Merry Christmas To All and To All a Goodnight!!

Jason and Em joined us for our annual Christmas tree hunt this year! We usually go on Thanksgiving but, this year, decided to try something new ! We had a good time and in my opinion found the PERFECT tree! I LOVE IT! SO- I know these pics are a little late but, better late than never! (and yes I look like a goober)

TA DA!! AFTER:

For Christmas Eve we went to Dan and Kel's an enjoyed a delicious bowl of Clam Chowder and played Quelf with Jess and Kevin and Matt! It was a blast ( however I think the boys were less than amused). The food was great and the company even better. Thanks for a fun night you guys!
We hurried home to wind the K daug down and get him to bed so that Santa could come! I know, I know, I am 25 but I still believe in Santa and he definitely found our house this year (pic below) as did Grandmas and Grandpas AND Aunts and Uncles. Kayson had a fabulous Christmas!

Who knew that a new pair of shoes could be soooo exciting?He made Bry put them on him as soon as he opened them! The Movie, "Cars" is Kayson's favorite right now and he got all kinds of stuff to prove it!

Here's a quick video for Grandma's and Grandpa's- unfortunately I missed the classic face right when we got out to the living room but we did catch some pretty serious dancing and Kayson's enthusiasm for present opening! ( After the first several gifts he finally figured out that there was fun stuff inside and then he was a present opening machine- but I failed to capture that on camera!) We got a kick out of him opening things- if a present was opened and the contents were clothes he discarded it quickly with disgust and tried a different one! They aren't supposed to know the difference at 18 months!!!!!! He looks like he just woke up cause he pretty much did and he wasn't feeling 100% -we got hit with a nasty cold bug on Christmas Eve... but he still made us giggle!

** Just a quick side note- anyone who creates a toy that cannot be shut off should be punished! THANKS MOM!! :) (Just our luck- Kayson loves it!) The batteries are coming out tomorrow.

We spent Christmas Day at the Westerberg's. Fun was had by all- Grandpa took the girls for sled rides behind the snowmobile! Later we bundled Kayson up and he went outside for a tractor ride with Grandpa! Good food, and family, what more could you ask for!

We had A Very Merry Christmas and we feel so blessed for all that we have! We hope that your Christmas was as good as ours........
