New Years Day!

We kept our new tradition alive and celebrated Christmas on New Years Day at Grammy and Papas! It is so fun to lengthen Christmas out a little longer since it comes and goes WAY too fast. We also love watching the rose parade together..









The kids loved all of their gifts from Grammy and Papa and their Auntie and Uncles..

Family Parties!

We had my Dad's side of the family party the night of Christmas..





The kids had fun running through the house and in the backyard. Sadly there are no cousins their age that live near by so they have to make do =)







We had my Mom's side of the family party on 12/28. Again, the kids had a ton of fun running in circles in the garage!







Maddy and Ellie are only 4 months apart so we thought for sure those two would have a blast but like all of the other cousins, she loves to play with Cayden!







We had our traditional gag gift exchange with the dice, we always have so much fun playing and the kids can now enjoy it too!

Grammy and Papa visit!

After all of the presents were opened, I got busy in the kitchen making a delicious Christmas morning feast! Grammy and Papa came over to enjoy it as well and also to see what Santa brought the kids! We decided to head over to the tennis courts to try out a couple of their new toys..






















I sadly never took an actual picture of the kids with Grammy and Papa but they loved having them there to enjoy their Christmas morning with them!!

Christmas Eve!

We were soo excited Christmas Eve had arrived! We made a gingerbread house for the first time this year and the kids loved it!





Later that day we headed over to Grandma and Grandpas house







The house was crazy with all of the cousins! Love that the family has grown so much!











Santa made a special visit to the Byers home and the kids, well most were soo excited!! Ellie of course kept her distance..























Taking a picture of Grandma and Grandpa with all the grand kids was NOT an easy task and this was the best we got..



The kids both fell asleep on the way home and I couldn't help but snap a picture of what the morning would bring =)
