Merry Christmas

To start off the Christmas Holiday this year we started by going to my sisters house for lunch with my family, then we headed off to Reeds brothers for dinner with his family. When we finally got home we had to hurry & get our pj's on.. get Santa's cookies & milk ready..& hang Santa's "magic" key outside on the front door so he could get in the house!! B4 we headed off to bed the girls opened their gift from Nana..every year they have opened her gift on Christmas Eve & even though she wasn't here this year we couldn't break tradition...then it was off to bed. Hailey was so excited it took her a bit to calm down, she kept getting out of her bed to look out the window to see if she could see Santa..FINALLY she fell asleep. Christmas morning was a lot of fun..as usual Ellie was the 1st one up & we had to wake little miss. After we opened presents it was time to get ready & go to my moms for our traditional Christmas breakfast..we had to open presents b4 we ate cuz all the kids were very anciy. After that was finished it was off to my dads for MORE presents & our Christmas dinner...Roxy's chili..YUM!! Brooke & Brad were there, it was nice to visit with them, we haven't sen them since June. Then it was time to go home!! We had a WONDERFUL Christmas this year & hope all of you did too!!

Brrrr..it's cold outside

Yesterday Reed took the girls across the street to go sleading at the park....it was so cold outside that I had to REALLY bundle little one up!! (Dont mind the evil dog in the background)

"Thank You Pretty Grandma"

Kathy & Ralph were in town on Sat. to celebrate Christmas!! We were all VERY suprised that Ralph came with her..but the reason hedid was because he didn't want her to be driving alone in that BIG snow storm that came thru. Anyway we all went over to Jim & Sue's for dinner and to exchange gifts..and big suprise Reed & I got tickets to the Las Vegas NASCAR race (if you don't know, we get them EVERY year), Ellie got a Twilight T-shirt, the movis sound track & a cool bag from Hot Topic (her favorite store) & my little miss got Tinkerbell dressup dress & as you can see in the picture that dinosaur..it is the cutest thing, it respond to the kids and they can ride it..Hailey & Adam played on it ALL night long. when we got home Hailey said that on christmas eve we need to make sure that we put "Ellie Goodrich" (thats what she named it & it's ticking my Ellie off..VERY funny, in her room so she dosen't growl @ Santa! she's funny..so Thank you very much pretty grandma..we love you & merry christmas!!

Today Shannon & I took the kids to Ellie's & Brysons ortho office to see Santa & have some refreshments......Im SO HAPPY that Hailey did not cry at all!!! So here is aCUTE picture with Santa..NO CRYING!!!!

Christmas Street

Last night Reed & I took Hailey to Christmas Street..as usual Ellie did not want to go, anyway Hailey LOVED it!! When we were finished she asked Reed if we could drive thru it again, so instead we took to Winder Dairy...they had a few houses lit but not like it used to be when I was little, but it was still fun..Hailey said we now have to go find christmas houses EVERY night!! We'll see if that happens!! Here are a few pictures of last night.....Merry Christmas!!
