Christmas Day

We had such an awesome Christmas. Jesse's dad comes over on Christmas eve and spends the night and enjoys Christmas morning with us. We have done that for a few years now and I am really glad he comes.


Hunter got a power wing scooter from Santa.

Garrett got a new bike.

It was a blizzard on Christmas, but that didn't stop the boys from trying out there stuff! This is Garrett riding his bike.


Yes, he's still in his pajama's!

The boys also got Rockband from Jess and I. I was actually surprised how fun it was! We spent most of Christmas playing it!

My brother Chris, what a nerd!
Jesse singing.
So I am posting this video because it is HILARIOUS! (With my mom's permission) My mom, Dan, Chris and Danielle came to visit Christmas night. Well of course they wanted to join in playing Rockband with us. Now being the good sport my mom is she wanted to sing. We tried to pick a song that she would know, but even this song she wasn't real familiar with. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to turn the video so sorry you have to watch it sideways.

You may ask yourself why is Ginnie growling while she sings, well that my friends is her "rocker" voice. As you can hear we all couldn't quit laughing! Seriously how many Grandma's do you know that would get up and do this?!?! My mom did say she wants to come back over and redeem herself for this one, but I think it is awesome! Thanks for the laugh mom and being such a good sport! Stay tuned for more video if mom really does come and perform again! :)
I am just so grateful for the Christmas season. I am glad that we can all reflect on Christ and his birth. I am so thankful that I was able to have such an awesome Christmas with my family. Jess and I didn't buy each other anything this year (partly because of him being gone and partly because we didn't really have the money to spend). Jess was really worried about it and I told him as long as I had my family home for Christmas I didn't care! Just being together was the best Christmas present I could have ever asked for! In years past we have kind of gone overboard with presents, and this year we just tried to keep it simple and I am so glad that we did! Isn't it interesting the things we learn as we start to get old! ;) he he
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and a great New Year!

That is great!! I hope she doesn't quit her day job. I think Aunt Muff is a much better teacher than rock star.

It sounds like you all had a wonderful Christmas. I've missed your blogging. Happy New Year!

It was so fun to hear from you! I can't believe how grown up your boys are looking! It happens way too fast! Are you still at the school? I miss teaching PE that was a lot of fun! Is Garrett liking Junior High? Well keep in touch - I love your blog! I am really impressed with all of your canning and your storage room -it looks great!
