Merry Christmas!

We had another great Christmas this year. It was fun being here in California for a change. AJ's family (his grandmother, aunt, uncle, and 2 cousins) all came into town on Wednesday before Christmas. It was a full house, but it was a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed getting to know their cousins Ashli and Jason. They were so much fun to play with and so good with them. AJ and I did our last minute Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. We got some good stuff for the kids. We got Aaliyah a nice new bed comforter set and some toys and clothes for Jaden and Kaylie. Jaden and Daddy put out some cookies and milk for Santa Claus that night. It was so fun to see and hear how excited Jaden was to feed Santa.

Christmas morning the kids woke up around 7:30, but we had to wait for Aaliyah to come over before we could all open presents. So I of course made a Starbucks run for everyone and got me a yummy strawberries and creme with my 2 shots of coffee. Good stuff :) Then Aaliyah got there and we started opening presents! I could not believe how many presents there were for everyone. AJ's brother Damon just started passing around presents and everyone just started opening all at once. Everyone was spoiled with presents. Jaden got a nice Christmas train set from Granddaddy, a Lightning car from Uncle Charles, and some clothes. I think by far his favorite present was his big Lightning he got from Mommy and Daddy. The look on his face was amazing. He was so excited. He rode in it forever. He was a happy little boy. Kaylie got a Princess ride-on toy, a doll set for tea parties, a Dora doll, a baby doll almost the size of her, and some clothes. AJ finally got a plasma tv he has wanted for sooo long. His dad wrapped the remote, when he opened it he took off running outside and screamed like a little boy, he was so excited. I got a pocket size video camera which was so cool and some gift cards and some clothes. It was a lot of fun to be with so many people on Christmas, opening presents, playing games and eating good food.






















It was a great Christmas and I'm so thankful it was such a fun one and we were all together as a family. I missed being with my family, but it was nice to do something different for Christmas and experience new traditions.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Love you all!
