Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve was such a fun day! Besides the fact

that Derrick had to work, but luckily he only 

works half days on Mondays

Moving the candy cane to 1 more day till Christmas! =)

When Derrick got home, we hurried and ate lunch.

Then went outside to play in the snow. My mom

gave us a cute snowman set, so we

had to build a snowman!

Here's our cute snow man!

Here's our cute kids! =)

We had 2 parties to go to that night. First, is

my family party at my grandma's house. Here's my 

kids all ready to go party. =)

She climbed on the couch and folded her arms.

Opening gifts from cousins and from great

 grandma and grandpa!

Then we headed over to Teresa's house. Where the kids

got to open more gifts, and we got pretty spoiled there!

She's just too cute! =)

Shaylie and Paytin

Opening presents!

He's too funny! One of a kind, just like his

shirt says! =)

This is what she did when I told her

I wanted to take a picture of her in her pajamas. =)

Then we went home. Derrick read The Night 

Before Christmas, to our kids. 

Then we put cookies out for Santa.

Santa came and even left his hat! 

Lowynn was telling a story of how Santa would

come, and Lowynn would come down stairs and

see him and he would give him his hat. So, we decided

to do this. He thought it was pretty cool! =)

Parties, Parties, & More Parties!

First, was a Christmas party with my dad's side of the family. 

We were asked to have it at our house. It was a lot

of fun getting together and visiting with that side

of my family, because I hardly ever get to see them!

My cousins baby, Ava.

She loved the lip balm!

Second, was at Derrick's dad's house. It was more of 

a get together, then a Christmas party, but we still

called it one. =) It was December 22, and started off our

 busy 4 day schedule! It was fun spending time with everyone.

Derrick and Stewart entertained us with their beautiful

music. =) It was fun listening to them. I always love when

Derrick  plays his guitar and sings! 

Lowynn took my camera for a little bit, these were the

pictures he took. He's pretty good!

Stewart's first attempt at playing the drums. 

& he did a good job!

Then I had to take a picture of him. =)

Oddessey love's Chris and Paul's turtle, Crush.

She was there half the night.

My pretty girl!

My handsome little man!

They wanted to have a turn. =)

Third, was on the 23, and was at Derrick's dad, Jay and

his wife's house. They had Santa come, and Oddessey

was the only one who wouldn't sit on his lap. Which is 

weird, since she sat on his lap just fine earlier in the month.

Jay and Tracy completely spoiled us and our kids! It 

was a fun night filled with family! 

Brandie's son, Jayden.

Brandie's daughter, Shaylie.

Karree's daughter, Paytin.

Lowynn

Kind of pouting, because we tried to make her

sit on Santa's lap. =)

Then the next day was filled with even more parties! =)
