Christmas!!

Christmas morning is always exciting, loud and full of laughter! I woke up at about five thirty and just layed in bed and watched a Christmas Story waiting for my kids to wake up! They didn't even wake up till after seven thirty! What the heck! Without Papa here to get them up at six, we just let them wake when they wanted. haha... We told the kids they had to stay at the bottom of the stairs and sing Jingle Bells, that's how we would know they were awake! They sang their little hearts out while we waited for Josh and Ash to witness the main event!!

Grant got exactly what he wanted.

Aliya got something she didn't even know to ask for, but really wanted!! :) Santa knows all!!

Landon asked all year for a guitar for Christmas, but then when Christmas came around and it was time to write his list, he asked for a pocket rocket. I am not sure Santa even knows what that is!!

This was Penny's Christmas present. She is not allowed in our bed, but we came to check on her and there she was sprawled out on the bed looking at us with her puppy dog eyes. Not even Neal could resist!

Josh and Ash (and baby Ellie)!!

Nana and Papa got the kids Mario Cart for the Wii! Landon couldn't wait to play!

After our morning, we went over to Neal's Mom and Dad's and did all of our fun Christmas traditions over there! This was the only pic I got from their house! haha...

We then went home and I got to work on Christmas dinner! Jas and Katie got sick so it was just Josh and Ash and Neal's Mom and Dad!! It was a great Christmas this year! First one in years we have not spent with my parents. I was really sad and dreading it, but it turned out to be a great day!!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! It was a great end to a great year! Looking forward to two thousand ten where my oldest turns ten (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......) and my baby turns five (DOUBLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA). There are some possible major changes for our fam coming up in the next year. Very excited and very nervous at the same time!!
Happy Holidays!!
