Christmas Extravaganza

Warning: This post is extra long with tonz of pictures
(just the way Lisa likes 'em!)

Christmas Eve we spent with Pat's family. We did a progressive dinner, and at each house we talked about different things about the holidays.  It was such an amazing night with awesome food and wonderful family.  I didn't take many pics but here is Jaina with her Uncle Morri.

Before the evening was over we got a quick family pic.
(Thanks Lana)

And a pic of all the Utah grandkids. 
We sure miss you Boise Tolmans!!!

We then headed home where there were Christmas Eve presents from Aunt Karri that were waiting to be opened.
A new nightgown for Mara.

Agent P pj's for Xander

Jaina with her first present!!!!  Cute pink jammies :)

Mara got a 'pillow pet' from Grandma Tolman

I bought a cute Christmas outfit for Jaina and had to get a pic of it.

All the kids with the tree.

We gave Xander the newest Magic Treehouse book, he was so excited!!

We gave Mara her own Camera!!!!

We gave the kids the game Guess Who? extra. 
I loved this game as a kid!

Mara got the new Tangled game for the Leapster.

Xander wanted the Hot Wheels Criss Cross Crash!

I made this Tag Blankie for Jaina and she loves it!

Jaina got this way cute Seahorse from Grandma & Grandpa that plays music for 5 minutes to help her fall asleep. It's so cute and she loves it!!!

A nice family picture :)

Mara got this cute outfit from Grandma & Grandpa. The skirt is her favorite!

Then the rest of my family came over for presents!!

Jaina got a 'fishtank' that plays music that helps her fall asleep too.  You would think that she has a hard time sleeping!   But these cute toys have helped her a TON!!

Xander got a new zip up hoodie from Mana and loves it!!

Mara got another nightgown from Karri and a Rapunzel doll from Mana.

Xan just loved his Nerf Guns from Max :)

And his shoebox full of Magic Treehouse books from Karri!!!  He now has almost the whole collection!! Over 40 books!!

Karri caught a great moment when Mara opened up her Strawberry Shortcake movie from JD & Chris. She was so happy that she almost cried!

Pat got an awesome Star Wars book from my mom. It catalogues what happened each year since the first movie was made. 

All the girls got these and were so happy!!

And traditionally we did the 'Where are all the kids??'
Can you find Jaina??

This is the best picture!!  They just love throwing the paper in the air!

And by surprise Brent & Lisa were able to bring baby Finley home from the hospital and we each were able to have a turn holding her!!!  She's just the smallest thing ever!

Even Jaina got in on the holding action :)

Just to show how small she is, here she is with her mommy.

And a cute family picture of the whole Ramey clan.

And then Mana with all 7 grandkids :)

It was a great Christmas and I'm just glad it's over.

Christmas Cookies with Grandma

Oh goodness. I'm so far behind in my blogging.  Let's just hope that I can do better in 2011 :)

The Wednesday before Christmas the kids had a Cookie day with all their cousins at Grandma's house.  They all got to cut out sugar cookies and decorate them too.
Tammy was so great and let us drop the kids off so we could get some last minute shopping done.
They all had a great time!!
Here are all the grandkids with the finished cookies! 
This is a Christmas tradition and the kids love it!
