On Tuesday we had a "Family Christmas Party" at my sister & brother-in-law's house. There are 22 of us now...23 if you count Sarah's baby (in her belly).
Marcus (1 of Elizabeth & Lamar's twins) came "Home for the Holidays" & is as CUTE as can be.
My brother Nathan was home from his army training...it was SO good to see him.

We had our "annual cookie decorating contest", but i think we forgot to vote...whoops!
In my opinion Rich was the WINNER, he made an angry reindeer. (???)
It was bittersweet to have Marcus home...we all felt bad for Jason (who should be coming home soon).
Eliana was the first to open a gift...I LOVE how all the kids are watching her in this picture. Such a KODAK MOMENT!!!
This is the "Mustache Mug" that Rich & I got for my dad!
Us adults had a $20 Chineases Gift Exchange...don't even GET me started!
JJ looking spiffy in his PJ's that he opened the night before (now they don't look like hoodlums in the pictures).

Transformers were DEFINITELY the theme of this Christmas, thanks to Amah!!!
Eddie is CRAZY about his WALL-E stuff...SO CUTE!!!
The boys got Rich 2 wireless XBOX 360 controllers (now they can ALL play wirelessly, not just Rich).
***VIDEO COMING SOON!Rich built the boys a tree fort for Christmas...we managed to keep it a surprise. Here is a video clip of the reveal. I think they were VERY confused on how it got there, oh & the slide was wet...whoops!
They LOVE it (I do too!)...Thanks Daddy!
wonderful post, loved it!! you'll have to have mommy moments with your new blanket throughout the day!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Rich had such talents-I'm thinkin' he should open his own etsy store for decorated cookies (a few owls and dead trees...) :)
ReplyDeleteOoohhh R, I don't think I would ever get out of bed if I had that blanket wrapped around me!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, was awesome to see pics of your family!
