We had a wonderful Christmas! Brian and Shannon spent the weekend with us, which was so fun! The girls told people that their jungle gym would be arriving on Christmas Eve (or in this case their jungle Brian.) They love climbing on Brian and snuggling with Shannon. They sure love their Aunt and Uncle! Grant and I really enjoyed having them too! Here are a few pictures from Christmas... 1) Tierra was happy with what she received, 2) Aurora with her Christmas cereal, 3) Santa wrote Sariah back and she was pretty excited, 4) Aurora especially loved what she got in her stocking, 5) But Riana wasn't- LOL! Just kidding! We all got a little coal!, 6) Uncle Brian was nice enough to put Nina's shopping cart together- thanks Uncle Brian!, 7) Someone else thought it was hers too- good thing Nina is good at sharing :), 8-11) Brian and Shannon with a few of their gifts, 12) Grant with a few of his gifts (he really wanted an apron because he kept ruining shirts with grease stains and both aprons were so him that I couldn't decide which one to get- he cooks with a lot of garlic!), 13-14) Riana and Karina opening the beautiful ornaments from my Grandma and Aunt Luetta, that all of the girls received, 15) Angela and a few of her gifts (I love that sign!), 16) All of the girls opening a gift together (but mostly letting Aurora do it), 17) Aurora really got excited about opening presents this year and got really good at doing it too!!, 18-20) Mommy and Daddy opening our special presents from our girls, 21) It was Karina's turn to put the star on the top of the advent calendar (a tradition from my childhood that we are able to continue, thanks to my Mom for making it for us, a few years back.) Later, on Christmas Day, we all went and saw the new "Narnia" movie in 3D. It was so crowded but the movie was good!
