Christmas Day ...

Christmas day was great! We started the morning with a bloody nose from Parley, so I was washing sheets even before we started opening presents, and it was funny because Travis hid my stocking this year (a tradition that my dad has always done and travis didn't want me to miss my mom and dad too much so he decided to carry that on) and it was in the washing machine, so because i was washing sheets it was the first thing I found christmas morning! The boys had a wonderful morning and then we went to Shupe's for a yummy breakfast, then back home for some naps and on to Granny's for some dinner, it was a busy day, but we all had a great time. Ella didn't feel her best but for the most part I think she had a pretty good day! The boys loved everything about the day, the presents, being with family, eating treats, the wii and much more! We hope everyones Christmas was just as great as ours.



This is just after we had taken care of the bloody nose!
Waiting in the hall while mom checked to see if Santa Claus came.
Parley's favorite part about Christmas was his stocking, it was the first thing he opened and he kept trying to get all of us to open ours and Brig just wasn't interested!

Brig trying out his new train!


The favorite gift, the blast pad, the boys love shooting off these rockets!












I surprised Trav with a garage vacuum, just what you would always want for christmas, a vacuum! He was thrilled.







Ella woke up about an hour after the rest of us and she just soaked it all in, it was so cute! Parley was dying for her to open her stocking!



Giving her new doll some kisses.




Then to Grandma's for some breakfast, where Santa Claus was making some awesome omelettes!


Jess gave Trav a red ryder, he was thrilled!Mr. and Mrs. Claus!







Playing a hunting game on the wii, parley and brig loved it.






Playing some mario kart!
