Christmas Time at the Hynek's!!!!

This year we had a nice, calm christmas. Well, as calm as we can with our crew - and the fact that I came down with a HORRIBLE case of strep throat on the 23rd. And Bailey got sick on Christmas eve. But other than that, it was wonderful!!! But, for us, any family time is a wonderful time. The more, the merrier!

Bailey opening her stocking!

Wyatt with his "special" gift from Santa - a new digital camera just for him. He kept saying "HOW did he know I wanted this? How did he know?!"

Wyatt took this picture with is very own camera!

Trent found his "special" gift from Santa - a Spirit Skateboard!

mommy getting in to help unwrap ...

It seems like this was only two minutes after the present opening started ... but maybe it was more like 10 minutes ...

Baiely, Trent & Wyatt - I made the sit for a few pictures before they could dive under the tree ... it was like torture!

this is at about midnight on x-mas ever - Cooper was a little tired of all the commotion!

Gifts under the tree ... waiting for morning! OR for our kids, 5:30am ...

Stockings stuffed and waiting for the little ones to wake up!

Since Bailey and I were home sick while Chris and the boys went out for the family Christmas Eve, Bailey was able to open some presents when they came home ...

Trent loving all his gifts

Wyatt buried under presents, trying out as Santa ...

Dane is 15, and a visit with Sierra & Olivia

Time flies ... I can't believe that Dane is 15. It's pretty scary ...

Sierra and Olivia came in for a visit for a few days, then they are off to visit with other family friends. Tonight, we had family come over for pizza, games, and family fun!

Sierra getting some quality Isaiah time! Cody (Uncle Dodo to the kids) playing Guitar Hero in the back ...

Day #4 of our Montana Trip - time to head back ...

Our November visit with Sierra & Olivia was in Montana. We decided to stay at the Haymoon Ranch again (we stayed there in Spring of 2006), and we are SO glad we did - there was an error in the bookings - so instead of staying in the smaller place we reserved, they let us stay in the Great Big House - and it was INCREDIBLE! There were rooms for everyone - room to spread out and relax - THREE bathrooms - which was great with 8 of us. I can't believe how much room we had - or how much fun we had. The trip went far too fast - and now its time to drop the girls off and head back to Seattle ... so bitter sweet.

Even Cooper is pooped out after four days of running and playing in beautiful, cold Montana!

Bailey and her baby packed up in the car and ready to go home to Seattle

Happy, laughing faces - so beautiful!

All the kids around the breakfast table - being WAY too silly!

Bailey & Wyatt looking out the window towards the horses - everyone already getting sad that its time to head back to Seattle

Sierra getting ready ... we are almost all packed up - our trip has already come to an end ...

Trent snoozing on a couch in our own "parlor" off our master bedroom ... I can't imagine having this much space for a house in real life!

Wyatt spread out on one of the beds - the place was great - each of the little ones could fall asleep and wake up in seperate rooms - but this didn't stop them from STILL waking up at 6am ...
