What a blessed Christmas we had - thank you, Lord! We started out Christmas Eve with my parents coming to spend the night. We had a wonderful time catching up, eating pizza, watching Christmas movies, and snacking way too much! After the kids went to bed we lugged all the presents out of the attic (had to hide them there because of a nosy 3-year-old and a chew happy dog)! The kids were gracious to let us sleep the next morning until 7 am! Woo hoo! I can tell Kristen's getting older - she wanted to sleep til at least 9 am! Russ began the morning by reading the Christmas story out of Luke in The Message. I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching them open presents and as far as I know, they loved it all and were thankful. After the traditional Russ Tyler Big Breakfast (and I do mean BIG), we played Guitar Hero, and prepared to leave for Springdale. Later that afternoon we gathered with Russ's side of the family at his brother Nick's house. SUCH a fun time - lots of cousins, food, presents, and it ended with the kids playing an adventurous game of "flashlight hide and go seek" outside. Clay is sporting a black eye as a result, but he thinks it's cool. :)
I took tons of pictures, but here are some highlights. Merry Christmas and now on to the New Year!!!
Santa ate his cookies!
Madi loved her Littlest Pet Shop :)
Clay had been wanting this for awhile!
