Christmas 2011

The 2011 Christmas season started off for us on December 18th with the C Family Christmas, this year one of Mr. C's cousins had everyone over to her house, we enjoyed good food and great company for the afternoon.

On Wednesday Gpa J, S&K arrived so we went to Grandma W's to visit with them for the evening. Then on Thursday December 22, we had them, J&H, Kbug & Bbop over to our house for Christmas with them. Mr. C made chili & after diner we opened presents and then visited. The next morning, Mr. C, K & JS went out hunting for a few hours, then Mr. C got called into work and the rest of us visited at Grandma W's until it was time for lil Miss to take a nap and then me and her headed home.

That evening, it twas the night before Christmas eve so we went to Mr. C's parents house for movie night. This year it was just their family and Grandma H. Mama & Papa let the kiddos open up one present & Grandma H gave them each one present to open as well. we then enjoyed watching a movie.

On Christmas eve we spent the morning at home, and then went to church with the H family and back over to Mr. C's parents house after church for the H Christmas. We spent the evening at the parents house.

Christmas morning we awoke and awaited until everyone else arrived to open presents and enjoy breakfast.

All tired out from opening presents, getting in a quick nap before the next stop.

After breakfast and watching the kiddos play with their new presents, we headed to AK & UB's for Christmas with them and Grandma W. Lil Miss showing off some of her new clothes!

After visiting with them we headed back home to find this:

Yep...u see that correctly.... a horse jsut hanging out in our back yard. One of the neighbor's horses has gotten out and really enjoys eating the weeds in our back "yard". This is the second time this has happened. Mr. C had called me one day last week and said we had a horse in our yard. Luckily we knew who the owner was, so we called them and they came to get him.

Then we had our Christmas. Lil Miss opened her present from Santa.

Then she helped Daddy open his present from Mommy.

We enjoyed the rest of Christmas Day at our house.

Then on December 30th we headed to my parents house for our Family Christmas. This year not eveyone was able to make it. DMan was sick so B stayed home with him, my brother's finance had to work the following day so she did not make it and since my brother moved about 3.5 hours away he did not make it either, he got in later that evening.

After dinner we enjoyed opening presents. Lil miss was being Santa's helper and took presents to her Aunts & Uncles.

Then the next day we had the B Family Christmas. We spent the day visiting with family, opening presents from our exchange and eating good food.

And that concludes our 2011 Christmas. We had a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
