From Our Family to Yours!

Our Christmas started with Drew's work party which was perfect for getting us into the holiday spirit. We had plenty of fun mingling, playing games, and stuffing our faces (while talking crap of course). There was a taco eating contest that I was determined to win! But sadly, another girl out ate me by 3 and a half tacos. :/ While I was still tied with our friend Becca I knew I couldn't let her beat me! (This is my competetive bone coming through!) I ATLEAST had to eat one taco more than her.... and I did! Lol. Now I have the pleasure of telling her I am one up on her in life. (Not really though. :]) We decided it would be nice to take a picture next to the nice "fireplace" in the wearhouse. Boy did that keep us warm! ;)

Little Easton ready for Christmas with a nice nic on his forehead... For some reason my kids are prone to havin scrapes and bruises on them for special ocasions... Hailey's first and second birthday pictures both show her with a scrape or bruise on her nose or forehead. Lol... and now Easton with Christmas.

We had some family dinner time with Drew's side of the family. Here are some of the little ladies in the family. Alyson (in the back) Madelyn? (to the left... she has a twin and im taking a WILD guess...) Riley and Hailey!

A couple of the boys and Alyson.

A couple of the guys watching football... what would the Holiday's be like without sports?

Jessica and Braden getting warm by the fire.

We had our first presents at our friend's house a week or so before Christmas. I think he was more excited than we were to get our kids gifts! Lol.

Hailey opening a really cute outfit from Andrew Mccormick and his parents.

She opened up a pair of shoes last and she was more excited for those shoes than her outfit and this awesome life sized baby she got! So funny the things that make our kids happy. =]

Hailey with her new cute outfit on.

Andrew helping Easton open his very first gift! He got a couple of really cute Christmas outfits and even cuter boots.

Easton in his cute "My first Christmas" onsie and his super cute boots! Thank you Andrew!!! We love them! :D

Hailey posing by the Christmas tree, she's not quite sure what she's doing though. Lol.

We tried getting some cute pictures of them by the fire and tree but it's def harder than it looks but this one turned out good.

This one.... not so much. She was tired of the papparazi. Haha!

Easton and his crazy smile!

We are so blessed to have such beautiful kids! I absolutely love them to pieces!

We then had a Christmas party with my Dad's side of the family.

Here are some of the boys playing Black Ops... a new game we are addicted too... and are also making others addicted to! My brother Damion is in the green jacket and my cousin Kyle and his girlfriend Jasmine.

My Mom and Aunt Cheryl and my foster sister Arora! So cute! It's cool to see her in this dress, it was Hailey's dress when she was 3 months old!

My cousin PJ's wife Amanda holding Easton. (We think he has a thing for her... he had google eyes the entire night at her. Lol.)

My little sister Rylie and Hailey playing in the hallway.

A couple of my cousins and my Grandma Smith.

Almost all of my favorites! From left to right: The sister Julia, the brother Zach, the sister Sydney, the cousin Kayla, and the cousin Stephen.

Last but certainly not least... We had Christmas Eve with Andrew's family.

Oma (Grandma in German) with Easton and cousin Braden.

I just HAD to throw this random picture of Easton in here... I need to find the cute picture of Hailey asleep at this age in her Bumbo Seat. But this was waaaay too cute! I guess it was a long day for him... =]

All of the grandkids (and a cousin) reading while the Moms dominate on Black Ops! Lol.

Riley, Chloe, Luke, Braden, and Hailey.

No joke! This girl gets MAD when you try to help... she's a self taught kinda gal. I think this game just makes you violent regardless of the person, personality, gender, or race! Lol.

.... annnnd of course we had to let the boys have a turn or two.

Drew, Preston (cousin), Daniel (brother), Ben (brother), and Josh (brother).

Uncle Justin visited for Christmas from Utah! Glad to see him around these parts of town here and there.

Opa and Hailey sleeping.

Our New Year started out the best way it could have...

We got to spend time with some great friends. We played some games we all love, ate the best food, and drank the best drinks. We even went all out and made some homemade dessert! [root beer floats. ;)]

Hailey and Easton playing around on the floor. I just love their shirts!

Becca enjoying Easton before her little bean comes along!

Hailey trying to help Drew and Scott get things set up for our long night.

Hailey lasted until about 10:30 or 11. We knew it was time for bed when she started laughing uncontrolably everytime Easton would roll over... She would roll him back to his stomach just to watch him do it again! It was so cute and funny!

Dad putting Hailey to bed.

My kids' last picture of two thousand and ten. It's so scary knowing another year has passed and with every year my kids will get older and older... I just hope they stay close to their Mom and Dad! I don't think I can handle anymore heartache with my kids being too grown up. :/

We hope you all enjoyed your holidays, we sure did!

So from our family to yours.... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! =]
