Christmas

Christmas Eve at our house always includes new Pajama's. Everyone ALWAYS loves getting new jammies, RIGHT? Well, everyone except Luke. He was not very happy with the jammies he received. So unhappy that he REFUSED to wear them. I forced him to wear them for a picture...and he would not even smile. I guess he thought he was to old for Iron Man jammies.

My mom was surprised by her 72 hour kit. She wasn't sure she could even carry it because Steve did a great job of packing it full of all the essential things she would ever need.

Here we all are gathered on the steps. Our family is growing so quickly. Growing up there was just 6 of us cousins and 8 adults. Now we are bursting! Literally, Melinda is expecting twins in a few months.

Uncle Jeff ;), Nate and Little Addie!

After we opened presents and enjoyed each others toys we drove to Vegas to see our family there. It is so much fun to see everyone during the holiday's. It really brings back many great memories from my childhood. This year everyone was able to attend the gift exchange and Aunt Lynne's yummy chili.

All of the Christian boys just chillin out. It was a special treat to have Burkeley spent the Christmas Day with us. He has been kina AWOL for the past few year but lateley he has been spending tons of time with us. He is an awesome big brother and the boys really look up to him. He keep the peace when he is around. He will be graduating from High School this May and is not quite sure what the future will bring but for now we love having him as an example for the boys.

My mom and I spend ALOT of time shopping together. We sometimes pick out the same clothes and this Christmas we picked out the same outfit to wear on Chrismas Day...without planning it!
