Christmas Eve

After Christmas Eve Mass, we headed to Norwich to spend Christmas Eve with Cody's family. It is always crazy fun when you get 10 grandkids together . It reminds me of the movies where everyone is running around.

Christmas Eve Day

The kiddos could hardly wait for Christmas. When Cohen woke up I jokingly told him to stop smiling...he smooshed his lips together really hard and tried and then busted out laughing saying "I just can't! I am soooo excited." It was the longest day ever according to Miayla.





I caught the kiddos kissing on Sawyer













Cheesers













Ashley and Chris came and met Sawyer, and brought the kiddos presents too (they are super sweet like that)

Miayla decorating her princess mirror.

Cody and Cohen painting his train.

Both kiddos wanted to add these things to their Christmas list but I informed them that the sleigh was already packed!

18th Annual Cookie Day

Ever since I was 7 years old, my siblings my mom and her sisters (Patty, Robi, Anita) and their kids (Chris, Nae, Amanda, Josh, and Levi) have gotten together the saturday before Christmas for "COOKIE DAY". We make every kind of cookie you can think of and lots of other tasty treats. It is really neat that even though we are grown up now, we still carry on the tradition, and for my sister and me, we get to now share it with our kiddos. The decorating of the sugar cookies is the most fun and this year the boys (Bomber, T, and Josh) took the prize for most creative with Christmas shaped cookies turned into things such as a sombrero, a fish, someone falling into a pond, baby Jesus, .... just to name a few:) I LOVE my family and spending time with them!

Christmas card photo shoot

So taking this years Christmas card was quite difficult...I was reminded why we never go and have them professionally done! Here are five of the 26:)

Miayla informed us she didn't want to be in the Christmas card so it was just us 4:)

My little reindeer:)
