A Truly Delightful Christmas after all...

for all of my worry and stress. Christmas was fabulous!

this was the BEST YEAR EVER!

sure i didn't have anything wrapped. or pre sorted. and it WAS 2 major late nights in a row.

and i did go non stop.

BUT it went well.

the kids were happy with their christmas eve Pj's!

we put them on and then went to Grandma Jones'

for our traditional hot cocoa and toast !

then there was a long night of wrapping and whatnot...

and when we woke up? SANTA HAD COME! and filled our stockings.

new sparklefabulous ones! (thanks to Uncle Gary for giving them to us for our Family gift!)

this year pierce had a hard time not wanting everyone else's stuff.

he wants Joy's horse. and decided it was just right to sit on.

Hope and Pierce were quite the pair 'riding' on the horses.

they scooted around on them for a little while.

I would never want a kitchen item for Christmas but Lance was REALLY EXCITED about this food processor.

the house was party ready just in time for the family Lunch.

after lunch...

we had an awesome 20 minutes of adult play on Guitar Hero world tour. Me on vocals, Lance played Guitar, with my brother in Law Travis on Bass,and My brother Aaron on the drums! best 20 minutes of the holiday! SO TOTALLY FUN!

then we went to Lance's mom's for dinner at 5:00. it was quite the extravaganza including dinner, white elephant gift exchange, and cookie decorating.

it was a LONG DAY!

we came home and put kids in bed, some were asleep when we got home, i played guitar hero with Liberty for a long while and then she went to bed. later i played with Lance and Peyton . with me on drums. which let me tell ya, i suck at, but i can finally finish a couple songs . yay me! it was LOADS of fun!

so yeah it was a long day. but I'd say this was my best Christmas ever!

(best in the last 3 years anyway)

ya wanna see what Santa brought me?
