Oh HoW We LoVe~LoVe~LoVe ThIs TiMe Of YeAr!!!

ChRiStMaS!!!

So...before I get started I just have to say, I am SO sad because my memory card that has all my pics from basically after Halloween to right before Christmas wont work?!?!? Therefore I cannot pull any photos off of it, including lots of cute pics of my kiddos, Thanksgiving, & our recent trip to Montana right before Christmas:( I am going CRAZY!!! Anyways, as soon as I figure it out I will just post them a little late...

So now, BACK TO CHRISTMAS!

We had the best Christmas EVER! (Of coarse I say this every year) But this has been the first year for Braylee to be literally doing the Christmas countdown, understanding all about Santa Claus & being so excited cause she really gets what is soon to come. So it was so fun to watch her everyday as it got closer & closer!

So, on Christmas Eve we all just hung out at home did the normal stuff like baking cookies, playing games, opening christmas jamies, watching a christmas movie, ect. & then by the time it was time for bed (around midnight) I thought Bray was going to have a heart-attack with all her excitement, with the boys egging it on of coarse, telling her all about how Santa comes & she has to be asleep or he wont fill her stocking :) It was so cute!

So then in the morning, we got lucky the kids slept in till 9 WAHOO!!! Then they litterally raced to the stockings & we had a hay day with stockings & gifts for awhile then Uncle TJ came over & hung out for a while & brought the kids gifts & Jason came in with suprise bags for me & the kids (he did his own little shopping on christams eve...SO SWEET!!) the kids lLOVED IT!!! Then I made a big breakfast for us all (country fried steak & eggs of coarse Jay fave!!) then we played games & hung out for a while & then the boys went to their moms & we headed to my Mom's for an early dinner, gift exchanges & our family tradition "Rice-kispie Trees" Then around 9ish we picked up the boys & went back home to hang out some more (until about midnight again:) SUCH A FUN DAY!!!!
