Christmas this year was very full and actually was spread out for about four days. Mike had to work on Christmas day so we decided to celebrate Christmas on Saturday. So our Christmas celebrating started off on Christmas day spending the morning at Ryan and Hannahs, we were invited to join them Christmas morning for a great breakfast and watching little Danica open her presents on her very First Christmas.
Christmas Eve we sat around watching Jaden and Danica play while the big kids played games and enjoyed each others company. Jaden got into his Christmas jammies (check out those cute reindeer slippers)and the playing began.
Grandpa playing with the kids, I'm not sure who was having more fun Jaden and Danica or Grandpa!!
Branden and Jens friends Malcolm and Lisa came up to celebrate Christmas with us and they have a 3 month old baby, so we had the baby seat and swing out and little Jaden got tired out with all the playing and we found him lounging in the babyseat. hahaha. So off to bed we go waiting for Santa...

I can honestly say there has only been a very few times in my life that I have been totally surprised, but this Christmas was one I will always remember. The kids went together and bought Mike and I the most PRECIOUS gift of all times. It's a fleece blanket with the babies photos on it. It's the most vibrant and biggest photos I' ve ever seen(sorry these photos don't do it justice but you can at least get the idea). Mike and I both were brought to tears, literally we looked at each other and both of us had tears streaming down our faces. Thank you so much guys you could have never picked a better gift for us, and the neatest thing is it captures the first years of life of both Jaden and Danica. We have it mounted on our living room wall, each photo ranges from about 11X 14 some are 24x24, it's really the most amazing gift ever. It's so fun to be sitting either on the couch or in our chairs and look up and have life size photos of our beautiful grandbabies, trust me it's hard to be in a bad mood or feeling blue with those sweet little faces staring at you, it makes a smile come across your face in no time flat. Thanks again Branden, Jen, Ryan, Hannah, Jaden and Danica. WE LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL GIFT!!!!!
