Christmastime

Christmas was wonderful this year. We had such a good time celebrating, that by the end of the year I was done with the food, parties, and late nights and wanting to get back to our "routine".

 Every year we have the Grammy Christmas Party on my moms side. Here is my wonderful Grammy (many of you know her as the Piano lady at toddler time at the Treehouse, yes we are lucky!) she always gives us a lesson and this year she did it on the ABC's of her life. 

Mr. Finn is so big when we try to pull him out of the bumbo this is what happens, STUCK, STUCK, STUCK! Its so funny!

 Viole and Finn in their Christmas Eve best! 

I crack up everytime I see this picture. My neice Violet is trying to take over the picture. I love Finn looking at her like, "Whatever!"

 The Kiddie table on Christmas Eve.

 The two adult tables, Hudson loves to sit with the "big" kids. My mom made a fabulous meal!

Christmas Eve was always spent with the Speechly family. Eating, singing, and when we were little doing a live nativity. Well, this year since our families are so big there was no longer the extended Speechly CHristmas Eve, so we had our own at my parents house. The kids put on a live Nativity. It was so dang cute and so funny! Finn was baby Jesus, Ruby-Mary, Bingham-Joseph, Violet-Angel, Hudson-Shepherd, and Boen-Wiseman (or Aunt Jamima)

Christmas Morning, all my babies in their jammies! Christmas is so much fun with kids!

Everytime we handed a present to Finn he immediately put it in his mouth. 

 I think he had more fun with the paper than his actual toys.

 Hudson was so excited to get his Razor Spark Scooter. Santa was hesitant to give it to him for Christmas because then he couldn't ride it till Spring, but with no snow, it was perfect!

Here is Ruby standing by her Giantic barbie dollhouse. We just laughed at how big it really was!

 Hudson giving Boen a ride on the plasma car. It has been a huge hit, now we need another one.

I think Trent and I love riding it as much as the kids. And one good thing about an unfinished basement, the kids have enjoyed riding their new scooters and this car all winter long!

These two were so cute! They sat like this for over an hour trying to figure out Bing's new game. 

I am so grateful for such a wonderful Christmas and all the time spent with Family and Friends. It was one of the best Christmas's ever!
