A WHOLE LOT OF CHRISTMAS!

Christmas has come and gone and there were no major catastrophes, illnesses, arguments but just a whole lot of family time, joy and gift unwrapping! We are blessed in so many ways! Here are a few pictures from those couple of days of celebration.

We started out Christmas Eve day with the kids opening their yearly gift. Colson gets an animated Christmas "toy" and Calli gets a snowglobe to add to their collections.

After our church service on Christmas Eve night, we went to an Assisted Living that my mom does a lot with and Calli and Christina sang a couple of songs including Calli's solo of "Happy Birthday Jesus". We then went over to my mom's for dinner and gift opening.

Here's a picture of the three cousins in their matching pj's.

Hudson with his new rocking horse...he wasn't quite ready to go big time so Calli had to hold him.

My kids love their Uncle Scott....my camera was messing up on the focus but I wanted this picture.

This was the favorite gift of the night for Colson....spy glasses!

After Grammie's we went home to get thing ready for Santa and I guess the kids were good this year because Santa showed up!

Calli had gotten a camera from Grammie the night before and she was REALLY into self portraits. Here's a self portrait of her with her new Ipod that Santa gave her. Here's a self portrait of her when she saw that we had gotten her a trampoline. Here is her taking a picture of the trampoline as we unveiled it.
At lunch time we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Schubert's for Christmas lunch and gift opening with them. Wes' sister that lives in town, her husband and two of her girls came too.

And even long time Schubert friends, Dr. Ves & Mrs. Chadda came.

After lunch we went back home and then Grammie and Grandpa Murdock and Scott, Stina and Hudson came over to just relax......

.....or jump on the trampoline.

Silly Grandpa Murdock!Grammie chillin' on the swing with colson, Hudson and Lucy (don't look at Lucy, I think she's being torchered with love)

I mentioned earlier that Calli was really into taking self portraits. Here's one with her and Stina. But then the next day, I went to upload all of her pictures from her camera and these are the ones that I found. She had taken these as she was going to bed on Christmas night. There were about 10 of them, these were my favorite. But this was my absolute favorite...I hope she doesn't sleep with her mouth that open. I think the camera was a hit!
