Christmas Morning 2013

Christmas morning was finally here!  This is what we woke up too!  Everyone was excited but Jordan especially had been waiting for nearly 2 months!  Jord was probably my favorite part of the Christmas season.  She found and thoughtfully wrapped 3 or 4 gifts for each of her siblings and Jeff and I.  It brought such a special spirit into our home!

 Jord made this poster for the fireplace and hung it up in mid-November!  She had been patiently waiting for Christmas morning since then!

I was so grateful that Chase was with us!  We weren't sure if it would happen.  He started a new job in Texas and time off can be hard to come by.  I was so happy he was with us!  I absolutely LOVE when he is home!  He and Jeff got a good day of skiing in before Christmas.  Then we celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and spent a day with Mitch and that was it!  It was time for him to go back.  Chase got super boring stuff for the most part..  Some under armor, clothes, socks, dress clothes… like I said boring!  He did get a Redskins Jersey!

 Jeff and I had a great Christmas.  Jeff spoiled me as usual.  I got clothes, some awesome boots, a new Kindle, more shoes (shocker) and some Pandora beads from the kids!  Jeff got some new shoes, some new clothes, a set of "drop-stops", and a temple picture for our room. 

 Chase also got a Beard-Ski.  Here he is sporting it!

 here is sweet Jord with what she gave Jeffey.  You can't see this but she had put all of it in a pink lunchbox.  She is so delightful!

 Tay got clothes, a Broncos jersey, new ski helmet, more clothes and this medal hanger for all of her soccer medals.  Those are pictures of her team in it.  She loved it!!

 Jordan got all things American Girl Doll.  I was just eating this up because it may be my last year of "toys"  She got a new American girl doll and the following things for her American girl dolls:  bike, bike trailer, pets, cello, tent, sleeping bags, suit cases and clothes!  She also got a few clothes for herself.  Here she is biting the ear of the 5 lb gummy bear that Chaser gave her.  What a perfect gift!!

 T made it last Christmas Eve.  She got new clothes, a Buckle gift card, new glasses and new contacts.  She got some new make up and a suit case.

Belle even got spoiled.  She got some dog treats and this sweater.  Love her!

Here is Chaser with the gifts he got for the girls.  5 lb gummy bear and 1 lb chocolate bar.  No wonder they LOVE him so much!!!

We had an awesome relaxing Christmas morning.  We ate our traditional breakfast of cinnamon rolls and breakfast casserole.  It was a wonderful Christmas!  We missed Mitchy and wished he could have been with us!!
