Christmas --part 2-- with the Joneses

This year was Christmas at my parents house. It was fun to have so many of us there together again! {{Talon, Natalie and Lila we MISSED you TONS!!}} We also had some cousins come visit from Tennessee so it was a lot of crazy and a lot of fun! 

First Santa came! Stu LOVED it. he got really excited and ran right up to him to give him five!! it was so fun having him excited about Santa this year. - 

 Then we did the nativity -

 

Then we opened Christmas Pajamas -

 

 All of our Pj's were made with OLD fabric from my Mom's sewing room. It was fun to see fabric the we recognized! How cute are we??? (0:

This is the craziness I was telling you about... And, I love every single one of them. THANKS FOR THE FUN CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas --part 1-- with the Ryans

After I see past the craziness of planning... I realize the blessing that it is to have both of our families so close to each other! I love that we don't ever have to miss out on visiting Grandparents during Christmas time.

We had an early Christmas celebration with Mike's family.

 Stu helped EVERYONE open their gifts!

And, he helped Grandma find presents under the tree.

Awwww.... (0:

He was really good at opening his own presents too.

Mike got this thing. ...Its Something for a gun.

Graham was cute and liked Jeff and Josie.

 

Grandpa and Grandma knew just what Stu wanted.

And what Graham wanted.

 {{{{Now, imagine a really great picture of me with a cute high bun and Ida's scarf on (because I forgot to wear a necklace or anything) ...Nope it doesn't exist, because I forgot to take a picture of myself... Story of my life! But I was there and had a great time too!}}}

 Then we had a Birthday party for Lisa! Which included this cute angle cake!!

And, because no one can blow out their own candles, Stu helped.

Thanks Ryans for a great Christmas!!
