Christmas 2014...and GO!

Christmas is a jam packed day for us. We squeezed 3 Christmas celebrations into one short day. 

As usual the day was over before we knew it.

The kids did a spend-the-night in Bryce's room so once I heard whispers coming from his room I went in to get Bryce going on the vest. Some families may rush downstairs to see if Santa came to visit, but not us. Treatments come first at our house so everyone patiently waits why Bryce does his thing. Finally it was time to see if Santa came and indeed he did. 

After all the chaos of seeing what Santa left and sorting through their stockings we sat down to a nutritious Entenmann's donut breakfast. 

Next up we open the gifts under the tree. From there we rushed to get everyone ready to head over to my aunt Carole's house for one of my favorite meals of the year (her Thanksgiving meal is my other favorite). The kids opened gifts and we just enjoyed spending time with each other chatting. Last but not least we booked it over to Bryan's parents house for our last celebration of the day with his family. By the time we made it home we were exhausted. The day was perfect and I'm always a little bummed when it's over, but let's be real...Christmas 2015 will be here before we know it since time flies these days.

 Nice List

 

 

 

Santa could have only brought this one gift and skipped the stocking. There could have been zero presents under the tree and he would have been completely okay with it. 

He really could have cared less about anything else. 

He loves that Kindle!

 

 She named her AG "look-alike" doll Brooke. 

 Galactic Empire wallet. 

Umm...awesome!

Perfect timing since my old phone was starting to not cooperate with me. 

 World's Best Mom magnet...LOVE IT!

 I think she likes what's in that box!

 She's been begging to read these so we decided it was time. 

 He wasn't expecting this! 

 

 

 

 

 

 This turned out a little fuzzy...bummer. 

And why is Sydney almost as tall as me?

 Mom had all sorts of little knitted items all over her sweater in honor of my dear grandmother who made them. And my brother, umm well...he was in the festive spirit as well with that sweater. 

Again with the prom pose. 

Sorry mom, I know you don't like this photo, but everyone else thinks it's funny.

I hope you all had a merry little Christmas!!
