Family Christmas

Our family Christmas dinner and gift exchange went well. We all played nice together and there were lots of gifts and thanks given. Here are a few of the many pictures that we (me and Mike) took from the event. You will notice a very cute reoccurring baby in a lot of the pictures. The camera did seem to follow her around most of the night!

Babies flock to Chelsie (and she loves it!).

Brooke was showing off her hard work wrapping Shaylie's present.

You'll notice that Brooke has the toy and Shaylie doesn't look happy...

Now Shaylie has the toy and Brooke's trying to defend her bow!

You'd better be good, Santa Sam is watchin' you!

Grandma's singing tree got a hat (and unplugged) when she wasn't looking.

Ryan and Andrew doing karate...

While Grandpa and Grandma were slaving away in the kitchen!

Brooke didn't like the rolls. (Thank you Josh for giving her one to play with!)

Mike brought his guitar to try to help our singing Christmas carols sound a little better.

Allie was bored, so she started reading...

the Webster's Dictionary!

Grandma's indestructible wrapping paper kept the girls plenty busy.

The BYU victory shirt had to find its was to Sam!

The guys were all jealous they weren't getting princess dresses and stickers!

Grandpa and Grandma kept me and Chelsie plenty busy trying to help the girls unwrap a ton of presents!

Brooke just really liked the paper.

Eryn went right for the "Princess Dresses" and squealed. (She's been trying to talk me into letting her wear it around the house just because it's cute.)

Grandma with her granddaughters!

All of the girls gave Grandpa and Grandma lots of hugs! They were so excited to see all of the great things they had given them for Christmas.

Eryn and Allie did some victory dancing in the kitchen.

When everything was all said and done Grandma was asleep on the love seat. Oh wait, I mean that Grandma was sitting on the couch resting her eyes for a moment... Yeah...

Like I said before, we were all glad to be together and have our family Christmas. Due to distances though there were a few who were missed. Please know that you were thought of and are loved by all of us!

Even devious little Curtis who gave Eryn finger paints for Christmas. He he he... Once I get up the courage to get those out that will make for some great blogging!
