Christmas Fun!

Better late then never! Christmas festivities recap.

Christmas eve with the Bingham Family.
We had dinner and then this year we added a hayride to the evening fun. We went caroling and sipped hot chocolate. The kids loved ever minute of it!

all ready to carol!

Elyse was the perfect baby and slept the entire time in the truck.

Haylee showing off her new jammies from Grandma Muriel. Addilyn fell asleep before she could get her jammies on!

Then to the gift exchange between siblings. It was a fun night, but I was exhausted. We came home and luckily all of Christmas was mostly ready so I was able to get some sleep. I woke up at 7:00 and turned on the video camera in the hallway so if the girls woke up before us then I could get their reaction. At about 9:00 I hear Addilyn playing in the family room with her new doll house from Santa! She was so excited. We woke Haylee up and they had a great time opening their presents and playing with their new toys.

We quickly got ready and then headed over to Grandma Treat's house where we opened more presents and did the gift exchange on that side. Addilyn was not interested in opening any more, she just wanted to play with the fisher Price nativity set and the reindeers. My dad made these really cool rocking horses for each family to have and the girls came home with so many fun new toys! My dad made yummy breakfast and we just enjoyed being together. Ryan and lots of the boys got some really cool remote control cars which they played with all morning. We napped and talked to my little brother Nathan and just hung out most of the day. It was a really great Christmas!

enjoying the new rocking horses! (notice Addilyn in her jammies!)

Christmas family photo!

I had to include this photo. I made this ribbon board for my mother in law with the help of Heather my sister. She is the professional. I could have never done it without her! It turned out better then I thought it would! Thanks again Heather!

Ryan and Elyse... just so precious!
