We had a fantastic christmas this year. The kids were excited with everything they got and have played nonstop with them.
TJ was just as excited about christmas that he told the kids that they could open one present the beginning of the week of Christmas and said that it was something that he did with his family. They were excited to just finally be able to open one .

TJ got me a new watch!! I have yet to get it resized so I can wear it. 
We also got to see Santa again this year, The local back hosts Santa and the kids were so excited to go and see him. This is how excited Tanner was this year, he went running in and jumped in to Santa's lap.

All of us with Santa! and TJ showing off his other christmas present a Pats coat!
On the 23rd of Dec we made a few little treats to have at our party we were having Christmas eve with the Missionaries and another family from our branch. TJ made fudge and we dipped pretzels with the kids. They turned out good and the kids had a blast shaking the stuff on top.
Christmas Eve we had a great time, We had our missionaries over as well as another family to celeberate Christmas Eve with. This is us after dinner relaxing while we gave the missionaries a gift. When TJ was younger his parents would always have the missionaries over and she would have there family send their presents to her home and they would be there to open their gifts. Well one of the gifts that she would give them was new Ties, So this year I figured that would be a good thing for my kids to do and we had a great time picking out the ties that we thought would match them.

Then they had a tie tieing contest, It was so funny to watch
The kids opening there Christmas Jammies Tanner had gotten to his before I could stop him and had toput them up on the fridge till after dinner. He was so excited.
After they opened them we went and changed so they could wear there jammies and new slippers.
Their stuff from Santa
Running out to see what Santa brought them (the night before Makena was taking her medican and well she didn't like it and ended up throwing up and so that is why she is in a different top)
Checking out what was in their stockings. Makena got makeup and Tanner got a kid shaving kit
Trying his new razor. LOL now he can be just like daddy when he his shaving.
Makena finally got a barbie car, and ohh how happy she was!!

I realised that I have no pictures of myself this christmas and all my wonderful gifts I received. I received my watch, a pearl neckless to match the pearl earrings I received a few christmases ago. An opal neckless and a new purse from TJ. Christmas Day we ended up going back to the Branch Presidents home and had dinner with him and his family and a couple of other families as well as the missionaries. It was great and we had such a good time.
