Uncle Lee & Taylor Swift

One of the things Uncle Lee got from Santa Claus was Taylor Swift's new CD "Fearless." And WOW do you see his expression? I think he has been waiting a long time for this and if I would have known he wanted it so bad and was so excited to get it, I would have bought it for him myself!!! I LOVE YOU -G-!!!

Uncle Mitch & Aunt Kiley's Gift Exchange

So the 2 lovebirds exchanged their gifts and I just have to say that they are so cute and funny. They really lighten up our lives and I hope that they had a wonderful first Christmas together. Love you two!!!

Bailyn's Blocks

Now I am sure that Bailyn does not get the meaning of Christmas, but she sure knows how to open presents. I was finding Christmas presents that were under the tree having little rips and tears before Christmas. With doing the 12 days of Christmas, she was constantly trying to get those books open. So on Christmas morning, when she finally got into, this is what we saw!!! She is my baby and obviously I think this is just so stinking cute!!!

Opening Presents

The girls throroughly enjoyed opening their Christmas present and definitely got spoiled this year. It was so much fun to watch them and see the excitement in their little eyes and bodies as it seems it just wasn't that long ago that I was experiencing that same excitement. I love the MAGIC of Christmas!

Santa Really Came

I think Kyleigh Rae was in a little bit of shock when she realized that Santa Claus really came. She was fun to watch and like I said, I don't really think Bailyn cared too much...yet!

Naughty or Nice!?!

Well I guess for the most part we were nice this year, since Santa did come...even when we were at Grandma and Grandpa's. Kyleigh Rae wanted an I-Pod this year, Bailyn didn't really care, and Joe & I wanted ROCK BAND...YEAH!!!

Christmas Eve at Grandma & Grandpa's

We arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's at about 9:30 or so and everyone was there. They were happy to see that we made it as early as we did. That evening Uncle Lance read the kids a story and Grandpa did the nativity. We had punch and snacks and it was very memorable.

What a wonderful time of year! I love being able to celebrate our Savior's birth and the spirit that comes along with the season. A season of hope, a season of giving, and most of all a season of LOVE. I want my family to know that this was a wonderful time for me to be able to be with all of my brothers and their families to celebrate this season.

Christmas Eve at Home

Mommy and Daddy both had to work on Christmas Eve, so we let the girls open their pajamas before Mommy went to work at 11:00 a.m. They were very excited to be opening a present this early in the day and afterwards, obviously thought that they could open more. We did the 12 days of Christmas for our girls this year and they were able to open a book before bedtime everyday for 12 days before Christmas. We also let them open their last book before I went to work. When I got off at 5:30 p.m. Joe went in until closing which he was able to leave at about 7:30. Then off we went to spend time at Grandma and Grandpa's for the rest of Christmas Eve and Christmas. Santa is coming soon!!!
