New Comforter

Aunt Jenny & Jessie bought Darby a new comforter. I took a few pictures with Darby in her new bed.  She loves it! 

Andresen Christmas Brunch

This year Roy & Vicki hosted our Andresen Christmas. We decided to have it on the saturday after Christmas and they had a brunch. There was delicious food and great company, as is usually the case.  It was especially fun to have Jaxon & Jace there.  The two boys were a great addition to our crew. 

We ate food, sang Christmas Carols and had our usual White Elephant Gift Exchange. 

Darby & Jaxon are only a few months apart. 

Singing Videos.  These are terrible but I know the aunts who missed out on it will truly appreciate every single second of it (including Uncle Butch's yawn).

Another wonderful time with our family.  We are blessed!

Christmas Day

After our relaxing morning at home we left our presents and mess and headed down to Papa Bob's house.  It was nice so the kids played outside for a little bit.  (Although the grass was freshly mowed -- in the middle of December-- and it was a little muddy.  It's ok because I would trade muddy clothes for fresh air).

Grandma Shari had some stuff to decorate cookies.  The kids enjoyed this. 

Bo working on his football skills. 

We put on a movie for the kids and then played a fun game with the Adults.  Its a game called Heads Up and its a phone app.  (Highly recommended by me)

We also played Left, Right, Center.   It was the first time I have really played it since I'm usually needed by the kids. 

Brad was the winner.....twice!  Not sure if we will be invited back. 

Brody & Colt wanted to play so we had another round with quarters.   

Colt won!!!  Not sure if we will be invited back.

He was so happy he almost started crying. 

It was such a nice, relaxing and enjoyable Christmas Day.  The only thing that could have made it better was if our whole family was there. 

Christmas Morning

We got home really late Christmas Eve. The kids were already crashed out in the car. But of course they were up nice and early anxious to open their presents. Once all the kids were awake we opened presents.  But first we had to get a picture in front of the tree. 

The kids didn't have a ton of stuff but it didn't look like it after we were done.   

What a mess!  A wonderful mess of happiness!  

Christmas Eve

After our service at church we went to Uncle Brian & Aunt Angie's. They hosted another delicious dinner. 

The kids had a blast playing with Abi & Andrew and of course opening up some presents.
