Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas! We were able to move into our house on the 20th of this month. Cutting it close to Christmas, but we are so glad that we got to be in our own house for Christmas! On Christmas Eve we put up our Christmas tree real fast, it has lights already on it so we just let it be. We didn't bother decorating it, just wanted it in the pictures at least. ;)

Christmas Eve we did our usual and went Aaron's parents for a yummy brunch and to open gifts and then to my parents house for our annual party. Once we got there my eyes started itching so bad and then my throat started itching and I got a rash all over my chest. It was so weird. I noticed a little bite on my chest so I don't know if that caused my reaction or earlier I had been eating pistachios so it could have been that. Who knows, but I loaded up on benedryl so I was pretty out of it, but I managed to stay awake!

We first open our Christmas jammies and the we always play Bingo and Blackout. The blackout prize is $50 so everyone always wants to win! Guess who won this year? Dax! How funny, he would have been just as excited if he would have gotten $1. I'm sure that makes everyone a little mad. hee hee hee. My dad and mom also bought Band Hero so we played that forever. It was so funny to watch everyone.

Our cute family in our jammies. Don't mind my swollen face and glazed eyes, the benedryl had kicked in

Then we headed home to get to bed so Santa could come. :)

Santa was very good to us this year. Dax got a remote control jet, a pinball machine and a jacket that zips all the way up like Derek's. The babies got a kitchen, a basketball hoop, and Jacee got a playpen and stroller for her doll.

Christmas morning!

Dax was so excited, didn't know what to go to first

The babies had no idea what was going on

The basketball hoop was a hit!

Jaxon loved the clipo

We got Dax a learning laptop
