We spent Christmas with our Dallas family this year. Although Amber and Logan couldn't make it in this year because of a giant snow storm that dumped about 4 feet of snow on Denver, the rest of the family was still able to get together and enjoy a long Christmas Eve together.
Here's the run down on the day:
We got up slowly that morning and the kids danced around in the PJs enjoying some quality time with Mims and Pa. They were very surprise to see Herman the Elf had traveled to Mims and Pa's from the North Pole to check on them. They spent the morning trying to find him in the house. He had moved from the wreath over the fireplace to the top of the kitchen cabinets during the night. He's a tricky elf! I snapped a quick pic of Lyle and the kids. I think this was actually the night before.
Here they are in front of the tree before they went to bed.
Then the cousins arrived and the excitement was at an all time high! Christmas was officially here!!
Here they are waiting patiently for their first present. We couldn't make them wait any longer!!
Ready...set...open!
The girls! They had a blast together! You should have heard the squeals when they both opened the same Ken doll with the same set of clothes!
Mims got her granddaughters very special pandora bracelets that they can add to as they get older. It was sweet and Ella has put hers in a safe spot in her room.
We got Brooks and Blake a big giga ball for Christmas. Here are some pics of the boys playing in it in the backyard.
And here's a picture of the adults deflating the ball because it popped not long after they started playing in it and I wanted to take it back to the store so they could get a new one. I was very disappointed.
It was a fantastic Christmas Eve. We ended the day with a visit from our Aunt Kathy and Uncle Jimmy and cousins Derek and Kari with their kids Hannah and Mason. It was really nice of them to stop by and great to see them.
We love all you guys and were so happy to spend Christmas Eve with you!!
