It's Christmas Time!!

Christmas Morning- opening presents from Santa.








A bit later in the morning, my sister, brother and mom came over and we had breakfast.  Chris made waffles on his new waffle maker & we ate them up!


Tiff & Joey

Opening a few more gifts!






We had the Townsend's over for a late lunch for Christmas Day.




I didn't take many pictures because everyone gets tired of it!  We enjoyed a great meal and a few people stayed and played games.  After most everyone left, mom, Brandee and I watched New Moon- my Christmas present!  

After they all left, Chris and the boys and I watched Toy Story 3 and had a big sleep-over in the family room in front of the Christmas tree.  What a great way to end a busy, fun Christmas!

Christmas Eve!

After spending the day with the Sterne's we went to Christmas Eve Service at Palmcroft with my mom, Tiff, Joey & the kids, and Timmy & Nikki.  After church we went to look at Christmas lights at the Rix brothers house off of 29th Ave and Greenway.  We have been going to this house every year for years!  This will be his last year that he opens his home, so it was extra special to be able to tour it.



Nikki & Timmy

Kayla, Justin, Ethan & Loga

This is mom with the owner of the house.


We headed over to Auntie Anne & Uncle Mark's house to spend Christmas Eve with the Townsend's. 


Timmy was cracking me up!  I was giving him a hard time about how I don't have hardly any pictures of him and Nikki.  So he starts goofing around and I get this! : ) It was so funny!

After we left the Townsend's, we had to finish making preperations for Santa's visit!  We left out Sparkly Oatmeal and carrots for the reindeer.....

And cookies & milk for Santa.  Mrs. Claus had told us that sugar cookies are his favorite, so that's what we left!  Logan left a note too!


Merry Christmas Eve!


Christmas with the Sterne's

The last few years we have celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve with Chris's family.   We continued this tradition with Christmas Eve at Jim and Rochelle's house.  They had beautiful tables set and we feasted on Mexican food!  Yummy!
