Here is the start of Christmas in Cali... these pics include Christms eve and Christmas Day! What a fun time we had at my parents this year! My mom and dad did so much to make it festive! We arrived to my parents dancing to Christmas music in the garage... went inside to see game tables set up and tournament posters made out with everyones names on it! (I might have won the Yahtzee tournament in which the prize was a Chilis gift card! Thank you!) There were about twenty presents the kids had to immediately open with games activities and crafts for the kids and us to do! HOW FUN! :) Every minute was full of excitement! THANKS MOM AND DAD FOR SUCH GOOD MEMORIES! YOU'RE THE BEST!
Christmas eve... getting ready for Santa to come! Ready for the stocking march! Unlce Micah high jacked our picture and i love it! Notice our UTAH JAMS! To coordinate with Brocks helmet! :) And for Grandpa Rosell a Ute!
The group! There were alot of us! 17 in total! :) Lots of noise and alot of fun!
These two rascals paraded around the floor finding whatever they could get their hands on!
Our letters to Santa! Micah and Halie wrote their own this year!!
Micah chillin'... he needs a cousin that is his age!
Ruthie "writing" her letter to Santa! She is the cutest thing ever!
The cousins minus Braxton.. I believe he was zonked out after to much partying!
Brock and his silly scrunched up face from his helmet and his Santas helper bink!
Christmas Morning! SO EXCITED! SANTA CAME!!
YAY! SANTA CAME Halie is crazy!!
The boys tackling eachother on the blow up!
Christmas for the kids... adults presents weren't even out yet! ALL THESE kids are SPOILED!
Micah was SO ANIMATED... Every present was the best! "Santa GOT ME EVERYTHING I WANTED!" It was fun to see him so excited!
This little munchkin made Christmas so fun! Something magical about a little baby at Christmas! LOVE HIM!
Micah trying to get Halie excited... she needed a moment (ok maybe an hour) to warm up to even looking at her presents!
Piano Lessons here he comes! So excited about his keyboard!
Halie wouldnt look at her twin dolls or stroller or anything else that she had been asking for months for... just wanted to look at one little fur real filler present!
RUTHIE was THE FUNNEST at CHRISTMAS! Everything she opened she would intently make sure every piece of paper was off the present ... and the say so sweetly :
OH I LOVE IT! Darling!
Checking out his loot!
Jeff begging Halie to open a gift... wouldn't even glance at her twins or stroller little stink!
Warming up... literally after everyone else was done opening!
Brock just happy to chew on something! DARLING!
One of his favorite toys to this day from GMA and GPA!
My favorite gift of the year... a Handmade Calendar from Micah that "he's worked on ALL YEAR at SCHOOL... IT WAS SO MUCH WORK!" So sweet! Love every page!
See the baby in purple... that was a re-gift from my mom... still her favorite doll ... I could have saved alot of money if I would have only known! Children! :) HA HA!
Mom we will take any re-gifts next year... I won't buy a thing!
I did score on getting a diaper bag that she liked!
And this would be the ONE AND ONLY picture of my kids / Ruthie in their CHristmas best! Halie took the newborn baby... rocked it all during church... stood up in the middle isle and bounced her... when I told her to sit down .. she whispered to me "My babies crying... I can't!" That was pretty cute!
Let the unwrapping begin! We waited till after church for the adults to open! Made Christmas literally last all day! We didn't get done opening till 4:30! My parents ALWAYS spoil us rotten! Thanks mom and Dad!
The boys in their turtle ball pins! Aren't these the cutest! Another hit from GMA and GPA! Love little braxton! Glad Brock has a buddy his age forever!
One of the gifts of the season(atleast in my mind!) Me and megan found this cute "Back Rub" shirt on pinterest and decided my dad, jeff and Matt all needed one... My dad and Matt are always sprawled out on the floor at family gatherings taking a little snooze! We personalized the shirts to their favorite places... the kids took the cars and drove all over! So fun!
IT WAS A FABULOUS CHRISTMAS! MORE POSTS ABOUT CHRISTMAS COMING! :) HOpefully before Valentines day!
