MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Merry Christmas! It seems like we just had it and now here it is again! I LOVE Christmas! So here's your warning, there are A LOT of pictures ahead! Here is my mum and dad's house on Christmas Eve before we headed home... We went to be after midnight and the alarm went off at 4:45 bright and early!!

I love Christmas morning with my cute hubby. Santa brings us lots of fun stuff. We are so very lucky and spoiled!

Justin was so excited about his Real Jersey!

And his brand new Maui Jim sunglasses! Yay!

All our loot! Man we are lucky. I am lucky! Justin is SUCH a good gift buyer!!

Look at my cute new P.J.s! I also got clothes, jewelry, cute rain boots, a new coat... and an automatic car starter for my car! I cannot wait for that beauty to be installed! Thanks babe for all the WONDERFUL and thoughtful presents. I am so dang lucky.

Look what Santa brought the kiddies!!! This is Roxy and she is VERY loved. I don't think she was even put down Christmas day.

Ryder (and everybody else) was pooped! We all woke up SO early! We had to be done with our own Christmas mornings and to my folks house by 7 for Avery to call... probably the best present of all!

We opened our presents from Avery while we were on the phone with him. I got a cute Panama bracelet that I love!

Dad got a tie that matches one Avery has. They are going to wear them on fast Sunday's and when Avery has a baptism. Such a cute tradition!

Ryder and I in our matching Monkey jammies. Don't mind my ugliness! Christmas day is just not a pretty day for me... EVER! I need my beauty sleep!

Ryder got a stuffed turtle from O. Bear and he loved it! It was so cute!

Ellie and Kannon- while talking to Avery- eating the traditional Christmaas morning breakfast. Omlettes!!! Hash browns!!! Yummy!!!

The big reveal of our gift to the widgets! Justin did such a great job making my idea a reality! He is such a handy man. The kids LOVE our teepee! Ryder is a little nervous of being inside with the door closed but hey.

Ryder got tired of opening presents so he just relaxed on his lawn chair AKA Justin.

Gug gave the kids skateboards!

We FINALLY came up with a gift that my dad didn't have. He loves his Giants jersey

Are you kidding me?!?! Are these not the cutest shoes ever?? My mom is such a good shopper! Thank YOU!

My beautiful present I wrapped. This is what the last gift gets when all the wrapping paper is gone! The scraps.

Gug is a teaser!!

The kids opening Grandma and Grandpa's BIG present...

A SWINGSET!!!! They were SO excited!

Justin got a Color NOOK which I don't think he has put down since Christmas, and I am using my gift right now... typing this on my new LAPTOP! Yay! So thankful (mine crashed a couple weeks ago and all my photos and music.. gone :( ). We are SOOO blessed! We were absolutely spoiled! More than anything we were blessed to be with our families. Having Nicholas home for Christmas, getting to talk to Avery on the Phone... and spending time with Justin's WHOLE family. We coudn't be more thankful and we couldn't be more happy. Merry Christmas to all and happy birthday to our big brother Jesus, thanks to his ultimate gift we get to be with those we love FOREVER. That is truly the best gift in the world. Merry Christmas!!
