The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

What a wonderful time of the year it has been. Things have been so crazy this year especially but it wouldn't be Christmas without it. This year has been filled with lots of family, friends and tons of PaRtIeS!! Every year we have a "Grandma Joann's Christmas Night" party in remembrance of our crazy Grandma that always used to buy us DI Christmas presents. SO, Everyone has to bring a $5 D.I. present. This year, we decided to have an ugly sweater contest as well....check out this UGLY dressed group!




Now, that is H-O-T-T Hot!


Ok, So now I'll skip all the way to Christmas morning...I didn't take any still pictures of Christmas morning at our house since I was recording all morning, but needless to say, Linc got spoiled. Although, after opening one gift he didn't want to open any more. Hmmm... maybe I'll just get him one present next year. ;) So, after presents at our house, we go up to Searle's. Christmas Eve and Day are always planned out to the hour of where we are...good thing it only comes once a year. Linc got spoiled, yet again. He won't take off his Raiders helmet..ever. He wants to sleep in it. Ha. Ha.
What a happy boy!!
Ledger and Zoey just enjoying the wrapping paper...
Now, on to my parents house....We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Dinner along with family and presents. We had a special treat having my brother home from boot camp. Linc missed his cousins and uncle so much. We are glad to have him home even though it's only for a short time.
Linc of, course got spoiled here too... he just can't wait to put up his trampoline Papa and Mimi got him...now we just need the snow to go away:)

My Aunt Karen made all of these adorable aprons for us for Christmas..I love them!!
This is the picnic table we gave to my parents and also to Luke's parents..way cute. Shawn made them and he did such a great job.
Every year we always go bowling a few days after Christmas with Luke's family... Linc really loves bowling... check out the concentration...

We hope this season finds all of our loved ones happy, healthy and safe. Happy New Year!!

There is a place called Picture Perfect (its in the same complex as Jalisco's) that offers photoshop classes. I want to take one bad because I havn't been able to figure it out on my own. Looks like your Christmas was great!
