Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was a lot of fun! I don't really have any pictures because I worked both Christmas Eve and Christmas, so the computer was in my hands not the camera. But I got to work from home both days so I didn't miss out on much of anything. Christmas Eve started out at the Cherry's where we had dinner, played apples to apples, and watched movies. Then like every year we opened one gift. (Whoohoo New Christmas PJs!) During the month of December Jason kept telling Kylee that she was going to get coal from Santa Clause. Christmas Eve Jason opened the gift from Kylee. She handed him the little wrapped gift and just started giggling. If her hands were not over her mouth I don't think she could have contained herself. As he pulled the paper off it became VERY apparent why she was laughing so hard. She had given him a bag of Chocolate Coal. Too Funny!

That night Nick and I headed over to Mom & Dad's house. We opened up another gift as a family that is always a children's book to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas, and the Savior's birth. (Mom always gets a book that has a CD with it so the kids can listen to the story again as they go to sleep.) After Mom finished reading the book everyone headed downstairs to bed so Santa could come.

Nick and I decided to sleep over since it would be a lot easier to just wake up with them, and sure enough 5:30am rolled along and I was being tapped by brothers and sisters wanting me to get up so we could all go up and see what Santa had brought.

Everyone got more than what they asked for. Santa even brought me a Video Camera so we have something to tape the baby with, and brought Nick some new rock climbing gear.

Later Christmas morning we headed over to Nicks parents to see what the boys got. They all got remote control helicopters.

We ended up getting Nate and Alex some nurf guns for Christmas. Here is the highlight....Those nerf guns were used to shoot down enemy helicopters for about 2 hours that night. The boys had a blast. I am sure Santa enjoyed watching $40 helicopters being shot down but hey, none got broken and as you can see.....boy did they have fun!

Brought out the little boy in my MAN! :) Too funny and gotta' admit pretty cute. :)

We had a great Christmas break spending time and having a blast with Family.
Cant wait til next year when we have a little one of our own to spoil (a little) :D
