“SANTA CAME!!!!” that’s the first thing Sean said as he ran out of his room Christmas morning, little Carson was right behind him shouting it too!! The boys were so fun to watch on Christmas morning, the loved all their presents.

Wow, what a fun, crazy day we had.  We are so lucky to have such loving families to make wonderful memories with.  Hope you all as much fun as we did!!!

Christmas parties

We had such a wonderful Christmas season.  We were able to go out to dinner with some really good friends the Larsen’s.  We all went to dinner (minus baby Braelee) to Red Robin. It was so nice to catch up, our lives get so busy and we are not able to get together nearly as much as we would like.  We exchanged presents, the boys got some fun toys, Greg made some amazing fudge, and Melissa made me the cutest snowman kit, can’t wait for it to snow so we can use it.  After a delicious dinner we took the kidos to see Alvin and the Chimunks: Chipwrecked. The kids LOVED it, i thought it was pretty cute too.

One of my very most favorite Christmas traditions is the sleepover at Grandma Tschaggeny’s house with the cousins.  It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to come, since so many are away at school, but we still have tons of fun with everyone who can come.  Grandma always makes lots and lots of food, add some games and candy, subtract the kidos and we have one fun night!

Last year we started the gingerbread house tradition, Sean was supper excited to continue it this year! Daddy and Sean built the house and we all decorated it together.  Carson loved joining the fun this year!

Another tradition that we have done EVERY year since I can remember is our annual Christmas Eve lunch and a movie with the Tschaggeny’s.  My grandma, all my aunts, uncles, cousins and their kids come.  Everyone was there this year except my brother Matt, who flew in Christmas night.  This year we went to Chili’s and saw Alivin and the Chipmunks (yes for the second time) and some of the older party poopers saw Mission Impossible. 

 

 

 

Chelsee

 

 

 

Geez I’m ONE lucky mommy!!

 

During lunch Chelsee had a special announcement……..

 

After 5 LONG years of trying, they are going to have a baby!!  Chel’s was going to give us all these cute cards and lunch. But, she is so incredibly lucky and the airport always seems to loose her luggage, and of course these were inside.  Her luggage came while we were in the movie so her sister brought them so she could give them to everyone.  CONGRATS you two!!

 

Christmas eve night we went to my parents house and gave the boys a present from Tommy and Me.  They both got pajamas and Kung Fu Panda 2. We watched the movie and made sugar cookies to leave for Santa. 

 

Sean got Bumble Bee pj’s

 

Carson with his Mickey pj’s

 

 

Cookie time

 

When we got home we put out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer

 

 

 

Then we sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn that had glitter in it so the reindeer could see where to land. Then off to bed so Santa could come!!!
