Christmas at Dad and Monicas

I am trying to do a little bloggity catch up over the next couple of days. I feel worse than aweful and just want to stay in bed, as if that is ever going to happen. So, I am lounging around the house in my pj's, watching the kids play and catching up on our Holiday adventures.

We celebrated Christmas with Todd (Carson's Dad) and Monica on the 23rd. It's always fun to get the entire family together and everyone was there this year! Monica arranged to have family pictures before dinner, this is why we are all wearing black. Once again, there is not one photo of me, because I am always behind the camera, I'll have to start photoshopping myself in. Believe it or not... I LOVE to be in front of the camera too!

After family pictures in the freezing cold... we came back to the warm house to enjoy some prime rib, ham and lots of sweets! Then the jolly ol' fella came in to surprise the kids with goodie bags full of gifts.

Daddy and Owen

Some of the cousins with Santa

Owen was skeptical of the fat man in a red suit... so he just took his present and said "da doo"

Kamryn has much more experience and had a long list of items on her list... even though she knew this wasn't the REAL Santa... she sure did play along.

Kamri (Carson's Sister) and Tony

Here's Tanner (Carson's Brother) and Aida...

Oh look... it's Karlee (our oldest neice at almost 16) and Grandma Monica

This was my attempt at getting the kids in one photo... we're missing five of them.

Justin (Bro-in-law) and Janesa (Carson's baby sister)
Don't hate me for posting this.. I love this picture!

Kamryn and Luke

And of course... Mister Owen, minding his own business on the couch. He loves hanging out with everyone and isn't afraid to push his way through the crowds of kids to fit right in. Then again.. he also likes to be up on the couch and left alone to play with Auntie Sussy's "HeeeRRRoooo" (translation: Hello... which, translated again means: iphone)

Thanks for a Great Christmas Todd and Monica!! We had a great time!! I'll be sure to post the family pictures when they come back from the photographer.
