Christmas Week

The beginning of our Christmas week started off with Tiffanie, Josh, and baby Jaxon coming in from Seattle, Washington. The night they got here we threw a surprise birthday party for Josh. His first one ever! It was a blast. All the family came. We celebrated with Josh's favorite, Lasagna and then a very yummy pumpkin chocolate chip cake for desert all thanks to my wonderful mother. Josh was totally surprised.

 We took a pretty awesome family picture. This is all the brothers and sisters, their spouses, nieces and nephews, my uncle and his friend, and my grandparents. I cant imagine what it will be like in another 5 years. We will need a bigger room:)

 We had lots of cousin time. It was so fun to have Lacy and Jaxon play so good together.

 A couple days later we all met up at my house. My mom had surprised everyone with matching shirts. Kind of an inside joke in our house. We all went out to eat at The Money Pitt in San Marcos. I introduced Tiffanie to it last summer and she insists on going there when she comes to visit. We then met up at my uncles diner in Ensanitas for some hot cocoa and then headed to the beach for some family pictures that i am sad to say didn't turn out. Don't take pictures in the dark...

 Christmas Eve we headed over to my Brother Troy's house. There was lots of Wii playing!

 and lots of opening presents

 Grandma and ALL  her grand kids

 WHAT is this....

Josh, Zach and Brent all got remote control helicopters for Christmas. Pretty much any spare time they had they spent flying the around and having races.

 When we got home we did our good ol' pj party.

Here are the kids about to put the rain deer food out on the front porch. It was so fun this year. The kids were super excited about Santa coming. Up next is the Christmas post.
