My Very Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas,cause I did! Surrounded by family is the bestest(I know it's not a word,but I just made it one) thing ever! ;)
Although my sister (who lives out of state),my brother in law, my dear nephew and nieces didn't come up for Christmas
:(
I miss them very much!

Okay, now on to my Christmas day! ;)

I woke up about 6:00 (whoa,a new record,for getting up late on Christmas)!!! I was totally shocked that my 5 year old brother didn't get up until almost 6:30! (He was up at one 1:00 AM on Thanksgiving waiting until morning. And at 6:00AM he went around the house with a little bell and yelling "everyone get up it's Thanksgiving! So cute =) )

So I took a shower waited an hour and my parents were almost up my grandpa was up(he spent the night) and with the help of a light switch and Samuel we got my sister up! :)

We excitedly  gathered up our presents! My daddy read the Christmas story and than we did oldest to youngest in opening Christmas presents!(It's been a while since we went in that order)!!!

I got from my parents a shirt,sweater,and a stainless steel friendship cup that you can put a photo in!
Both of my grandparents got all us kids gift cards (I got one for Walmart and Kohls I've been needing a wardrobe,so Kohls will def. work)

As family gifts we got the movie "Iron Will" (great movie if you never watched it you should some scenes a little dramatic for kids who cannot understand whats happening.), Scrabble card game,and A Pictionary card game (both played a little differently for the original board games)!

Are grandma got us a mini popcorn maker(like at movie theaters) exact it makes a about half a gallon of popcorn! My brother Kyle cam over Christmas Eve and got us all a dart board(and darts) the movie "Despicable Me", A tin can of popcorn some fun dip candy and a movie called "My sisters keeper." I didn't like it very much. (it should be rated PG-17 we fast fore ward some of it) I didn't watch the every part of it! I think that's all he got us( awesome big brother.. heh...)

My married brother and wife got us a family gift season 3,4, and 5 of the Cosby show! Another Awesome sibling! That's pretty much it! Oh,and my younger brother Aaron got my a knife with wild horses on it! lol,it was fun un-wrapping,lets just say it involved lots of wrapping paper,boxes,plastic wrap,foil and a gift bag! =)

Here's some photos!

                                      It isn't a normal if you don't break an ornament by accident while  decorating the tree at our house! :) another tradition!

The tree Christmas morning!

Me! Please no comment on my hair! I just got out the shower and I twisted my hair like this and than sperated them into a bunch of small ones when they dried!


He got a hoodie! He told me while waiting for evernyone to awaken he hoped he'ld get one!

Ethan got a bow and some arrows!



We knew it was something with hunting cause the box said it was from a hunting company!
My sister thought it was funny that we couldn't figure it out!

My dad got  a nice outdoors work jacket!

Kyle got a toaster oven thing! Perfect for his new apartment!
