Christmas 2011 Pics

I can't believe Christmas has came and gone already! We were surrounded by a lot of family all weekend and made some great memories. It was fun, crazy, exhausting, and exciting all in one :) Instead of writing a book I will share a book of pics! (I got some great ones with my new camera lens, thanks for the Xmas prezzie Ben!!)

 We started the holiday off at the Waind's home. The boys were so excited that they got to open some presents BEFORE church!! We thought that would be best since when we got home from church we would be busy feeding/changing babies and getting them to bed all while cooking a delicious dinner. It worked out well, the boys had lot's of toys to play with while the "adults" got to enjoy opening presents together at the end of the night.

 There must be something pretty cool in there....

 Wow! The Cars 2 Eiffel Tower!

 The trips LOVE their new incrediblock!!

 Brody and Dreyden enjoying the children's service at church, Brody learned more about Baby Jesus....and that he does not in fact like peppermint candy canes!

 Uncle Matty took Riley up to hang an ornament on the tree. Can you believe he was the only one to make it through the entire service without having to be taken to the back?!?!!

 Since Riley refused to go to bed with his others he got some extra snuggle time :)

 Have to get it all out!!

 We let Riley stay awake and watch us eat dinner, once I couldn't get him to smile anymore I figured it was safe to take him back to bed.

 I love this picture of Ben and Brody.

We stealthily got the trips out of bed and into their car seats to head back home so we could have our 1st (and hopefully only!!!) Christmas morning in our sweet FEMA trailer :) We were exhausted but managed to get all 4 boys into bed quickly and things as organized as possible in 800SF of living space! I have to say, I was questioning why I wanted to have my parents and brother over for Christmas in this crazy small place, but I'm glad we did- it was fun!

 Brody was up early looking for Zeke, he was ok not finding him once he realized that meant Santa came and his stocking was full.

 Payton and Riley playing with some stocking stuffers while I attempt to untie the billionth string thingy that straps the toys to the cardboard- UGH, so over those strings and contraptions!!

 Daddy getting a little help from Evan and Brody with his stocking.

 Brody was the best present ever!!

 Uncle Ty and Gma Sharon, it was the perfect relaxing morning.

 Brody had to check out his new Cars tent before heading over to Bev and Terry's house for more Christmas fun.

 Cars 2 Radiator Springs to go with his Eiffel Tower- Score!!!

 Feeding triplets draws a crowd :)

 Trying to gather all the littles for one quick picture before we all went home. Cousin Mikey was ready for a baby!

 Adaleah, Campbell (my sister, Becky's, little girls home from CO Springs), Evan, Brody, Riley, Payton, and Mikey (my cousin's Son visiting from Minneapolis)

Silly Auntie Carol was hiding behind the couch trying to tame the beasts!!

We missed our Families in FL and SC and the PNW- we love and miss you sooooo much!! We also missed Auntie Melissa who had to stay home with a flu-bug.....and then Brody ended up waking up this morning puking :(......I wonder who will be picked off next?!?!?! Yikes!!!
