Christmas with the Brown's and Christmas Night!

Christmas Day we went to Shane's parents and had a great time!! The kids opened MANY presents and had a blast playing with Sterling! Nana cooked an awesome lunch and everything was warm and cozy...see how Shane and Bree made themselves at home =)...










We ended our Christmas festivities at Mom and Jake's for Mexican food!! It was a great end to a absolutely wonderful Christmas!!! The kids PASSED out!!!


Christmas Morning!!!!

Christmas morning was so much fun!! We woke up to the greatest, it was a White Christmas!!! The kids were so excited, but most of all because Santa came!! Owen got exactly what he wanted: REAL golf clubs (left handed), a sleeping bag, football, soccer ball and candy! Claire got exactly what she wanted: a vanity (it is the cutest spinning wardrobe), a bench for her vanity, make up, snowglobes, and a sleeping bag! Bree got a bunch of clothes, pjs, and her first toys!! Bree did wake up with yucky eyes on Christmas morning, but she didn't care, it was Christmas =)! We had so much fun watching the kids and felt like it doesn't get much better than that! After the kids had fun with their stuff, we walked over to Mom and Jake's, in the snow, and had breakfast and opened gifts there. One of Owen's favorite gifts there, a tackling dummy! Claire was so excited to get her very own hair dryer and curling iron and a pink leopard fur coat! Seriously, I will never forget this Christmas forever, it really was so great! Thank the Lord for these 3 beautiful kids!!!

























Christmas Eve!!!

Christmas was our best yet this year!!! The older kids really got into it and LOVED it!! We went to our Church's candlelight service first that night. It was beautiful and great being there with our friends and family! Afterwards, all of my side of the family came back to my house to eat a big dinner, exchange gifts, and prepare for Santa!!!
