Merry Christmas from our house to yours...

Merry, Merry Christmas 2010 from our house to yours!

Oh how I love the holidays! This year was such a winter wonderland! When we woke up on Christmas Eve Day to snow...that was the start of a great weekend!

We had a nice breakfast at our house that a.m. The girls could hardly eat...they were too excited about what was to come next...presents!!! We were going to do our little Christmas with the girls before we got busy for the weekend.

Here they are posing by the tree before hand...

Madison with her presents...


Presley with her presents...


Here they go! They couldn't rip into them fast enough. Hours of wrapping...that lasted what seemed like 30 seconds (ok, so maybe it was like 10 minutes tops!)

We all got some great stuff! The girls got an assortment of toys and Jason and I got each other a few small things. He got a Harley shirt, some Agco collectible tractors, and the Grown Ups movie. I got this necklace with the girls names on it and an ornament.
After presents, it continued to snow! We had to go out in it for a minute and take some pictures! Jason was busy moving snow! Auntie swears he was trying to run her over below!
Here is my proud husband and his tractor! I think the snow is starting to get to him now...it's fun at first...but every other night is getting to be a little much!
No, this isn't an Eskimo!
These are some of my new favorites! What's not to love about matching coats,
scarves, hats, and mittens!! Fun, fun!
Daddy was done moving snow...so it was time to put our reindeer food out! We swear this works every year! A little oatmeal for the reindeer to eat and some sprinkles so that they can see it! Santa has come every year since we started doing this!


Our first Christmas celebration for the weekend was at my mom, Paul, and my brother's house for Christmas Eve! My mom absolutely loves having Christmas Eve with all of us! We have spent Christmas Eve together just about every year!
First and foremost...family pictures! These are so great!
Time to curl hair so we are ready for supper and Christmas Eve church service at St. Matt's.
Oh, and a few more pictures...indoors this time!
What QT's! Can we say screensaver at grandma's house!
Time for supper! This is a new, fun prayer we say! The kids love it! It's the shark prayer!
My mom wanted to do soup's and sandwiches this year. We had 4 different kinds of soups and ham sandwiches. The best part was the soup bowls...they were bread bowls! Yummy!
It was a fun surprise! Soup's on...
We ate before church so that after it wouldn't be so late when we were opening presents. The Sunday School class has put on their program on Christmas Eve a few years. It's always cute! Jason's parents joined us for that service.
After church, we headed back to OPEN PRESENTS!!! We all got so many nice things!
One of my favorite's for the girls was the UGGS!!!
Guess who else got UGGS and LOVES them!!!
My sister gave me this awesome photo book! Let's just say I couldn't look at it until after.
BS? Really? LOL!
Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts! The best one of all was the time with family! I love Christmas!!!!
