Christmas Morning

This morning we all got up and came downstairs at 7:45. We had to wake Ryan up, and actually Jason forgot about him at first, but quickly remembered and went up to get him. Austin and Layla were excited about all the presents from Santa and also the presents under the tree. We hadn't put any presents under the tree until Christmas Eve, evening. The kids got a table and chairs, and a little tykes kitchen with foods and cooking things. Jason got a massage chair. We took turns trying it out. I got a saphirre ring under the tree, which I am also trying out. Ryan got a musical table which he loved. Austin and Layla also got thre wheeled scootes, new sheets and comforters (Austin got spiderman, Layla got princesses). There were lots of other fun toys. The best part of the morning was when Austin said, "Families never, ever end!" I know that is true!

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Eve Jammies

One of our family traditions, that we adopted from the Crowl family, is getting one present on Christmas Eve. That present always happens to be jammies. So when we go to bed on Christmas Eve you are wearing new comfy pjs. Here are some of us in our new jammies!

Christmas Eve after Santa

Santa came early on Christmas Eve. He even let me take a few pictures when he was done!

Oh, Christmas Tree!

We have two Christmas trees in our house. We have one that goes in the front window and one in the family room. Usually we put the fake one in the front and get a real one to put in the family room. This year we put the fake one in the family room until we could get a real one.
We went to Walmart and found that the real trees were $50-60!! We decided to look inside and see how much a fake one would be . We ended up getting a fake on for $80.
When we got home from church the next day Jason got the new tree out and found out that it had colorful lights. (I prefer white lights, our other tree has white lights.) So anyway, I decided that I wanted the old tree to be moved into the front and put the new tree up in the living room. After some fighting Jason dragged the tree through the house and put it where I wanted it!

On the Move

This is just a little clip I have of Ryan taking a step...it is more of a leap forward, but it is still so cute. Let me know if you get to see it.
