Christmas Day at MamaJan's and Papa's
This year we slept in a little, it was already 7:15 when we got up to go open presents. Yes, everyone sleeps at my Mom and Dad's House - Mom, Dad, Sunny, Holly, Tony, Cheyenne, Savannah, Sierra, Jonathan, Sierra, Me, Ryan, Katie and Rylie. We have a full house, but there are no changing traditions!! But, we are thankful for Mom's new schoolroom that was added onto their house this past year. It made a nice big living room for everyone to open their presents. 










Here are all the grandkids with their bins and in their brand new pajamas (MamaJan gets them new ones every year to wear the night before Christmas)!! MamaJan decided a couple of years ago to put all their unwrapped presents in these bins - then one at a time they go around and pull out everything in it. Then we have a storage bin to take home - how nice!!
Christmas Eve
Well, Santa stops by our house the night before Christmas EVE so the girls can open their presents on Christmas Eve morning, since we will be spending the night at my Mom and Dad's house for Santa to visit us there on Christmas Day! Not that Katie really wants to have anything to do with Santa at all, but anyway...

They had fun tearing into their stockings...Rylie found all of Katie's candy and was trying to eat it right through the package!
Ryan (above) and Rylie (below) open the presents Katie wrapped all by herself especially for them!

Rylie got Katie a Hannah Montanna CD (her favorite person right now)
We finally opened a sucker for Rylie, she couldn't focus on anything else until it was opened!


Then we got dressed to go to Grandmother's for Lunch and a whole night of fun!! This is my Mom's side of the family. We eat, then play cards/games/talk/enjoy each other's company, then around 5:30 we all gather around the living room, well everywhere now b/c there are so many people and sing Christmas Songs all together, listen to the Christmas Story from the Bible, and then open presents!
