Christmas!!!

We had a really fun Christmas! Tami and Glenn's family came over to spend Christmas Eve with us. We had a delicious dinner, let the kids act out the nativity, read Grandma Diane's Christmas book , and played a lot of games!!! Elle and Easton love their cousins and had so much fun. It was a small gathering, compared to what we are used to because a lot of Don's family went to Phoenix this year, but we still had a great time!

Christmas Eve dinner

Easton loved wrestling and playing football with Nate

Lindsay helped Elle learn some cheerleading moves

Elle and Easton were so excited to be Joseph and Mary and insisted that Nate and Lindsay were shepherds (Even though they had crowns on)

Don read in Luke

I read Diane's book she wrote, "I Believe in Santa Claus"

The kids got to open up new pajamas before bed. Easton was so excited his had dinosaurs! Jayne was just exhausted at this point but she still looks so cute!

Elle had the cutest idea to make a note for Santa and wrote it all on her own

We had so much fun playing games until 2am after the little kids went to bed. Our cute niece, Natalie, and her boyfriend, Trent came over later in the night and played with us too. We played Taboo, Apples to Apples, Pass the Pigs, Rook, and the Wii. So fun! Cute Elle had the hardest time falling asleep because she was so excited for Christmas. She was still awake at 1am and ran downstairs to tell us that Easton had his head stuck under our bed. I have no idea how he got his head under our bed while he was asleep but it was pretty funny!

Christmas morning came early! Elle was so excited to see that she got a camera from Santa.

Easton got a dinosaur that growls

Jayne loved it!

Jayne's connecting toys from Santa

We got Elle and Easton pet African frogs. Elle named hers "Aramina" from 'Barbie and the Three Musketeers' and Easton named his "Megatron," of course. I don't know what it is about the bad guys lately.

Elle got Easton a dinosaur fossil kit. They love each other and were so excited to give each other the gifts they picked out.

Easton got Elle a butterfly paint kit

Elle made Don a book about the things they do together

Elle made me a book too called, "Me and Mom." It was so cute!

Easton colored a picture of me

Easton gave Don a candy cane he painted

Elle and Easton both got Legos from Gma and Gpa Adamson

We had such a fun Christmas Day. After opening gifts, we went and saw the new "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie.
