Christmas pj party

Brett is such a good boy! He put together a slideshow from the girl's pj photo shoot.
Here is the link if you would like to see the raw, unedited files! (That sounds bad.)
Fun times! Check out the ending. Brett makes me laugh.

Highlights from Christmas

Each year, I get a Christmas book to read before gifts. Every persons name goes into a bowl and we draw for the person who gets to keep the book. Would you believe that every year, Kenny's name has been drawn out! He is getting a nice collection of Christmas books! We joke that he surely couldn't win it this year, but he has.

Brett always wants toys for Christmas. I rarely buy toys; they are a waste of money to me. So this year he bought his own remote control airplane and one for Chad so they could play together. And actually, I did buy a silly little remote control mini coup this year. But I don't think they have used them. See, it's a waste!

Toys for Llayton.

Cohen (5), Ella (2), Bennett (9 mo), Llayton (2 mo).

We do crazy white elephant gifts in our familee. Trent worked long and hard on his creation

I thought my gift was so clever - goldfish! Trent opened them and wouldn't take them home. So a few days later, I put them in the back of his car after he left our house. Sesily is a good sport to take care of these silly things. They have only lost one! Sorry Ses!



Late on Christmas eve, we finally got around to opening our new Christmas pj's. (It's a girl thing only.) Then we headed down to the basement for our 'photo shoot'! Brett was our photographer this year and right now he is putting together a slide show of it. Thank you girls, for being so fun! Here are just two of the MANY!

Christmas with the Lee's

This year we had a progressive dinner (well, it didn't really progress since we stayed at Sesily's house!) We had appetizers, soups and yummy desserts. It is always enjoyable just visiting with one another.

Before the Lee's came, our familee exchanged the 'siblings gifts' as well as Lana and Tyson opening their gifts. They left the next day for Utah to spend Christmas with Tyson's family.

This is probably my most favorite gift ever! (what Bree is holding). We first started it with Cohen and every baby now has their own. Lana's purchases the build-a-bear and a recorder for each new baby. Inside the hand is a recorder. When you squeeze the hand, the recording plays the first cry of that baby. Each of the boys have been able to record their baby's cry as soon as they are born. It is the funnest and most tender gift.
