Christmas in February

Okay, so we didn't really have Christmas in February. But we are going to relive it all the same... December was packed with fun leading up to the "big day!"

Temple Lights
We had a trip to the Temple lights where Abbey was so excited to see Baby Jesus and all the lights that we walked around the grounds twice!

Mike was happy to just chill in the stroller with the hot cocoa!


Christmas Parties
Then there were the parties on both sides of the family. First was the Webb family get together at Christine's and Jared's. We were going to met at the Temple lights, but it was raining. Instead we enjoyed hot cocoa, cookies and treats at Christine and Jareds.

Next was the Merrill white elephant party at Heidi and Jeremiah's. This will have to be a tradition every year, it was a lot of fun!
The kids were having fun with Bode's trains, it kept them happy the whole time.

David and Tricia were given a early Christmas gift from the kids, a picture of the St. George Temple where they were married! I think they liked it.

Here Tim is telling stories with his hands. It was probably a police story!

I love sneaking pictures of grandparents with the grandkids!



Christmas
After the parties it was on to the big day. Tim worked Christmas Eve so I was lucky to have Carrie spend the night and be a fellow "Santa's helper ;)"

Santa brought Mike and Abbey a rocking horse, and Abbey a cool princess bike!

First thing Abbey went to was the horse... she was so excited! This girl loves horses!

Mike was excited about his new balls, this boy loves to play with any kind of ball!


This has to be my favorite part of Christmas morning. The first pictures of the adults looking all sleepy and tired, yet happy!
Carrie knows better and hid herself pretty good with her stocking gifts!

Tim wins with his red puffy eyes for sure!

Why do our noses swell when tired? Mine always does, and gets red too!

I guess just because you're an adult, you don't out grow the Christmas excitement. Tim's new i-touch i-pod. He made no secret that this was all he wanted!

One of my favorite gifts... the Bose sounddock for my i-pod. I love it!!


Christmas Brunch
After our early morning gift opening was over we went to Christine and Jared's for the Webb Christmas tradition of Christmas brunch!
I was in charge of making pancakes, Christine was cooking the sausage.

Here Cameron is playing with Carrie's Mac. You can video yourself and manipulate your face to look so funny. It was so funny that I cried laughing!

A rare good picture of Abbey (you can see Jenny laughing at Cameron's face on the computer in the background!)

This was not planned... but all of us girls were wearing a shade of blue. Don't we all look good, we had to get a picture.

And like Jenny and Jared say... we had to get some sibling pictures because we were all together! (which happens quite often!) It was hard keeping a straight face for these. Cameron and Christine were doing the High School dance posing.

Merry Christmas (this was the best shot of Abbey believe it or not!)

Oh yeah, we had as close as you can get to a white Christmas here in the valley... Rain!!
