{ChRiStMaS EvE & DaY}

We spent Christmas Eve at the Frischknecht's this year. This was our fourth Christmas together...but our first Christmas as Mr. & Mrs.! Here we are posing infront of Jon's mom's tree. I love this tree she puts it up every year!

Each year, the grandkids (A.K.A "the cousins") perform the Christmas Story for us. It is always narrated beautifully, complete with audience song participation, programs & costumes!

Left:This is just half the group that was over at the Frischknecht's on Christmas Eve! There are about 14 people who are not in the picture! The whole family was home for Christmas! It was so fun to have the Hunt's here from California! Right:Here are some of the kids on Christmas Morning. We got up at 7:00. It has been a while since I've been up before 10:00 on Christmas morning! It was so fun to see all the kids open their presents from Santa.

Then we went over to my sister's house. We spent the rest of the day there with my side of the family. We ate lots of good food, played games & opened more presents.

Dylan & Gavyn wanted to get their dad a new nerf dart gun! This thing is taller than Dylan & is super fun!

Here is Goober with the only thing he wanted from Santa; The Flash!

And his present from Aunt Mandy; George! He kept hugging it and saying "I love dis monkey."

My mom (cort & myself) made Brandon a Quilt out of his old Army uniforms. It turned out really cool!

We all put together a ton of pictures & gave my mom a digital frame. (great idea Brand!) She loved it!
