I can't believe that I'm even going to post these pictures SO late. I may have my blog printed into a book (eventually) and I can't leave out CHRISTMAS! My parents came over the Monday before Christmas and we opened presents with them (the kids got a Wii!). We had our big annual Christmas Eve party at my parents house (with the ENTIRE family-around 30 people). It's always so much fun. We let the boys open one present when they got home before they went to bed. We woke up and Santa had come to see us!! The kids played with their Santa gifts and stockings. We got ready and went to Jared's parents house for lunch and stockings (and the kids had a gift exchange and the adults played Dirty Santa). We went home, had dinner, and opened OUR gifts. We enjoyed that part SO much. It was SO laid back and we weren't rushed. The kids played with every gift as they opened it. We weren't able to plan a time until the next week to open gifts with Jared's parents. It was fun to have Christmas last a little longer though :). This is a very abbreviated post but I just don't want to forget what we did!!
Every Christmas morning we put the camera on the couch and set the timer so that we can get a family picture. Never great but I love them!!
Oh, and we usually do a silly one!
Notice the names on the package. It's become another one of our traditions (started by Jared) to make the gift from someone funny. I forgot on the first few and Jared had to go back and change them!!
On Christmas Eve, Lydia brought gifts to Jared one by one. I don't know how she carried some of them. She was very determined. We had to put them all back under the tree when she went to bed but it was too cute to watch.
Harrison on Christmas morning. I didn't get a good one of the rest of the crew.
Harrison hanging the stockings back up after we had emptied them.
Christmas night at our house. I don't think they've ever had so much fun opening gifts. They took their time and watched each other. 
H got a remote control like Zane.
"You'll shoot your eye out!" I love this picture!!

This is my mom with Lydia and my nephew Carter. I wish that I would've gotten a picture of them standing together. 
I just love this shirt!
My niece Lexie got a Coach purse for Christmas. Lydia loved carrying it around and cried when I took it away. We're going to be in trouble. This girl has good taste!
Harrison and my nephew Jacob. They are BEST friends. It's the sweetest friendship!!!
Lyddie texting her friends!
Harrison obviously loved the scooter that Mema and PaPa got him.
Zane got an automatic air soft gun. He was equally excited (if not more so). I just didn't catch it in the picture.
