Christmas Day!

I am determined to have all my Christmas posts done by the end of January!  I think all the adults were awake before the kids Christmas morning so we all got ready and then when the kids finally woke up we had breakfast and opened presents.  I hope you are ready for a ton of pictures!

 Declan had to lie down for a bit after opening all his presents!  It wore him out!

After we finished opening presents at my parent's house we headed down to Idaho Falls for the traditional Christmas Day brunch.  More pictures...

We let Declan take a nap and we were able to play some games with Zach's family.  Then we drove back to Rexburg for my family's Christmas dinner.  Sorry, no pictures of that.  Here is one last one though of Bella showing Zach one of her new Christmas toys.  Bella loves her Uncle Zach, it's so cute!

Christmas Eve

Zach's family has a traditional Christmas Eve dinner every year with Ann's family.  Here are a bunch of pictures from Christmas Eve.  

 Sara, Hailey, Hilary, and me...where's Randi?

 Oh!  There she is!

 This is a common site at the Oswald house, Declan begging to go downstairs.

 Uncle Joe, Aunt Sue, and Devon

 I'm glad Paige laughs when Declan grabs her cheek! 

 We draw names between Zach's siblings and since we were all together Christmas Eve we opened presents between the siblings.  

 "Give me back that filet o'fish, give me that fish!" ha ha ha ha ha!

The cute grandkids

Coleman, Randi, Sara, Brody, Hilary, me, Hailey, Zach, Declan, Lyndon, Ann, and Paige

After the dinner we always go over to Grandma and Grandpa Oswald's house to spend time with Lyndon's side of the family.  Here's a great picture of the newest member of the family, Brody. :)

 Sara is not embarrassed at all by this...

 4 generation picture, Declan was ticked because we took him away from the basketball hoop.

flashlights, a snowman, and a tea party

One of the nights we stayed with my family my mom gave all the kids flashlights and they went searching for a "treasure" in the dark basement.  I think Declan was more excited about the flashlights than anything else!

 The treasures were these Sing a ma jigs!  

We decided to build a snowman one day in my parent's front yard.  My mom even came out to help!  I don't remember the last time I saw my mom play in the snow...so I took advantage and through a few snow balls at her!  What a mean daughter...don't worry, she got me back.  Declan doesn't like walking in snow when his feet sink so he doesn't look very happy in any of these pictures!

Then we decided to go sledding across the street.  Even though it wasn't a huge hill, it was so much fun!

Another day while we were at my parent's house, Mike and Tara went to Idaho Falls and the boys were down for their naps so my mom, Bella, and I had a tea party.  Princess Bella even gave my mom and I Princess names - Princess Grandma and Princess Aunt Nikky!  ha ha.  We got to drink chocolate milk, strawberries with whip cream, Danish cookies, and caramel covered marshmallows.  It was delicious!

 Bella waiting patiently for the tea party to start.

One more cute picture of all the grandkids.  Zach was pushing Bella around in the laundry basket and the boys decided they wanted in on the fun!
