Christmas Eve...

"Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart…filled it, too, with melody that would last forever."



This is the present McKenna got from Brandon. He then called her as he drove away and told her she couldn't open it til Christmas. She said he had better not open his either. They talked like forever.
 Oh... and she opened it. He made her a Tinkerbell blanket. She wrapped it around her all night. :)
Miss Ashley G. gave her photo of the two of them when they went on a trip and a necklace.

 Jack was just hanging out
He was quite chill actually.

Now...On to Grandma H's

Caitlyn(Jared's girlfriend, Jared, Skyler, Aunya, Tyler, Chris.
Auctober, Taisha, McKenna and Alisha.
Alisha, Mom-Grandma-Cyndy, Aunya and Autumn.


Chris got his mom chocolate. Lucky Amber!


We were so grateful that Aunya was feeling much better and had no fever!

My beautiful Mom.
Poke cards...Just what he wanted.
Danny actually didn't want me in the picture and took one just of himself after. Butt!

Skyler and his girl...
Grandma gave the girls jewelry.
I usually sit by the fire to stay warm, but they stole my spot.
 Pajama time.
Mickey for Alisha and Minnie for Taisha.
We got Jared a dog bed for Manix.
We got Austin his own buzzers so he doesn't have to come over every time to do it. Then we realized it was a mistake. Hope he still visits us!
I made Mom and Autumn a book of our Thanksgiving at the cabin.

Snoopy p.j.s for McKenna

Cute girls in their Christmas dresses.
Taisha and Auctober.

Grandma giving Alisha some one on one time.












On the ride home, we always go around Salem Pond to see the lights and the kids run across the bridge. This year, Austin and Autumn followed and joined our tradition.


 We saw a lot of deer a few houses down from my mom's, 
but iPhones don't work so good in the dark.

"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:  the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other."
