First we spent Christmas Eve with my family. I had to work that day until 3, and then we came home and got ready to go to Gradma Lyndies. We made it there about 4 and the fun began! We played games, ate food (obviously), opened a few presents, and talked a lot. Everyone (that lives in Utah) was able to make it there that night, so it was definately a full house. The last game we played before leaving at 11 was Aquire. Now I only mention this because, I WON! Sweet! We got the kids home and in bed so that we could finish up with everything else we needed to do.
Then it was Christmas! Since the kids were up so late, they stayed asleep until 8:30 (bonus!) And then the crazy unwrapping insued! It was fun, because Shay understood Santa, and was really excited to unwrap her gifts from him. The kids got real "kid-tough" cameras, stuffed dogs, sweaters, a baby and a doodle pro. Shay wears her camera around her neck all the time and has a blast taking pictures.
Jeff got a work out video, pull up bar, and shoes!
And me??? I got the bestest, most awesomest present of all! A brand new Digital SLR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even tell you how awesome it is to have a good quality SLR in my hands again! I can't put my camera down either. It can't take a bad picture. So, if anyone wants some pictures taken, let me know! I just want to take tons of pictures and see all the things it can do. Ahh.
Then we went to Jeff's parents for the rest of the day. Mat cooked us an awesome meal! Better than Thanksgiving, even. We opened some more presents and mostly hung around the house, played some games, and watched movies and TV. All in all, we had a fantastic Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Jamie and family!!!! So exciting about your new camera. I do wish you lived closer so you could take some pics of my kiddos.
owen is so darling--even with food in his mouth! the kids are getting so big!
Are you for hire? Cause I never take pictures anymore, I've seemed to have forgotten how to do it. It might help if I had a totally awesome camera.
