Christmas Eve 2011

Today we headed up to my parents for Christmas with the Broughton/Bowden/Janes/Larson clan.  We started by chowing down on delicious appetizers followed by pre-gifts (only our family would have pre-gifts!), White Elephant exchange, and then the real deal.  Again, we were spoiled.  We have so much love and generosity all around us!  We wrapped up the festivities with a delicious lasagna spread and butterscotch pie.  Mmm.  One happy tummy.  After lots of hugs, we headed back down the hill to our humble home.

Brett's parent's made the trip over to our house while we were away so we were able to eat a tasty taco dinner together and watch Christmas movies with the kiddos before heading off to bed.  The kids were full of energy and so excited for Santa to come. 

A very fun-filled family day!

Oh, my gracious...dress-up clothes!
