Aunt Alesha with Madison and Peyton
Peyton & Madison ready for Santa
Isabell clapping ..glad it's Christmas eve!
Like most of Lewis County we were enjoying a wonderful white Christmas. Christmas Eve is our big celebration. This leaves Christmas day open for the kids to go to in-laws etc.We started the evening with a feast of ham and prime rib. The boys were pretty excited about the beef. Doug and Erica really missed having turkey. I'm betting we have Turkey next year. Madison trying to bite(kiss) Isabell.
Then it was time for some family photos while we had everyone together. The little ones ( Peyton especially) had a bit of a hard time with this. I think the photos speak for themselves.
The girls have started a new tradition of writing a new "12 days of Christmas" each year. This years' follows below. It was also the first year the girls did not do their famous(at our house anyway) "Alvin and the chipmunks" routine. It was kind of sad...but I guess they have to grow up sometime

As we were getting ready for the reading of the Christmas story from the bible we had a surprise visitor, all the way from the North Pole. Almost everyone got a turn to sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. And again Peyton was not to happy about a visit from Santa Claus. He could not get off his lap fast enough!!
Our Santa may have given himself away with the nice moccasins.
Madison and Isbell didn't seem to mind Santa. They both liked to pull his beard!
After that we opened some gifts, sent Peyton to bed,( He returned an hour later a much happier guy), ate some more and just had a good time. Madison and Isabell had fun with their first presents. But, then they lost interest.
Nate-- an X-Box 360?!! COOL!
Jesse- I'm going to the Olympics!!!!
Isabell just sat happily in the middle of the floor all night
Peyton seemed to prefer the babies toys to his own.
Peyton up and happy after a short power nap.
