our babies on christmas eve.
it was a wonderful christmas this year and all of us got spoiled. the favorite gifts this year for trevan were a watch, clothing, and a biking hat. i loved myself some new clothing, my favorite perfume, and a new watch. jude's favorites included his leapster 2, jabba the hut, and many other action figures. greta loves her dollhouse and loads of accessories, princess phone, and any food/candy that was within reaching distance. i hope we can spoil our kids every year but our new tradition of 3 gifts from santa (remember jesus got 3 gifts?) will insure that santa will always be able to come through, even in the lean years.
AFTER our own little christmas morning we headed to yaya's for brunch. we were too busy exchanging gifts, eating yummies, and snuggling on the couch to take decent pictures.
(and for the record greta looked totally amazing in her christmas sweatsuit but she is kind of disgusting when she eats so this is what we have to deal with)
AND AFTER yaya's we came home for a long winters nap and then drove down to nannie's for christmas dinner. yet again, no real pictures were taken to document the day. it was (as always) muy beuno and (as always) really crazy with kids. the problem lies in the 6 kids under 4, and the majority of them being under the age 2. i think paige was rethinking her pregnancy or at least rethinking ever coming home to add her own baby into the mix. the kids love each other but sometimes it gets out of hand. between the adults yelling so grandma billie can hear us and the kids yelling just to be heard.... its a lot. that being said, it was wonderful. my mom's house is always home to me and i sort of always feel bad that i still don't live at home so i can keep her christmas's the same but i guess we all have to grow up and start our own families.
hope your christmas was merry and bright....
(p.s. christmas eve with scary santa and his bride will be posted later... my camera was dead)
