Christmas Festivities

Jeff & I spent the night at my parent's house on Christmas Eve.

Last year after Christmas, my mom got these cute Christmas socks for all of us girls to wear this year & gave them to us on Christmas Eve.

 

 

When Jeff was in Vegas at a Reptile Show, he bought 2-headed gummy snakes for Matthew & Maggie.

We let them open them on Christmas Eve.

We could tell Maggie was a little disappointed...she thought it was disgusting.

Matthew liked his though.

 Yes, those are gummy rats in their mouths.

 He also got one for Saxon & Bridger and we took it over on Christmas day. They loved it! Especially Bridger.

Pictures of them here.

Later that night, while my parents were upstairs wrapping presents, Melinda, Maggie & I played cards and Marsh & Jeff fell asleep on the couch. How boring are they?!

 

 

Maggie woke us all up the next morning at 7:00 am.

Santa Clause came & spoiled us all.

Husband did not enjoy being up so early on a Holiday.

 

 When we got him some food & started opening presents, he was more excited :)

We got so many awesome gifts. We're so lucky to have such amazing family.

My new crock pot! Love it!

This was funny...Maggie gave Jeff Little Caesars gift certificates & 2 oranges.

She knows him well :)

Some other gifts Jeff & I got......

 

 

 

 

My parents got us this new vacuum!

I was very excited because the one we had before...not so awesome.

Here is Jeff's gift from his awesome wife :)

(That I gave him at home because it was too much of a hassle to take to my parents)

Jeff & I found this snuggie for dogs at Walgreen's & had to buy it for Wilson.

It's a little small, but will fit him better when he gets his hair cut.

Some gifts the rest of my family got.....

 

 

 

 

Jeff's parents sent me this new coat & Marsh felt the need to try it on.

So pretty.

My dad made us breakfast.

We had bacon, eggs & muffins, then we played the new Wii games my family got.

 

My mom even played Mario Kart :)

 

 The family also got Toy Story Mania (from the ride at California Adventure) SO FUN!

Later that afternoon, Jeff & I went over and hung out at Caitlin & Nate's for a few hours. We had fun talking and playing with the boys' new Christmas toys :)

They gave us a George Foreman Grill for Christmas & I absolutely love it!

Everyone needs one of these things!

We went back to my parent's for Christmas dinner of ham & potatoes.

Then played some games.

What a fun day.

We are so thankful for this Christmas season to remember & celebrate the birth of our Savior.

And for the time we were able to spend with friends & family.
