We had a great Christmas, with a full house! We had Matt's parents and brother with us for the week of Christmas, it was alot of fun! It came and went so fast that I realize now I did not get as many pictures as I would have liked of the kids and all the things we did together. I think I was just to busy doing a million other things. Christmas eve was a fun night, we had lots of yummy food, then it was time to play games. We played "Do you jingle", I changed the name, my family will remember it as "Do you teakettle". It was hilarious! Then we played LCR (left, center, right). Everyone really got into it.
This game really changes with every roll of the dice!
It was nearing the end and it looked as though Sadi was going to win the pot and then...
David won the pot of chocolate! He was kind enough to share it with all of us.
We read stories and before we knew it, it was time to hang the stockings. Sadi was so excited to get her stocking but didn't want to hang it, she wanted to wear hers to bed and was mad when I told her she needed to leave it out for Santa.
Santa usually stops by but like I said we were so busy he forgot! We also usually always decorate cookies for Santa but lost track of time and it was getting late so Chase left him some homemade chocolate chip cookies.
All to soon it was morning and all the kids climbed into our bed waiting to go see if Santa had come. Grandpa Denning was the first up and couldn't wait to start the day!
Sadi got the loving family dollhouse with all kind of dolls and furniture, she was in heaven!
She quickly removed every piece of furniture from the house (what was Santa thinking!). She loved the babies that came with it.
Chase got the big imaginext dragon castle with all kinds of new guys and weapons. I think now he has every one.
He was so excited about every single thing Santa brought even the orange in the bottom of his stocking!
Kelsey got all kinds of new clothes,
And a stereo/CD/DVD/i-pod system with new music and DVDs. She kept us jamming all day long. Her most favorite thing she got was a New Moon blanket (yes, somehow I didn't get a picture of that).
Soon it was time to tackle all the gift that were wrapped under the tree. This year the kids wasted no time tearing into their gifts.
It was fun to be able to watch Grandma and Grandpa open their gifts as well. All the kids had sent in photos that we had made into a blanket for them.
The kids played all day, it was so fun to watch. Matt left later in the day for work and I made a huge dinner for everyone. Ham, potatoes, rolls, etc. it was yummy! Al the kids got new jammies for Christmas but Sadi is the only one I could get to stop long enough to snap a photo of that night before bedtime.
It was a great Christmas! We are looking forward to 2010!!

Looks like you guyshad lots of fun and created lots of memories for everyone!
What a great Holiday. So happy that you had Family visiting for it all. What a great Blanket you all had mad for them. That is an idea for our family huh? Love the pajamas Sadi, so adorable.
Where is the picture of Chase playing with the dolls? I know he was all over that thing.
Kelsey must have ran to the shrine so fast, you didn't have time to take a picture of the blanket huh?
What a great Christmas! I love the blanket...what a great idea!
