Christmas Afternoon

Christmas afternoon was special because my parents came over and we go to see a white Christmas! We had a delicious and easy meal provided by Omaha Steaks. Here are a few images of our fun together.
Mother made this delicious peppermint cheesecake with an Oreo crust..seriously you can't go wrong with it!

One of our favoite gifts from Santa were the NERF Laser Guns.  Adults to our two year old daughter have already learned and enjoyed the game.  Last night we turned out all the lights and divided into teams and had a great time ambushing each other.  Here is my daddy getting in on some action.  If you have never palyed we encourage you to try it sometime! 

Tennyson got some new clothes from our favorite store...Janie and Jack.  She was so excited and as she was opening them she said "let's go dress up."

With two older brothers Tennyson is pretty good at remote controlled items..so this girly version of a my little pony remote car was real exciting for her.

Every year my mother gives all her grandchildren Hallmark oranaments to put on our Christmas tree.  It is a real exciting time each year to unwrap, play and hang them...a fun tradition.

Braxton had outgrown  his coveralls and was super excited to get a new pair to keep hiim warm while palying outside.  He got right to work the next morning cutting trees for a new trail to our bottom pasture. He and his brother organized all the trees they cut by size and have plans to build a house.

And a matching beanie! 

Granddaddy and Asher laughed and laughed as they played with Flarp noise putty...compliments from Santa!

The last time we were visiting San Diego we saw a billboard of 'Asher's Chocolates'...mother and daddy found some and gave them to our lil' chocolate lover.

Mrs. Melanie gave the boys the new Karate Kid movie.  They were so excited and have been dressing up in their Great Uncle Ed's Karate uniform and putting on their own version of karate shows for us.

The kids got new pillows and Tennyson and I were trying it out. They have actually been sleeping better!

A rare pic of me...I am usually behind the camera

Daddy got us a battery tester. A wonderul and much needed gift.

We were blessed to get two new Wii games and controls.  We like to have Family Fun Night and play board games or the Wii. We look forward to trying out Wii Party from my mother and Daddy and Family Game night 3 from Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Mike.  We are always amazed how technologically advanced Braxton is than we are...how they figure stuff out is facinating.

Here are Mother and Daddy looking at their annual calendar

Uncle Mike and Aunt Marilyn came over to celebrate Christmas with us. We had a fun time playing with Christmas gifts and eating French Onion Soup.
