Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, Brandon's brother and his family came up and we went sledding up above his parent's house! I haven't been in quite some time and it was pretty fun! Chayse went down once with Brandon and once by himself..and he fell off..so that ended his sledding for the day. He had fun building things with Aunt Stacy in the snow though, so he was happy! Alexa went down a couple times and didn't know what to think..but didn't cry..so I would say it was a success!

When I was younger I would constantly eat snow...I guess I passed on that weird quirk because that is Chayse's favorite thing. Don't worry..I have since kicked the habit. :)

Going....to....
biff it... It was way funnier in person haha!

After that we went in, got warmed up, had a delicous Christmas Eve lunch and opened presents with Justin and his family!

Alexa has a tendency to attack people's faces...
but Taylor still loves her anyway! :)
After Justin and Jenny headed home...everyone opened their Christmas jammies, snacked, chatted, watched "Fred Claus" and had fun enjoying being around family!

Chayse was so excited his Aunt Stacy was home for Christmas!

They love eachother....
most of the time! :)

This was Alexa's first Christmas! This is a position we often find Alexa in...she is special. :)

K, so we got Chayse and Alexa little kitchen for Christmas from Santa. I don't want to hear it. I know Chayse is a boy and a kitchen seems girly, but he LOVES them. It's his favorite toy in nursery, he constantly has my kitchen stuff out and pretends to make food for me. Boys can like the kitchen..that is all I am going to say! :)

So on to why I brought that up. It was late on Christmas Eve and Brandon and I were going to start putting together the kitchen. We emptied everything and realized there wasn't any screws! I was freaking out needless to say. Very colorful words were passing through my mind as I was certain my son's Christmas was ruined. We searched all over and couldn't find them anywhere! My father in law kindly started putting everything back in the box while I was moping..and lo and behold....Jordan found them! They had fallen out on the couch under a pillow when we had lifted up the box to pull out the parts. He saved Christmas! :) Thanks Jordan! So Brandon, Travis and myself put it all together and it all worked out! :)
