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.

Charlie Brown ICE

We went to Charlie Brown ICE tonight. The first year we went it was just Nolen. The theme was about Trains (which he loved). The next year we went it was The Grinch. Last year it was the Grinch again so we didn't go. This year we took the kids and the grandson's. Miss Shelby stayed home with Aunt Susie. The boys really liked the slide but it is so cold in there you don't stand in line for the big slide, just take the short one. It would be nice if you could take your time and walk through it slow but since everything is made of ICE and it is 6 degrees in there, you tend to walk through, take quick pics and keep moving. They give out these blue coats to wear when you go in, and it is hard to tell the kids apart since they are bundled up. I got them mixed up with other kids a time or two. I'll identify them throughout the pics. Nolen has the brown scarf around his face & Mitchell has the White mask on, Trevor has on red gloves.

Ice Angel Nativity Scene

Hard to believe our little Shelby is 3 months old already. She is starting to really look like Mitchell when he was a baby.
