Christmas

We went to my mom's house for Christmas and spent time with my family. We had a family party the weekend before Christmas where we had a baked potato bar dinner, made Gingerbread houses, did a play about when Christ was born, played Christmas songs with chimes, and had a gift exchange. It was a blast!

Gingerbread Houses
Cade, Logan, Grandma Grape, Jamie, Xandra, and Preston
Keira, Desiree, and Cullen
Ashlee, Tawnie, and Faith
Xandra & Jamie

What a cute angel! (She told everyone she was a bird)
"Uncle" Trish, Uncle Clint, and Logan.
For some odd reason Logan kept calling Trish uncle instead of aunt. lol
David, Jamie, and Cade as shepherds
Keira, Cullen, and Desiree as the "wise men"
Preston, Grandma Grape, Faith and Ashlee as angels
Uncle Kenney played Joseph and Tawnie played Mary
Aunt Xandra helping Faith with her chime
Gift Exchange
We went to church with my mom and Trish took this picture for us. Thanks Trish!
Christmas Day!! I let the kids open their stalking and their present from Grandma Marlene and let Jon sleep in for an hour. They got a cash register from Grandma that came with groceries, a debit card, and play money. Too bad the register didn't work so we traded it in for some really nice pj's. They both got an orange, banana, and candy/snacks in their stalking along with a toy. Logan's was a Buzz Lightyear and Faith got a Cinderella Barbie.
After breakfast (my mom made some really good french toast) we woke up Jon and the kids got to open their presents. Faith got a dollhouse that came with a mom, dad, and twins. Logan got a train track set, and they both got an aqua doodle to share.




I got Jon a waffle maker. He's wanted one for a long time. Here he is cuddling with his waffle iron and Tia.

I LOVE the family picture before church. It is so beautiful and you all look so good. Too bad it will be outdated real soon. :)

I am so happy you updated. It looks like your family had a blast at Christmas. It was so fun seeing pictures of everyone. I am very happy for your mom because I want her to be happy, but I am still really sad over Uncle Gene. Please say hi to everyone.
