Our Christmas!!

So I have not posted for a while...and I have to admit I was home for the last two weeks of December and did not go back to work until January 3rd! It was lovely!! We spent a lot of time with the family during this time. We got our theater room completed in our basement...maybe that is why I have not posted he, he. My family came over the Saturday before Christmas and we had dinner and watched a movie. Then the next night my mom cooked dinner and then we came over and watched a movie. Then it was Christmas eve....

We had a GREAT Christmas! Many family traditions that have continued on through the years....We do Christmas eve at my parent's, breakfast at Pat & Dale's, and then back to my parent's for presents and dinner, okay leftovers....

Payton was a lot of fun this year. She came walking out of the room and saw all of the new toys on the rug. She looked at me then looked at Tim and then ran quickly to see what Santa had brought. Her first thing she went for is the new vacuum cleaner. Funny thing is she HATES the vacuum!! She played all morning until we left for breakfast with the Herrmann's. We had a good time, it was Raylee's (Jody and Aaron's little girl) first Christmas. After breakfast we went to my parents. Payton decided that she was going to take the bows off of all of the gifts :-) She did get one of her favorite gifts, her rocking chair. My parents have a rocking chair that her and Rian LOVE!!! After gifts we hung out at my parents all evening. Tim of course needed his nap so that he would not be too grumpy!

I hope each of you had a great Christmas and a very happy New Year as well!
