Christmas 2010

We had a busy, but fun Christmas this year!!! I love having family time with each family and this year was no different. We started our Christmas Eve out at Justin's parents. All three girl grandkids were there and ready to decorate cookies and make party hats! Taegan did a lot of the sprinkling of the cookies-because the other two weren't quite old enough yet. She loved helping.

She got real good at it and even started putting multiple colors on one cookie!
Then she got to help Grandma Becky cut out some cookies.

We spent the morning and afternoon there. Nap wasn't very successful for any of the girls that day and then we headed to my mom's side for about an hour. Taegan got to help cut out and frost cookies there as well!!! She was a pro by then. We headed back to Grandma Becky's to get ready for church. Taegan did pretty well in church(usually she is in Sunday school, but they didn't have that on Christmas Eve). Then we swung by home to get some more things and take our annual pictures in front of the tree.
I am so blessed to call these two mine.
She was ready to go open presents!!!
Back to Grandma Becky's we went to eat and open presents. We got started opening presents at 8:45 or so and finished at 11!!! WOW those girls got lots of good stuff this year. We were all exhausted and ready to call it a night. We packed up and headed home-only for Taegan to fall asleep before being able to put out her special Santa cookies. So we did it for her:)
So pretty!
Passing the time before presents with Kinsley.
An attempt at a group picture-this was take 6!

Getting into the presents-she was great this year!
The end result was a naked Taegan riding on Kinsley's new trike with Kinsley helping:)
Christmas morning we spent at home with just us three. That is our favorite time!! We had so much fun watching her see what Santa brought her and just relaxing together! She loved the presents this year.
Her stocking all laid out in a line.Here she is with her new Doll House from Santa-this is her favorite right now!
We headed over to my parents after finishing at our house and had more fun!!! Taegan knew what the presents were all about and didn't want to eat breakfast because she was ready to open away!!! We managed to get her to eat some. She got spoiled there as well-what a lucky girl!! She was done opening all of her presents and then we had one last surprise...

A train table!!! She played and played with this.
My Grandpa came over for lunch and then we all took a nap:) What a wonderful holiday season we had this year. Laekan was also spoiled as well...Justin and I can't say thank you enough to our parents for loving us and treating us so well. We truly are so blessed to have them in our lives and supporting our decisions. We love you all!!!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas-I can't believe it is over already.
