Christmas Activities 2011

Christmas time is always my favorite time of the year. I love the everything about it and so do my kids. They were all very excited this year and we all loved getting ready for the festivities.

Tyus and Peyton were in the school play at their school and also in the church. Both programs were so cute and they both did really well.

(This picture didn't turn out very good and I guess I didn't get one of Tyus' class. OOPS!!)
Tyus got to play Santa Clause at the Ward Christmas Eve Program. He did such a great job and Grandma Tracy did an excellent job making him the cutest Santa Clause ever!!

Peyton was a Robot at the Ward Christmas Eve Program

Chad's family had a Christmas party on the 23rd of December. I was a lot of fun having his whole family together. We had dinner and exchanged gifts. Then we all just enjoyed each others company and the kids all had fun playing. We also got to have Chad's mom come stay with us on Christmas Eve this year. She stayed the night and got to spend Christmas morning with us. It was a lot of fun having her and I think she enjoyed herself too. We went up to my mom and dad's house Christmas afternoon and spent the rest of the day with my family. We had our traditional Christmas Lunch of Sub Sandwiches, Salads, Dad's Famous Fudge and a lot of other yummy goodies. The kids had fun playing "the present game" and opening their gifts from grandpa and grandma. We had a great Christmas and hated to see it go by so fast.

Peyton also patiently waiting until it is his turn to open a gift
(We usually start with the youngest first but this year we decided to start with the oldest so he had to wait until last to open a gift. He was so patient and didn't mind at all that his sister and brother got to go before him)

As you can see they all got spoiled and had a great Christmas. They got most everything they asked for and probably even a little more. We hope everyone had as great of a Holiday Season as we did and hope that 2012 treats us as good as 2011 did.
