Christmas Part III

What a great Christmas it was. Saturday night Buddy's sisters and families came to our house. We ate and the older kids played "Dirty Santa" Before opening the presents the 4 boys decided they needed to have a wrestling match. It was quite entertaining. The boys were at a great age this year. Next year Makyna & Shelby will probably be right in the middle of them.

I hope everyone has had as good of a year as our family has in 2009. We are so blessed. Now it is time to start planning on next years camping and vacation times. Not sure which direction we will be going on vacation, maybe toward Charleston & Savannah. That is subject to change. When we travel we start out in a general direction and just go with the flow. That is the best way to travel. So until next year I leave you with yet more pics of Christmas.

The whole gang. Sorry for the tilt of the pic, the camera was on the back of the couch.

Before the kids opened their presents, they decided they needed to have a little WWF going on.

Christmas Part II

Christmas day was spent at home just relaxing. We waited on Jeremy to get in from the Air Force to have our Christmas at moms. So we had our Christmas at her house a day late, but it was worth it to wait on Jeremy to join us. We didn't get to see much of him, because he hadn't had much sleep for 2 days. As soon as he got through eating breakfast he went upstairs and took a nap. So, he missed the present opening and family pics. After leaving there, it was time to get home and continue our Christmas with the Sanford family. That will be the final blog on Christmas.

Christmas Part I

We had a great Christmas. The blog will be done in three parts. I know I posted a lot of pics, but it is so hard to choose. Christmas Eve was for our family. We ate dinner and then opened gifts. I got lots of nice things. What a great family we have been blessed with.

Trevor praying before we had dinner.

Let the gift opening begin. Nolen & Mitchell were being very patient, waiting on Trevor to open his present. He has to get every single piece of paper off of it.

Kristin wrapped Nolen & Trevor's presents in oatmeal & muffins boxes. When Nolen opened his he just threw it down. He thought it really was muffins, and as you can see from the look on Trevor he wasn't thinking too much about getting oatmeal for a present.

This is Mario Wii that I got for John, but I think Kristin was just as excited to get it. Opening their single cup coffee maker.

Craig & Jamie couldn't wait to open their coffee maker and fix them a cup or two or three. They will be on coffee overload the next few days.

This was suppose to be Mitchell's spiderman outfit, but John liked it better.

Double click on this one. Trevor looks a little loopy in this pic. So cute.

Shelby likes the Santa on my tree.
