Better late than never... Here was our Christmas~

Having a big family means the holidays are always a busy time of year... But I love every minute of it!

We celebrated at my parents' house on Christmas Eve.


The kids by mom's pretty tree (and a whole room full of presents)!


We had a nice dinner. This was the kids table. Trenton thought he was pretty cool because my mom lowered her high chair so he was at the same level as the other two. And don't ask what kind of face my daughter is making... She's a goofball.


Of course, my mom had a package under the tree for Baby Bucy. Tanner asked how the baby was supposed to open it... Hmmm, good question. Maybe with a little help from mommy. Can't go wrong with a mega huge case of diapers!!!

Trenton was actually getting into opening his own presents this year as well.


Brooklyn had one from Auntie Heidi and Uncle Andy that was bigger than she was. And it was wrapped in Dora paper. How cool!


Auntie Heidi also had one for Trenton that was bigger than him. His was wrapped in Cars paper. Whoah!


The big present was a basketball hoop, but Trenton thought it was more appropriate to use the box as a slide instead. Hmm, maybe we shouldn't have wasted money on presents and just given him a bunch of old boxes to play with... :)


This was Christmas morning at our house when the kids woke up. They had to check out the presents under the tree and their stockings.


Here Daddy, this one is for you!


Totally getting the hang of this unwrapping thing now!


We spent Christmas morning with Kurt's mom, sister and her husband and had a delicious breakfast. Here was Kurt's mom's beautiful tree...


Our happy family!


My handsome boy!


The kids checking out Brooklyn's new doll house. And yes, boys can play with doll houses if they want :)


Trenton got his first Harley. Watch out!

Kurt's mom seems pretty certain that Baby Bucy is going to be a girl and had this pink dress under the tree. Hmmm, what will we do with this if the baby turns out to be a boy? :)


After breakfast and presents, we headed over to my Grandma's for lunch with my family. Trenton was already worn out. Can you tell? When we got there, he had a complete melt down so had to go take a nap.


More delicious food, great conversations with family, and more presents for the kids at Grandma's house...


Brooklyn actually fell asleep on the way home after a very long day. She rarely sleeps in the car. We sure wore her out! She didn't even wake up when we unloaded...


Since we had unloaded all the packages on the kitchen table, the kids got to have dinner at their picnic table and watch Veggie Tales Little Drummer Boy. They thought that was a pretty neat treat.


The aftermath... Boy are these kids spoiled. The fun part was finding a place to put all this stuff away. We need a bigger house :)


The day after Christmas we celebrated with Kurt's dad, step mom and his sister and her husband. We had a yummy lunch at our house. And yes, the kids got even more presents to open!


I think they could really get used to this!


Then later that night we went to dinner and exchanged gifts with one of my best friends and her family. Busy Busy Busy!!!!!!

We are so blessed to have so many loved ones in our life. Although we had a great time celebrating with everyone, it sure was nice to have things calm down a bit this week and get back on our daily schedule.

We hope everyone else had a very Merry Christmas like we did :)
