We had such a great Christmas this year (minus the weather and blizzards!) We enjoyed spending time with all our family. Christmas Eve with Larry, Ceil, Shannon, Richard, Caity, Payton and Cameron. Christmas with Mom, Dad, Daron, Jana, Dawson, Drew, Dena, Elliott, Treyson and Sydnee. Saturday with my Grandma Gates and all my Dad's brothers and their families... 4 sons, 10 grandkids, many spouses, and 14 great-grandkids! It was a full house! We also got to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma Lewis. It was a family filled Christmas that we absolutely loved! Casey got to play cards with the guys and Deb got to have girls night with her longtime best friends Jana, Steff and Heather. Despite the cold and wind, Dawson and Conor ventured out for some sledding down John Redmond hill. They only made it up and down twice! It was wayyyy cold! Hope you all enjoyed your holidays as much as we did. Enjoy our pictures below!
Me and the boys! Conor just got his hair all cut off. I love it and was thrilled he finally cut it!
The boys by the tree!
My sister Dena and niece Sydnee baked Christmas cookies together. Sydnee did great!
More baking.... Sydnee loved frosting the cookies! I enjoyed having girls to help!
My cousin Amber's daughter Ella with her new Fur Real Puppy. Check out those gorgeous eyes!
Conor loved playing with his 2nd cousin Ben at my Grandma Gates house.
My cousin Melissa's son Banks. What a cutie!
Conor with one of my cousin Derek and his wife Kenna's twin girls... I believe this is Dani. But, after only meeting them for a few hours there is no chance I'm guessing right!
Brigham takes after his big brother and also loves playing with the younger ones. Here is Brig doing his "blow it up" with Banks... Banks' sister Harper is supervising those crazy boys!
Brig is all smiles holding Dani.
My cousin Melissa holding Allie with her daughter Hayden. My cousin-in-law Kenna with her other daughter Dani. (Sorry if I've got them backwards... they are so stickin' cute!)
What a wonderful Christmas present. Adorable!
All the great-grandkids! What a crew!
Dawson and Conor got really cold, really fast while sledding down John Redmond. Jana is hiding in the back!
Conor... dripping cold!
Below... Grandpa and Grandma Christmas morning!
Drew loved her new bag from Aunt Deb and Uncle Casey!
Sydnee got a really cute dress up outfit that she had to put on immediately!
Sydnee with her best buddy (sometimes!) Uncle Casey
My brother Daron and neice Drew! It was so good to see them again! I miss them being all the way in Texas!
Sydnee with her Fur Real panda!
It wouldn't be a girls Christmas night if we didn't take about a thousand pictures trying to find that perfect one! Steff, Jana, Heather and me!
Treyson getting ready to open Christmas morning!
Conor and Brigham got some really cool remote cars from our Minnesota friends the Preators!
