Christmas

This is my 100th post!  Just wanted to mention that.  I wanted to get our Christmas recap in before the new year, so here I am on New Year Eve doing the post. 

We started off by celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve at my Aunt's annual get together.  It is always fun to spend time with family and the twins had a lot of fun playing and opening presents.

 



 


 
 
We were excited this year because the twins are getting older and at an age where they get excited about opening presents and toys.  Christmas morning the kids were excited to open presents until the first one was opened and then they just wanted to play with what they got and didn't even care about the others.  But Greg and I helped them open all the presents and they got some great stuff.  Jaelee had had a fever for a few days and was still not feeling very well so she was pretty whiny but still managed to play with a lot of her new toys.  I didn't take as many photos this year as usual because I was holding Jaelee a lot of the time. 

Greg got beer and a beer belt from my brother and sister.
 A inflatable car from my sister.
 Brandi & Jayden opening presents in their feety jammies. 
 Jaelee with her new tea set.
 Jayse with his new car track.
I didn't get a picture of them with them but one of Jaelee's favorite gifts was a Dora Explorer car and Jayse loved all his new Car's cars.

After opening presents we had lunch with my family at our house.  And spent the rest of the day lounging around. 

The day after Christmas we went snow tubing with my brother and sister.  We got a late start and only had a little while to sled before it got dark but we had a lot of fun.  The twins fit in a tube together and went down a few times and loved it.  Jaelee was still a little whiny and I had to hold her a lot but I did manage to make it down the big hill once.  Greg got some lovely photos of me that I don't think I'll post.  Right before it was getting dark both Greg and my brother went down the big hill and popped their tubes.  Good thing we were pretty much done.  Even though we didn't get to sled for very long we still had a good time.

 
 
 
 
 




 






 
When we got back the twins and I made cookies and we all wore our new aprons we got from my mom. 




 

 
And I had to have Jaelee try on her new jacket from Jenelle because it is so cute. Jayse had to get his picture taken too.
 
 I hope every one had a great Christmas and a happy New Year.
