Pseudo Christmas!

Because Mom and I will be gone next week for "real" Christmas we had Christmas Eve and Christmas this Friday and Saturday. It doesn't really matter WHEN you celebrate, as long as you are with loved ones and remember the true meaning of this holiday. Here's some pictures to document the occasion:

Stupid Kitty. I was wrapping presents and she was sitting in a JcPenney bag with her head out the handle hole. Someone made a loud noise and she takes off with the bag flapping around her neck, like a cape.

Every Year I am "Santa" which means that I pass out the gifts to everyone.

Brandon and his Star Wars toy.

Ann & Ty opening gifts

Kristin- fascinated by her Twilight book

The Family got a Wii game called the Outdoor Chellenge and this is me and Brent sprinting. Quite the workout.

Sisi, Me and Brent

Typical.

Mom and Grandpa

Brent drew this prize (the hat) from the White Elephant. (The Rose bath kit was Tre's).

Tyler liked the hat too- it was a hit!

Brandon won this Mexican Poncho. The hat was just the cherry on top.

We have this tradition that all the unmarried grandchildren get to reach in the money jar, a jar full of coins, and pull out a handful. We look forward to it every year!

Tré getting a good grab.

Brent warming up his fingers. It's hard for him because he has such big hands that when he gets a big handful-he cen't get it out the top. :(

Brent grabbing and Grandpa making sure it's fair play.

The new Champ- $41.70

We've already had our Christmas and had a great time. We hope that yours is filled with the same love and laughter. Merry Christmas!
