Christmas Part 3

When we got home from TN, we had our own Christmas! It was weird not having it on Christmas Day, but we still had so much fun!

Ralphy the Elf riding the train!

As you know we always get the kids 3 gifts a piece. 

We got Hallie a doll Armoire with a few outfits inside. She loved it!

We also got her a "sister" for her American Girl Doll. I was so excited about this because I found it on sale back in October for $17 it's normally and still is right now $34.

And Chad got her a fancy nancy doll set.

Owen got a hovercraft helicopter thingy. lol.

Some Bey Blades, this isn't the Bey Blade brand, but they sold these at Toys R Us and were about $10 cheaper and came with cooler stuff. He has had tons of fun with this!

We got him this four wheeler at a Garage Sale for $50, it was practically brand new! He Absolutely LOVES IT!!

So does Knox...

We only got Knox one gift..I didn't really want to get him anything, because he doesn't really need anything and he's so young..

Stockings!!

After opening gifts we went outside to throw the boxes and trash away and the kids saw this!!! We got this on sale for $79 at Wal-mart.com-free shipping!! It's not the one I wanted but we saved about $300. lol. They were so excited!

Christmas Part 2

We met up with some old friends in Cookeville, Jason and Rebekah Sacran. I wish I would have gotten a picture of just the adults together. We meet up with them about once every year. Wish we could see them more often! Here are all the kids!!

The day after Christmas we went to spend some time in Smyrna with my family. We had a Christmas party that night and exchanged gifts with everyone!

I just took random shots of everyone..hope you enjoy!!

Little Kayleen just came up and sat in Knox's lap haha, They were so cute playing together!!

Soo funny story. My sister Hannah, as you already know, loves to take pictures of herself. And..maybe if I was as cute as her, I would too. So she took this one particular picture of herself and posted it on facebook. And as you can imagine..I thought it was hilarious..

So I texted the picture to all my siblings and told them to take a picture of themselves with this pose and post it on facebook..they couldn't resist.

We even got the kids in on it...

...and the dog...

Some of her friends even caught on and posted pics of themselves doing "The Hannah"

I thought she would think it was funny..she wasn't very happy about it, she was pretty mad, actually. I just explained to her that I thought she was so cute and I really wasn't trying to be mean. Anyways, at our Christmas party she gave everyone a gift and this was what was inside:

I thought it was awesome.

Christmas Part 1

We went to Cookeville, TN for Christmas which is where Chad's parents live. We were going to have our own Christmas for the first time ever and not travel anywhere. I promised Chad we would. But then we found out that Chad's parents were being called on a 3 year mission (I can't disclose the location yet, but I'll let you know soon) So we decided that we would go to TN and spend this Christmas with his family, because we knew it would be a while before we had Christmas with them again.

Our Christmas Eve Party!!

Chad made some really good sushi

Everyone eating yummy food and having a fun time!

My cute babies

Knox always puts his foot on the table when he is eating

Opening gifts..we draw names every year and open them at our Christmas party, I wish I would have taken more pictures of everyone opening their gifts.
