Christmas 09

Christmas Eve at my parents house started out this year at
2:00, getting the kids ready to take the yearly nativity scene
picture.

My cute little baby Jesus.

We then moved on to our annual program where my mom writes

a new song and sings it. It was a very beautiful song this year!

Doesn't everyone look thrilled to be here?!

Then on to dinner where everyone has to finish and then they

can open the presents found by their plate.

The kids were so excited to open their presents from grandma.

This year she made them all a quilt (which my kids haven't gone

a night without yet) and gave them a pair of pj's and some money

put into a tin container with their picture on it. It was a special

Christmas with homemade gifts I thought.

Even Kaden got in on the action for a bit.

Santa Claus came to our house even though the kids were a

little crazy in December! Here is Kadens little stack. Santa

brought all the same things Brady and Macy played with

when they were little.....weird!

Macy's stuff.

Brady's stuff. That big red tractor didn't cost Santa a thing

which I was told he was pretty happy about!

You would think this pile was mine, but Joe has been asking

Santa for months now for some nice big towels. Santa

delivered. He was thrilled.......

She has worn this spiderman shirt everyday since Christmas.

Brady LOVES his cars which I got for 1/2 off so that was exciting!

Kaden was having fun playing with Joe's other favorite gift,

underwear!

They also loved their little jungle/safari which was put on their

train table.

Joe was having fun playing with his huge remote control truck

which goes up to 20 mph. (my mom gave him this)

We spent Christmas day with Dille's. Had a nice dinner and then

did our white elephant gift exchange. I love spending time with

family.

I hope you all had as Merry of a Christmas as I did!
