Christmas Fun 2008

Well we had a very busy, but fun, Christmas! We had Christmas eve with Nana and Papa. My parents and brother Mike joined in the fun as well. Amy made her wonderful sugar cookies for the kids to decorate for Santa.

Sue gave all the grand kids pj's and had a polar express night for them!


The next morning the boys woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed. Brent and I were out cold at 8:30 when I heard Luke and Zach going through their stockings. I love to get a pic of them before they have seen the tree and presents, so we marched them back up stairs and woke up Kate. They were so excited! I feel like it was a perfect Christmas in the present department because they didn't leave feeling like they wanted more, and I don't feel like they got so many things that there is a constant mess. Austin said the funniest thing when he pulled new underwear out of his stocking from Santa "How embarrassing". He is sure growing up!

Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Mike came for brunch that morning. We had Creme Brulee French Toast, Sausage Casserole and fruit. Uncle Mike brought these funny mustaches for the boys. I thought they were pretty funny!


A couple of days later we took the kids over to Nana's to go sledding behind the 4 wheeler. We definitely have enough snow for all kinds of sledding.


Finally we had another party with Brent's cousins the Paiges. We don't get to see them enough so that was a lot of fun to get together with them!

It has been a great Christmas holiday--lots of food and family!
