Christmas Day and day after..

Christmas morning starts off pretty early in our family...
This year we slept in pretty late and got up about 8.  So it was kinda nice to not be so sleepy that day:)  We first get up and open our stockings and then move into the family room to see what Santa brought us and then open all our gifts from eachother.  This year we got some great stuff and mostly money so we can furnish our new home...(more on that soon to come)

Here is Chris with his gift from Amanda & Sean.. A hose and a HOMEOWNER rake:)

I was SOOOO excited for this gift.. I like to cook a lot and it will be so nice to have a really nice set of pots and pans... So great...  I also got the last part of my nativity this year!
Here is my Dad opening his new ban saw.. All of us kids went in together for this.  Kinda a gift that keeps giving so he can make me lots of cute things.

Parker thought we were all crazy up doing all of this stuff.. He love the paper and the bags until chris through a ball of paper at him and scared him to death.  

Aaron opening gifts..


Normally after we finish up with my family stuff and have breakfast we head over to the Johns and start all over!  It is sooo fun.. I love Christmas and I really do love all of the running around we do..  This my inlaws decided that we should all go on a trip together instead of doing presents so at the end of january we are headed out to the Eastern Carribbean.. We are so excited and the warm weather is sounding ver nice!  Because of the storm on Christmas we weren't able to have our normal big dinner with all of my Mom's side so we had our own turkey dinner and then got together the day after.  It worked out alright and I was glad we didn't try to brave the storm.. It looked aweful!  Thank you so much to both of our families we were given way to much and love spending the holidays with everyone we love.  Also again missed you Mandy & Sean!
