Christmas Morning

Santa Came!!! We had a great Christmas! Everyone got their wish and we had so much fun! All I wanted for Christmas was to have Breanna home and that has been so great! We have missed her so much and all the fun and laughter she brings into our home! It was great having the whole family together again!
Really?

Breanna got a statue of a Ballet Dancer!



Wii Game for Devin!



Ipod Shuffle with speakers for Brandon!
Merry Christmas!



Christmas Eve

Christmas eve is whe we have our Christmas Dinner then we have a family program and each one of us reads a story or sings a song. This year Devin and Brandon read and Breanna showed us a super neat version of the Nativity while playing the song "Breath of Heaven" by Amy Grant. We also watched Mr. Krugers Christmas and then opened some PJ's and the night wouldn't be complete without the Polar Express! We finished the night with Jeff reading from Luke 2.
Twas' the night before Christmas........

Stylin some new PJ's!


Breanna wrapping Dad!




Time to eat! Ham, Funeral potatoes, green bean casserole, yams, dressing (froze some fromThanksgiving mom, you got a good scald on that dressing!) and sparkling cider!



Galleria

We went to the Galleria in Dallas while we were waiting for Breanna's plane to get in. It's a huge 3 story mall with an ice skating rink in the middle. Brandon and I were the brave one's to skate and Jeff and Devin watched and took pics. Some are blurry but it was the best we could do when in motion, you get the idea though. This is a great mall with Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms and any other store you can imagine, its a great place to go.
Devin and Brandon having some ice cream.
This is the huge Christmas tree in the middle of the rink Brandon and I made it to the base to have a photo op, it wasn't easy cause this is where the fast people are. This was Brandon's first time ice skating and neither one of us fell!

Concentration is the key! Ecspecially when your trying not to risk a hip injury!


Go Brandon!


More of the gorgeous tree!!!
