More Family Christmas Fun

After decorating Grandma and Grandpa's tree we watched the football game. Jill, Sammie, and I were bored with the game so we started playing with the camera.

Todd and Cole always cuddle when they watch football, what family love, ha ha ha!!!

The "boys" Cade, Todd, Ryan, and Cole, taking a break during commercial from watching the game so I could get a picture. They have such a great time together.

Cade, Cheyenne, Luke, and Rhett decided later to play with the ornaments that didn't get put on the tree yet. They had quite the set up.

Decorating the Disney Tree

At our other Grandma and Grandpa's house, they have a Disney tree that the grandkids get to decorate. We decorated the tree on Dec. 6th. Of course Christian found Mickey Mouse to hang up first.

Cheyenne found Cruella De Ville. Any character was easy to find. Grandma has so many to choose from.

Luke, Rhett, Cade, Sammie, Cheyenne, and Christian going through the ornaments to decide what they wanted to hang on the tree.

Cade and Sammie deciding what ornament they wanted to do. It was a hard decision.

Family Christmas Fun

Sibling love: Cindy, Jill, Amy, and Ryan are the best of friends. We have so much fun when we get together.

Ryan's traditional Christmas picture. His "snotcicle". It's not Christmas unless we have this picture. He can get anyone to laugh when he does this.

Christian, Ben, and Brigham are best little buddies. They have a great time playing together since they are so close in age.

"Partners in Crime" Christian and Ben like to get in trouble together. One way to keep them out of trouble is to....

...put on Mickey Mouse. They can watch it for hours together.

Grandpa's Ornaments

Grandpa gave Sammie her Christmas ornament which was a framed picture of her and her boyfriend Troy Boulton. She told Grandma that she was a little embarrassed when everyone was laughing about how cute she was.

Grandpa gave Christian a Mickey Mouse ornament. Christian is obsessed with Mickey Mouse right now. He watches Mickey Mouse at Grandma and Grandpa's house all of the time.

Cheyenne got a High School Musical ornament that plays "Everyday" when you push a button. That song has not turned off. She loves to sing with it, and she sings as loud as she can.

Trimming Our Tree

We put up our Christmas tree on November 28th. We always put it up the day after Thanksgiving. We love family traditions. Samantha is a big helper and does a great job at decorating the higher parts of the Christmas tree. She loves decorating Christmas trees and would help anyone decorate their tree.

Cheyenne is also a great helper with decorating. She loves decorating the bottom part of the tree and you can always tell where she has been because there is alway a cluster of ornaments.

Christian on the other hand is not a great helper of decorating the tree at this age. He broke a few ornaments, ripped Tinkerbell's wings off, and won't leave his Buzz Lightyear ornament on the tree. He loves playing with it. Hopefully next year will be a little bit easier with him.

What cute tree decorators!!! Samantha, Cheyenne, Ryan and Christian did a great job at decorating our Christmas tree.

My big helpers!!!!

Family pictures

My brother Ryan took our family pictures at a neighbors house. However, the sunlight wasn't perfect and so we will be going on another day to retake them. Dang it!!! You moms all understand what I mean by this. I love getting our pictures taken, but man it is a lot of work. Atleast we know what we will be wearing.
