Man, oh man! Did we have a lot of Christmas fun or what? I felt like Christmas was neverending this year... I only took 700+ pictures in a 4 day time span! I narrowed it down and only put 200(ish) on this post. It's so hard to pick the best ones when they are all pictures of my cute kiddos!
We had our little family (of 5) Christmas on Monday, the 23rd. My parents came over to watch the kids open their gifts from us and from each other.
This is Barrett opening his gift from Jayna:
And now, Jayna is opening her gift from Barrett:
a boy Barbie with an extra outfit:
They are so sweet to each other:
George's gift from Jayna...
He liked it!
You will notice a pony-theme throughout this Christmas. Jayna has been really into horses this year
George still mesmerized by his new toy:
Ta-da!
Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots!
Barrett helping George open the present that Barrett got him:
Jayna has wanted a doll house for years... and now she has one!
This was Jayna and Barrett's gift from George - a glow in the dark basketball!
We had the kids leave the room and come back in once we brought the basketball goal inside. I forgot to get a picture of them with their new basketball goal, but as you can see from their faces, they like it!
Jayna just beat Bonham at Rock 'em Sock 'em!
Nana and Barrett playing...
On the 24th, we had Christmas with my parents and brother's family.
Jayna's new Christmas dress came with a matching dress for her baby doll:
Jayna and Barrett:
Jayna and Papa playing Guess Who - its not a cool of a game as when I was a kid. I wish I could find the original version of the game
I was hoping to get some good pictures of George by the Christmas tree... but as you can see from the next few pictures, that didn't happen :(
Barrett had some "Magic Reindeer Food" to sprinkle in the yard so that Santa and the reindeer would know where to come to deliver presents
every last bit...
We also celebrated my niece, Presley's 6th birthday before we opened presents
my nephew, Grant
All of the Nana and Papa's grandkids:
Presley (6) and Grant (17 months)
Barrett (5), George (3 months), and Jayna (7)
cousin, Presley and George
cousins (and Jayna's baby doll)
Look! The "Magic Reindeer Food" worked! Santa showed up!

Presley's birthday cake:
Let the present opening begin!
George got a monkey and a New Year's outfit
Jayna got some rubber bands for making bracelets
Barrett got some Angry Bird slippers
Presley got a Barbie doll:
Bonham got a Dallas Cowboy grilling spatula
Jayna got a flashlight panda bear thing... haha! I don't know what it's really called
New clothes - always a plus!
I got some nice family stockings! Yay!
Bonham got some air tight canisters for his pantry!
He's excited... he's really been wanting some of these

She was so excited to have some of these ponies!
Presley helped by opening this for George:

A nice warm monkey outfit for George
A pogo stick!
Golf clubs - a good sport for a kid with high blood pressure.
Maybe he'll go pro!
and the last gift...
Kindles for everyone! (well, these 3)
On Christmas Day, we woke up for Santa gifts....
Jayna woke up first, so she went to wake up Barrett...
From the look on Barrett's face, I think he thought Jayna's gifts were left for him...
He wrote Santa a letter at school and asked for Monster's University
A pony!
and fingernail polish
ooohh.... robots!
And then headed to Abilene for Christmas with Bonham's family:

George has been drooling a lot, so we found a bib to put on him (yes, it's pink - there are more girls in this family than boys). He still looks good in pink though!

Merry Christmas!
And then we had our last Christmas celebration at my parents' house with my Mamo and Aunts, Uncles, and cousins (on my dad's side).
