Christmas!

We simply had a wonderful Christmastime! 

On Christmas Eve evening, we headed over to the T Family's house for dinner. The front door of their house was locked and our arms were full with our stuff, so we rang the doorbell. When the door opened, Cortney's sister, Amber was as the door! We couldn't believe it! Earlier in the fall, they had told the family that they wouldn't be able to come this year for Christmas. They were there as a surprise! It was very cool. The only person that knew they were coming was Cortney's dad. 


We had a very delicious dinner and hung out as a family...


The Christmas Tree salad!







Cortney played the violin for a bit...


Ha ha ha!

The Mew decided to hang out with us too!





 PJ and Nativity Story time...







Then it was sleepy time! 

Christmas day was nice and relaxing! We woke up to see what Santa had brought, ate a delicious breakfast of Baboo biscuits, and then headed to my brother's house.  

We hung out with my parents and my brother's family for awhile and enjoyed the Christmas morning. We played just dance on their new Wii - it was a party! Then we headed to my parents' house for a couple hours. We finished off the afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa's. 

We were really spoiled this Christmas and are really counting our blessings. We are so grateful for our families and especially for our Savior, Jesus Christ! What a wonderful Christmas season and Christmas!

Christmas Eve Day

On Christmas Eve while the hubs was as work, my brother's family came over to play! It hadn't snowed a whole lot in December and it started snowing when they got to my house! It was an exciting Christmas Eve surprise!
We played the Wii, watched some Netflix Christmas shows,  and ate peppermint ice cream (J ate his container of Nutella like it was ice cream! Ha ha)



All of the kiddos (minus the napper)!

We also got in the snow mood by making snowflakes!









After the fake snowflakes, we checked out the real ones...





It was a fun day! Thanks, E Family!

Christmas Parties All Around!

We are so blessed to have many wonderful friends! We love Christmastime to be able to celebrate with those who are close to us! We had two friends parties at our house this year; one with Cortney's high school friends, and one with our mutual married friends. As always, we had a blast with everyone! Along with the fantastic food, we had some wonderful company!  





A little blurry, but all the peeps! 


Round 2 friend party:








We played some fun games, ate good food, and enjoyed each others' company. We sure do love our friends!
