The glorious Christmas morning FINALLY arrived..according to the kids! They were really good about waking up and coming in our room than doing family prayer. We came down and opened presents. A few highlights this year was Jacob getting a bike..best present ever. Genna getting a paper jamz guitar. Jolie getting an ipod shuffle. Jillian getting lalaloopsy and Giselle getting an elmo doll from daddy. We are very blessed to live in a home that provides so much for our family. We are especially blessed to have Brett who works so hard and provides so much. After opening presents we were blessed to go to church. It was only an hour since it was Christmas day. We are told it was very spiritual but we wouldn't know since we wrestled and sweated the entire hour trying to keep Jacob and Giselle from ruining the spirit for the rest of the ward but of course we are still glad we were there! :)
We had Christmas dinner just us this year. I still wanted it to be nice. So we ate in the dining room (which doesn't have a table so we put two folding tables together) Added some candles for fun and the kids helped set the table.
Brett carving the turkey..as you can see Giselle was not at our dinner this year. She was sleeping..it was just fine with us. She will be there next year i'm sure!
I love cooking big dinners and decorating the table. I also love having leftovers so I was glad to make a little more than was needed. I hope all of you were able to feel our saviors love and know that you are a child of God. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Oh, how cool, Lisa! It looks like you all had a blast! We're so glad that you are so blessed! We miss you all!
What a fun post...Your kids look so happy...they must have some good parents...I'm glad you had such a great holiday and got to visit so much family, while having some nice family "alone" time, too.
