Christmas Day 2014

We had such a wonderful Christmas day.  We got so busy with hopping around to different houses and playing with our new Christmas gifts that I didn't get very many great pictures. I didn't even pull out my good camera. I seriously forgot! 


Drake asked for a tee-pee tent this year and Stella asked for a dolly and a doll bed. The kids must have been extra good, because that is exactly what they got.  Santa was very good to them.







Santa brought Drake a tee-pee tent, lots of books, and some awesome stuff in his stocking.



Santa brought Stella a Dorothy doll, a doll bunk-bed, and some fun toys and treats in her stocking.



The best part of Christmas Day is that it was a White Christmas!  It snowed really hard and lots of it.  It was amazing.  After we saw what Santa brought us we went to my parents house for Crepes and to talk to Lauren on the phone.  It was so much fun talking to her, but it was really hard too.  I really miss her so seeing her face just made that worse.  I just wanted to give that girl a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek!  But she is doing good and looks so dang cute. She is such a good missionary and we are so proud of her.



Look how pretty she is!


Then Drake and Stella opened up their presents from Grandpa and Grandma.  They got pretty dang spoiled!


Drake got a wagon.  He has been asking for a wagon for a pretty long time and he finally got it.


It doesn't show in this picture, but Stella got a pussycat doll.  She is the cutest doll I have ever seen! She also got a new purse.




They also got snackeez and they were pretty excited about them.  They actually are pretty dang cool. I kind want one for myself!


We then went home and opened up the gifts to each other.


Stella got Eeyore, a princess Anna dress, a new blanket and I made her a little fabric doll house that has little dolls inside that she can take to church.



Drake also got a new blanket, some Lincoln Logs, and the game spot it and operation.


Josh got some new cologne, a new wallet, some clothes, gift card, socks, some beef jerky and I made a book with Liz and Karly with all of the pictures from our cruise.


I also got a new nice blanket, a camera strap, and a kindle!!


This necklace I am wearing is also a gift from Josh.  It is the one he gave me on our cruise.  And.... I had to make sure I drank my diet coke with festivity.  A green cup and a red straw.


Later that afternoon we went up to Robin and Ted's house and celebrated the rest of the night with all of Josh't family.  We had a yummy dinner, opened presents, sang songs and played lots of games. It was a blast.  The kids all had so much fun together.  Cousins are the best!  What a great Christmas day full of so much fun.  Although we got lots of fun new things, we also tried to remember the true meaning of Christmas and kept the Savior in our hearts and minds!  Merry Christmas!
