Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was spent at Colby's parents house. We opened up gifts there, so the kids were beyond excited. My mom and dad also joined us this year.

Bailey anxiously awaiting opening up gifts.
Raif too!

Say cheese!

Christmas Eve night, Boomer got to the cookies and milk while we put the kids to bed. He even drank the milk. Not even one spill!

Early Christmas Eve Morning

Christmas Eve morning we always let the kids open up a present. This year I picked two presents for them to open, a new robe and slippers and two games. Every year we've always let them open up some type of game. Then we all play the game before we start our day. The robes and slippers was just an added bonus so they could walk down Christmas morning in them!

Bailey and her peace signs. We also had a fun game of Trouble!

Raif got too hot in his robe, but was loving Pop the Pig.

Witt Family Christmas

December 23rd Kelly and Eli hosted our Witt Family Christmas. We feasted on enough food for an army, and had plenty of Colby's eggnog! It's always a good time when we get together!

Bailey's Holiday Sing

Bailey had her holiday sing at school. She even got to announce one of the songs! She was all smiles and so adorable singing her heart out.

Eli's 40th Birthday Celebration

For Eli's 40th, we hosted a fun casino type night. Jaymee, along with a few of her cheerleaders, were our dealers for the night. We played roulette, black jack, and poker. It was a great celebration of Eli!

Birthday Celebrations

December is birthday month. We celebrated Colby's parents at Hotel Bel Aire, Colby's at Chuckie Cheese, and mine at home. Some I managed to capture with pictures, other I did not.
