff, and I were in the kitchen. I was cooking mac & cheese and brynn was doing the dishes or something like that. And Kenzie and Rylee were eating their dinner. So then Kenzie says, "Brynnie how old are you?" and Brynn says 13. Then she says "Kara how old are you? and I say 12. And she opened her mouth like I was so old!! Then she goes  "Are you guys married? ha ha Brynn and I started l laughing so hard!! Kenzie, she is toot bum!!! lol

It seems different than all the other Christmases that we've had cuz like my mom was the only one who decorated the house, and just stuff like that!! But we didn't forget the EGG NOG!!!!!! and hallelujah!!! I am the only one in my family that really likes egg nog!! I think it's DELICIOUS!!! ha ha
