Christmas was really great this year... we were able to spend it with lots of family and take a break from school and work for a while, which was wonderfullll. I'm proud to say, I took more pictures during the break than I have probably the whole year combined, so here's a bunch to show a little of what we did...
|
My sister actually took these for our Christmas cards |
|
Gingerbread house making day. Who knew Jeff would get so into it!?? He loved it and built the most intricate house out of everyone. More pics to come... |
|
Mine was a mess. I saw Jeff making a really intense roof, so I tried making an even more intense roof, but it turned out looking like a mushroom. So somewhere in the process I turned it upside down and it turned out to be a perfect Noah's ark. |
|
Abby was Mary and Conner was one of our handsome wisemen for the Nativity this year. We finally have so many kids that I don't have to dress up anymore! |
|
Our cute little angel, Ella. |
|
This one is so cute I can't even handle it |
|
Lola, Aiden and baby Harrison |
|
It was so fun being with so much family this year! |
|
Grandma Honey with our little Harrison. Look how chunky he is! |
|
Hey Lola! |
|
Mama Donna xoxo |
|
Oh back to the gingerbread houses. Jeff going a little crazy with his house! |
|
Hey handsome |
|
Taylor's not too into making the houses, so she put hers up pretty fast and was out of there. The rest of us probably spent more than five hours! |
|
Building the ark |
|
Mama Donna said she's never made a house before, she's always just helped the kids, so this year was Grandma's first and it turned out so cute. She did perfect ice-cycles. |
|
Mine was so ridiculous, but I was still a little proud of it! |
|
Christmas Eve visiting Grandpa DeWayne |
|
This was so funny... we usually all sleep in Kendyle and Steve's room downstairs, but for some reason Taylor came up with the idea to kick my parents out of their bed instead. And even though it was her idea, Taylor ended up going back into her own bed in the middle of the night because she didn't have any room. Here's her picture for proof |
|
Christmas morning breakfast of quiche, coffee cake, fruit cocktail, and Dad's famous orange julius |
|
Mom's pretty Christmas tree! |
|
Stair pictures, mom still insists on doing these. |
|
Dad was so excited to get fly fishing gear! |
|
Iphone Christmas! |
|
We got quite a bit a snow one day, and then it was sunny the rest. That's Colorado for you! |
|
Jeff's masterpiece before decorating, then he got a little tired and went to play raquetball and left me to decorate it |
|
Finished! |
|
Jeff's little buddy, Lola |
|
We got to go out to visit Jeff's grandparents for New Years, and here's a picture from a walk we went on. So pretty! |
