Christmas Day

I hope you all had a great Christmas. Yesterday was such a busy day. We woke up around 8 o'clock to see what Santa had brought us. Then it was off to my dads and then to Mema's.

Here is a picture of all of us grandchildren at Mema's

Every year since we were little Santa has paid us a visit at Aunt Johni's. With Santa's schedule getting busier every year, Big has decided to fill in as his elf.

Allyson Lake and I got a pocket book!!

We love pocket books.

Us girls with Mema and Big

It has always been a tradition to open at least one present on Christmas Eve. This year we talked Mom into letting us open all the presents under the tree; so tomorrow it's only Santa gifts for us. Here is a picture of the three of us with our hot chocolate!

Now....it's off to bed so we can wake up to see what Santa brings us!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!

From My House to Yours

I wish you all a Merry Christmas!! Hope Santa is good to all of you.

Here is a picture of my Christmas Tree. I am going to be sad when I have to take down all my decorations. I love this time of year when I can just sit in my den with all the lights off except the Christmas lights.

It is my hope that we all remember the reason we celebrate this season!!

Our Little Visitor

Tonight Brad and I kept Connor for a little while because Stacey and Bryan needed to finish some Christmas shopping. I was excited when Stacey called to ask if we could keep him. I don't know why I get soooo excited b/c he is stuck up Brad's tail. Here are just a couple of pictures to prove my point.

Yes, he chose Brad over me to feed him!

Passed OutIn case you didn't know...They are best buddies!!

Friday night was our 8th Annual Christmas Party. Elizabeth and I have been doing this party since our Junior year in college. We look forward to this party every year. The count down for next year has begun! Here are pictures from our party. Excuse some of the pictures, I don't know why my camera decides it would like to put these white circles in pictures!
