Merry Christmas!

We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Last night was a fun evening filled with lots of food & drinks, laughter and great company. We got home from my cousins house sometime after midnight. The boys had both been sleeping very soundly after 10:00pm...we extended bed time unknowingly! The festivities started at about 7pm and for once we were the first guests to arrive. I had made some peppermint bark (for my first time) it didn't look that appealing, but was very delicious! I didn't make it to bed until about 2:30am and for Darren is was closer to 4am. Sometime there After Santa stopped in to fill the stockings and leave a few gifts for the children. We had quite a later awakening than usual when we rolled out of bed at about 8:30am. Braeden and Brooklynd were so very ecstatic about the gifts Santa had left that I opened most of their stockings. They were very blessed by many, many people. They got toys, pajamas, and many other things. It was Brooklynds very 1st Christmas, he did very well, still hasn't mastered the art of tearing the paper, I am sure he will get much more practice at his first birthday in less than a month! After our family opening festivities we showered and headed over to my parents. We let all of the kids open their gifts first as Kody was ancy to play with some kids next door and Braeden & Brooklynd were both nearing nap time! This sped the gift opening process up tremendously I think it's a tradition we will keep up! After all the gift giving and receiving we were all pretty tuckered. We started dinner and hung out for a while! My uncle Kevin came over for dinner which was great! My mom, Braeden and my sisters headed over to spend a bit of time with my grandma whom had decided not to join us at my parents house then home we went! It was a great Christmas for us and our babies, we hope you all had a great one!
