Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! It is so nice to look around and see the christmas lights shining and so much snow on the ground this year. We have gotten quite a few inches in the last week.

Saturday night Aunt Kelly, Lyndie, Luke and Mitch came out. They picked up chicken on there way out and we opened a few gifts. Fun was had by all! Escpecially the kids using each others phones to text and take pictures with.

The kids really enjoyed Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve Santa came to grandma and grandpas and there were no tears shed. Brayden and Alexis jumped up and down when he walked in the door. Right after santa came we were off to church! Alexis was an angel again in the childrens program she did a wonderful job(yawning the whole time). Then we went back to grandma and grandpas for dinner and to open gifts. The kids got in there jammies. We all enjoyed ourselves.

On Christmas Day we woke up to presents in our stockings. Santa must have thought the kids were good this year:) We opened our gifts then went down to grandma and grandpas for lunch. Yummy it was very good! Then we were off to Emmy and Daves house in Richfield. Just as we were getting in the car to go there it started to snow. Once we got on the freeway there were cars in the ditch all over! But we drove carefully and made it there safely. The kids had lots of fun with there cousins and aunts and uncles.

I can't believe that Christmas is done and now we are looking into a new year! Where does the time go. Now we look forward to our little mini vacation at the dells and Brayden will turn 3 before we know it, February 2nd.

On a side note. I had both kids to the doctor today. They both have strep. We have them both on medicine. Glad we caught it in time so they are feeling better next week for the dells. Brayden also has some weird rash and puffy face going on so we are suppose to watch it and if its not better by monday bring him back in. Hopefully this medicine will work!

Here are a bunch of pictures from our Christmas:
