Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

It was another busy holiday season filled with all of our friends and family. We kicked off the Christmas season with an early Christmas at Nana's. All of the grandkids were able to be there which I know made her day. All four of her grandkids are now married or engaged so it's starting to be a packed house! Our next get together was Justin's extended family Christmas. We always have tons of food and fun. We do a Chinese Christmas and it is a blast. This year Madison was my target and I am so glad I did not get stuck with the High School Musical Board game, although it was fun picking on her! Our Christmas Eve was a quite one. Justin's parents came over and we had our Christmas with them. It was a much needed relaxing evening. We had a fire and peppermint hot cocoa while the kids played with their new toys. That night Justin snuck back over to his parents house to pick up Allison's puppy. I can not believe we were able to pull it off. She had absolutely no clue!! And if you know Allison it is really hard to surprise her! Bright and early at 6am we put the puppy in bed with her, her reaction was priceless. She was so happy!
Colton didn't quite know what to make of Christmas yet, but that didn't keep him from getting every toy possible. New Year's of course is always fun for us too. We usually have all of our family and friends over to play games. This year it was just my sisters and their families. The kids always have a blast getting to stay up late and have their sparkling grape juice. This year we played pictionary followed by Rockband on the Wii. This was Mimi's present to my husband. The kids are all really good at it. I have attached some pics of all of our festivities. From our house to yours I hope everyone had a Great Christmas..and wishing everyone a Very Blessed New Year!
