Christmas a little early...Dec 23rd!!

Yes Christmas was celebrated on the 23rd for me! My family is amazing and did that for me since I had to work Christmas eve and Christmas day. I love them and miss them! The best family ever!! (sorry picture overload)


Here is the group. We all have our gifts from our new and dear friend Vitali (? spelling) Mitch's friend from the Ukraine is here spending the holidays with us.

Curt and I gave the boys Christmas jammies :) The didn't take them off even the next day!

This is Vitali!

My sister's sis-in-law makes these gloves (dishwashing gloves) and she gave them to the girls in the family. Washing dishes in STYLE!! thanks T.

Every year we exchange names and buy ornaments for each other instead of presents and then we all tell why we chose that ornament for the person. Some touch our hearts and others make us laugh!! It was a great year. Except I noticed I didn't get a picture of Curt's or mine....oops.

Tawnya got an angel ornamanet with a manger inside...a baby jesus for the reminder of baby #3 coming in May!! From my mom.

My mom got a travel ornament from Mitch!! Better late than never. He got it the day before and we were all teasing him but he did a great job and it perfect for mom she is our personal travel agent!!

Heather got a house from Briggs. He loves going to her house!!

Jakes ornament had us in tears!! Tawnya put it in a jello mold!! If any of you watch the office....its Jakes favorite show. It was hilarious!!

Brian got a golf ornament from heather and it said something about a hit or something to remind him of the car accident he got in this year....double meaning :)

Mitch loves to dance, lol! As he stated on fb so Brian being the funny guy he is got mitch a disco ball and included his statement on fb!! It was awesome.
