Christmas

We had a great Christmas break this year. First we went to Carma & Jerry's for our Mordecai Christmas party where we got to meet a few of our new family members. We ate lots of food and played some fun Christmas games. During one of the kids games our niece got the present she wanted taken away by another one of the kids. She had a huge melt down. Vaughn and I just sat there laughing (sorry Brittney), we where SO glad that is wasn't us anymore!


Vaughn & Josh on their phones...as always

Christmas Eve we went to my parents house for the Shelton family Christmas party. We again ate tons of food and played fun games and opened presents from Grandma & Grandpa. Oh and I can't forget our annual talent show....

Christmas day we got up at 8 and opened presents with our family. At 10 we went over to Vaughn's Mom's house for breakfast. Jerry has a tradition of making a big breakfast Christmas morning and having anyone that wants to come and eat. At 1 my family came over for the day. We ate (seems to be a theme here) and visited the rest of the day. It was a very laid back and enjoyable day.

We always have the kids line up to come down for Christmas

Mitch got a soccer ball from Josh...no we never have enough soccer balls.

Andy was surprised to get an iPod.

Josh...such a handsome boy...he's taller than me now :( not much of a boy anymore.

Maddi got car "stuff" from Andy


Vaughn had work off for the whole break. It was really nice to have him around. We had a couple of futsal games but for the most part we just stayed home. Maddi and Andy had a few friends over on New Years eve. Wait they had friends over every night. We didn't go to bed until 1 or 2 the entire break. Luckily we got to sleep in until 9 or 10 everyday too. It was really fun to have so many kids around. I love that my children enjoy being home and that their friends enjoy being here. I am blessed to have such a great family!
