Christmas break = Snowman fun.

 

Yummy!! 

 

 

 

 

Christmas Eve:

Ramey Family dinner at Red Robin 

 

 

 

Then Mana's house for cookie making 

 

 

Look at all those grandkids!!!!!!! 

 

Stocking time with new jammies from Karri. 

 

 

Once again, Jaina didn't want to wear the new clothes OR be in the group picture. 

 

 

Putting out the Egg Nog and Cookies for Santa 

 

 

Christmas Morning:

'can we come down yet??' 

 

Jaina got a Disney Little People Princess Castle with ALL the Princesses. 

 

Xander got a Nano Speed track with cars. 

 

Mara got a new set of Disney Fairies. 

 

We had to get out the old fairies for Jaina, because she wanted Mara's new ones SO badly. 

 

 

 

Mara got a new necklace from Grandma Tolman. It is a nest with her birthstone and initial. 

 

Something I made from our Disneyland trip.

We got signatures on a picture mat and just had to print a picture and stick it in a frame. 

 

 

Mara's present that she made at school. A new ornament for the tree. 

 

Jaina didn't want her picture taken :( 

 

Back to Mana's for breakfast and presents. 

 

Grandma Joan and her 7 Great-Grandkids. 

 

I got a necklace too, with my kids birthstones. 

 

Yay! PlayDoh from Karri! 

 

More Skylanders figures!! 

 

Her very own music box (since she loves Mara's so much) 

 

And her own bank too! 

 

Me and my boys. 

 

Mom made a Tardis blanket for JD. It turned out AMAZING!!!  Now I want one too! 

 

Where are all the kids?????

Tree picture before going to church.

 

Mara was very brave and let Karri pull out a tooth. 

 

I love when they make tents and watch movies. 

 

SISTERLY LOVE 

 

A rare moment: when Jaina falls asleep while we shop.  She had a cold so she was already tired.

 

I took apart and remade my Christmas wreath. I LOVE how it turned out. 

 

Christmas Church clothes from Mana.

 

 

Jaina didn't want to put her dress on and barely wanted to be in the picture.

But what a cute group of kids!! 

 

Last day of School before Christmas:

Kids made 'Gingerbread houses' 

 

 

 Addi, Maddox & Mara at Grandma & Grandpa's house.

 

The Annual Hillam Christmas Party

The kids made rockets and shot them off.

 

 

Jaina LOVED this and couldn't get enough of it.

She actually got it in the 'goal' a few times too. 

 

 

 

The Love of My Life.

 

There was even 'real' Angry Birds!! 

 

 

 

Jaina didn't quite like Santa this year. Maybe next year. 

 

But she loved her new Princesses. 

 

Mara with Santa. 

 

Yay!!! New Barbie car!!! 

 

Xander with Santa. 

 

I love his excitement for his gift!
