Christmas Eve & Christmas

We had Christmas Eve dinner at my Brothers.
It was so nice to see everyone...
Here is a pic of my younger sis & her Hubby.




I think Hunter likes his gift...




Here are the kids playing Beyblades. Brayden got an arena (derena as he says) from aunt Juju & grandma Rhonie. 


My Bro & sister in law....


after we went to Church.
when we got home the boys put on their new Christmas PJ's & we had our gift exchange...
Brayden gave daddy a gift:
(cheese, meat & crackers- a hat for his bald head - & a smelly Notre Dame Shamrock for his car) He was so excited to give his Daddy his gift!


Chad gave Brayden- Gogoos. They are these little men our friends, the Mitchells, introduced to Bray. He loved them!


I had Chandler. I got him this John Deere Farming CD, that he wanted for the computer. He was excited.



Chandler got me a cell phone cover, I need one!!
Brayden made Chad & I an ornament wreath. He was so proud of his craft- we all loved it!


Check it out- its made out of noodles.
Isnt that cool? I love it!



Gifts under the tree.


Here the boys are waiting to pull the ribbon & come downstairs...they were so excited.

I was downstairs making a breakfast casserole for Chads family...yes, me- i made my first real casserole- & it was really good. Really.


Here is Chandler with his favorite gift, an Ipod Touch.



and here is Brayden with his....a DS Lite.


Today was a really nice day, one of the best Christmas we have had. This year, we didnt decorate as much, shop as much, spend as much or stress...our focus changed from not so much on us to more on Christ. The peace and calm, was nice. We are so blessed to have eachother, our family & our amazing friends- I am excited to see what He has in store for us for 2011!
