Todd always gets his girls an ornament that they open on Christmas Eve

Thank you Daddy!

Every year on Christmas Eve we get together with Todd's extended family and have dinner and play Dirty Santa. The kids each bring a present to exchange too!

Aunt Debbie got all the kiddos their own Christmas blanket and gingerbread letter ornament

Each year 0ur family photo gets a little easier!

Christmas at Gram and Poppy's

We celebrated Christmas with Gram and Poppy on Christmas Eve. All the kids and grandkids spent the night the night before and when we woke up we had a yummy breakfast...ham, eggs, homemade biscuits and hot chocolate. Then present time! Kennedy's favorite gifts were Connect Four and a Bitty Baby highchair. Camryn was really excited about her big girl bike like Kennedy's.

Camryn loves her new bike! She hasn't gotten to ride it much because it has been freezing cold! Every once in a while she talks me into moving the car out of the garage and she gets to ride it! She will have lots of fun keeping up with Kennedy and the neighborhood kids this summer!

Christmas at Jan Jan's

I don't know why Santa even comes to see these girls after all the stuff they got on this night! Their Jan Jan, Pop, and aunts and uncles spoil them rotten! A few months ago Kennedy spent the night with Jan Jan and Pop and they went Christmas shopping. Kennedy picked out a 2-wheeled scooter that she has been wanting for a really long time. Of course now Miss Camryn wants one too. However, she wants Santa to bring her one that "doesn't make her fall or bleed." That is going to be a tricky one!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

The girls are really into Christmas caroles this year. I am so surprised at how many they know, especially Camryn. Her favorite is Jingle Bells. It is really cute hearing her sing it too. We were getting ready for church one morning and they were singing this in Kennedy's room and I was able to talk them into singing it for the camera too!

Thursday night Dinner Christmas Party

We hosted our dinner club Christmas party this year. Each year everyone brings a salty and sweet and we draw names and exchange presents. This year we just let the kids exchange since they are slowly taking over. At the time of this picture, we are up to 7 kids with 2 on the way! Since before Todd and I were dating, ourselves, the Dennie's, the Pennington's and Kyle all got together on Thursday nights and had dinner and then watched tv. I think it started with Friends and when that ended we started watching Survivor. Needless to say our traditional dinner and tv is no more. We still have the dinner, just not much tv! Much better enertainment though! Kyle moved to New York a few months ago...we really miss him!

Anderson, Graham, Camryn, Kennedy, Ethan, Reagan, and Jacob

The flashlights were a big hit. They had so much fun turning out the lights and shining them!
