Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

we left disneyland wednesday night and traveled to my parents home in las vegas to get some much needed rest. christmas eve morning we met the mcnary's for some yummy breakfast. after eating we went back to there home to open presents from grandma & grandpa and aunt retta & uncle sam. so much fun. thank you~ the kids love spending time with them as we don't get to see them often.





home we go......long trip, but well worth the exhaustion.

this year my sister, tracy & i wanted to continue a christmas tradition from when we were kids. that is to do a christmas nativity play with the kids. unfortunatly i only video tapes this and i have no cute pictures of the kids all dressed in robes with towels on their heads. we had a very nice dinner...thank you babe. another tradition we decided to trademark was drawing names out of a hat and buying a gift for that person. both families really enjoyed doing this. oh' i musn't forget santa came to visit to tell the kids to be good and go to bed. only tucker wanted nothing to do with him. it was a very cute and quite the hilarious sight. after some cool down time with dad, he warmed right up to the thought of getting presents in the morning. lol

this was jenna's and madee's santa gift.


this was tucker's santa gift-a tool chest. go figure!


i wish you all were here for this! no words could explain his excitement. it hurt my belly.


a few random ones




we really were very blessed to go and do all we did this Christmas Season.we are very fortunate to live in a beautiful land that reminds us daily of our blessings from our Father in Heaven. we hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. for the first time in 13yrs i didn't send Christmas cards out and i appologize but i don't feel guilty! one year off in 13 is just fine.
