Christmas 2013

We have a lot of family to spend the holidays with and we try to make time with everyone.  Here are the Christmas highlights of this year!



On December 15th we celebrated Christmas with my dad's side of the family.  That's our parents, 12 of us kids including our spouses and 9 grandkids....ah hem, I mean 9 grandBOYS.  Yes, all boys.  Although we sadly missed our sister Kate and her husband Andrew and son Ethan who live on the East coast.

Most of the boys wrestling with Uncle Dewey aka Jamison

How many boys does it take to keep him down?

Christmas eve was spent with Tyler's side of the family.  A nice dinner accompanied by a beautiful snow fall that made some slight changes in travel plans for great grandma and grandpa.

Such handsome little men!

No surprise they found tons of fun playing with a box!

Tyler's dad, grandpa and uncle

This boy loves his tractors and diggers!

Charlie had a blast helping everyone open their presents

These two cuddle bugs thought they could stay up and catch Santa...but fell asleep with dad instead :)

Christmas morning was spent at home with our little family of 5.  The boys opened their presents from Tyler and I and also from Santa.  Later in the morning we went to spend the rest of the day at my mom's house.

Easton decided he wanted to leave Santa some cookies and milk as well as yogurt and then celery for the reindeer.  Yep, yogurt.  And then Santa left a letter for the boys.

Christmas morning :)

Easton got the digger he asked for

And Charlie loves his dump truck

A hockey set....wonder if we can keep the high sticking to a minimum??

Christmas morning carnage from 3 little boys....yes, highly spoiled :)

Charlie: "What mom? I wasn't eating all the puppy chow!"

Easton loves Uncle Jakob's headphones

Christmas jammies!!

Do you think we could bribe them to sit still for 2 seconds??

Not really

We had such a great Christmas and blessed time with family and we hope all of you had a safe and happy Christmas as well.  Merry Christmas from the Kings!!!
