Christmas Celebrations

Carson (2), Ella (4), Isaac (4)
Oh my goodness, look at all those gifts!

Ella's new bike from Santa!!

New cousins!! Owen (2mo.) & Kianna (7mo.)

Well here we are, it is the evening of Christmas Day and everything we have prepared for has come and gone in the blink of an eye. I would have to say that everybody here had a pretty terrific holiday. Ella and Owen made out like bandits. They each got way more than their share of gifts, and when I say gifts, I mean toys, toys, and more toys!!!

We spent Christmas Eve with Brian's family at his parent's house. Ella had so much fun. She loves playing with her cousin's, Isaac and Carson. The three of them wore me out just watching them run after one another. Owen and Kianna (their other little cousin), are just the babies of the bunch and had to settle with just watching all of the comotion. But they too, will all to soon be running themselves.

Christmas Day was spent at home with my family. It was so nice that everyone was able to make it. Owen spent the day (at least 3 1/2 hrs.) in his room taking a nap. I think he must have planned that so that he didn't get passed from one person to another all day long:)

To wrap things up, I would have to say that we are very blessed to have been able to get together with everybody this year. Family is what makes Christmas!!
