We had a very fun-filled, family-oriented Christmas! There are a lot of pictures, so I probably won't write a whole lot on this post. I just like looking at pictures, so I hope they will suffice.
Steve and I woke up Christmas morning and opened gifts from each other. I think we both spoiled each other this year.
Then we went to my parents house around 11:30. The Harris's, Monica, Amberly, mom, dad, and us hung around until the Copes and the Clarks got there. Amberly and Owen busted through the curtain that my parents hang in the doorway every year; they even opened a couple presents before everyone got there, they just couldn't wait any longer.
Once everyone got there, we opened our sister/brother-in-law/cousin presents (in other words who we drew names for). The adults were in a drawing together and the kids were in a drawing together. The reason Steve is laughing so hard in that picture is because two days ago, we went to Borders cause Amy had a 40% off coupon and he's been into history books lately, so we went and he bought a book. Turns out, it was the exact same book that Angela had bought him! That is pretty much how our Christmas went this year, but oh well!
I got a really cute shirt and a boom box from Dave. Please take note of the picture of Alexa (bottom middle picture) and the GIANT sleeper she got! She keeps growing, but every year my mom somehow finds a sleeper to fit her (still not really sure why).
At about 2:30, we left my parent's house and went out to Steve's parents house for dinner. It was a very nice meal. We had Thanksgiving dinner and it was delicious! After eating and cleaning up, we opened gifts. The kids all loved their presents. It was fun to watch the kids open their presents.
Vaughn made Kohler and Marshall saw horses and gave them nails and a hammer to go with so they can practice their carpentry. The sawhorses are so cute. Kohler worked hard on his while Marshall just wanted to ride his.
When we were done there, we headed back to my parent's house for the rest of the night. Christmas is never-ending with my family; it's great!
The kids all got a Nintendo DS and a couple games., which they wouldn't put down the second they got them. Steve got new riding gear and modeled for us. I got a Cricut that I can't wait to try!
It was a very Merry Christmas! Thank you everyone for the fun memories and happy holidays! We love you!
