What a fun busy time. I love all the family parties and things that we do to celebrate Christmas. We had our Udall Cousin gift exchange. This is most of the married cousins... I just love them.
Then after the party we decided to look at light in a neighborhood and saw this set up where this sweet old couple totally decorate their house and sit outside and let kids come tell them what they want for Christmas. We were just going to drive by but both kids wanted to get out.
Then we have one of Shaun's family parties. I love this because Leann (Shaun's Mom) has all the nativity dress ups and the kids love acting it out each year. Ryker of course always wants to be an animal. This year he was the donkey.
Since Doug is a fireman's and usually is on duty Christmas day we have always celebrated Christmas with them on Christmas Eve. We always get matching PJs then open presents. Well this year Nolan the Policeman (yes we are a very protected family with a cop and fireboy) and he had to be on duty at 4pm so we got in our PJs around noon and opened gifts and had a big Christmas feast. What a fun day.
Christmas Morning...Risen' Shine....Ryker woke up at 6:30. He was so excited and ran into our room "Mom, Dad SANTA CAME!!!!!" It took us about 30 mins to finally want to wake Millie up and she woke up with a smile.
Beautiful morning faces. =) I know I know you all wished you looked as good as me in the morning hu??
Rykers loot: Video watch, Buzz boots, Dragon thing, Alien game, Diego dress ups, Army guys and storage house for them, Buzz cartoon movie
Millies loot: Dora stuff, my little ponies, princess chair, kitty kitty, laughing elmo, little people, mini van
Then after we got ready we headed over to my families house for a big breakfast. I didn't get a family picture =(
We thought this was funny....after they opened their gifts Amelia went and got one of her presents she got last year and she loves when my mom dances and sings with her...they were putting on a show for everyone.
Once again a great Christmas. I love the holidays and the time we spent with our families.
