Christmas Morning with Santa and Roseberry Christmas

The kids were so excited and anxious about Christmas morning!  It was so much fun this year hearing Kali and Hoyt talk about Santa and how many days until Santa was coming!!!  They were a little disappointed to see our Elf on the Shelf, named Gift leave!  I let them both give him a hug on Christmas Eve night because it would be 11 months until we would see him again!  They were excited to finally touch him! :) If anyone doesn't know about Elf on the Shelf, the kids are not supposed to touch him or the elf will lose its magic!!!  So, the kids felt very special to give Gift a hug!

Christmas morning Hoyt's favorite gift from Santa would have been his swords or his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shell and Kali's would have been her American Girl Doll (Our Generation from Target) and her AMG doll bed.  They LOVED them!!!

On Christmas day we headed to Grandma Holub's house to have our Roseberry Family Christmas and this would be our last Christmas of the season! :)  We had a wonderful dinner!!! Good Job Mom!!!  

Grandma Roseberry and Kali!

Kali and her new doll and their matching outfits!!!  Don't they look just alike!!!

 

Hoyt and his TMNT sweatshirt!!! LOL!!!

Jordan, Deb, and Aunt Sue!

I love this picture of Katelyn and Jackson!!! Adorable!!!

 

Laura and CJ

 

On the Roseberry side every other year we do a grab bag exchange.  If your a guy you buy a guy gift and a girl, you buy a girl gift!  We did a lot more stealing this year which made it more fun!  I think Chad got his gift stolen at least 4 or 5 times!  It was a lot of fun!  I ended up stealing the gift I bought!!  :)

 

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!  I love Christmas, but I'm also very glad when it is all over!!! :)

Washburn Christmas!

Yes, I know I'm very behind on my blogging....but it's not entirely my fault, I was having blog issues with uploading my photos, but now I'm back on track!

 

 

 

The above picture is a daycare picture on 12/23/2013 at the Daycare Christmas party!!!

 

We celebrated the Washburn Family Christmas on Christmas Eve.  We had a great time with our family!!!  Grandma Dolores sure spoiled the little kids as well as us BIG kids this year.  I think Kali received a complete wardrobe!!!  I sure can't wait until we can wear the same size!!  Hoyt also got a lot of clothes and some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys...HE LOVED THEM!!!

 

Hunter, Brice (Savannah's Boyfriend) and Savannah!

 

Hoyt and Daddy wearing the Under Armor sweats that Sissy and Clint gave to us for Christmas!!! Don't they look handsome!!

 

Kali also lost her 8th tooth on Xmas Eve!!!  Clint pulled another tooth with ease!  Thank goodness...I still haven't had to pull a tooth out yet!!! So, both the Tooth Fairy and Santa visited our house on Christmas Eve!!!  How lucky can one girl be!?!?!

Holub Christmas

 

Our first Christmas to start off the holiday season was our Holub's immediate family Christmas on Sunday 12/22/2013.  Even though we had gotten a lot of snow that Sunday morning we all made it for brunch at Mom and Dad's house!  It was a lot of fun this year!  Everyone had a wonderful time!!There was awesome food, great drinks, hanging out with family, and everyone got spoiled!!!  What more can you ask for!!!  A picture of all the grand kids!!!  We had to take quite a few pictures to end up with the final result!!! :)

Thanksgiving

Finally getting to blogging about Thanksgiving!!! Gee it has just been so busy lately!!  We had a great Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving just seems a little more relaxed and you can really enjoy visiting with family.  On Thanksgiving Day we went to my Aunt Vicki's to celebrate the Holidays.  The food was yummy and visiting was wonderful!!!  The kids always have a blast hanging out!!!  It definitely is a louder social event with all the kiddos, but that is what makes it fun!!!

 

Hoyt is definitely looking older...my baby is growing up!!! Sniff Sniff!!

Katelyn and Kali had similar outfits on so had to take a pic!!! Don't they look pretty! :)

 

Cuddeling with Aunt Becky!!!

 

On Saturday after Thanksgiving we celebrated the Washburn Thanksgiving!  Again more yummy food and ate way too much!!!  We had both smoked turkey and turkey from the oven plus all the other fixings...YUMMY!!!  But, holy cow it was like 55 degrees outside...it was so nice!!!  Kindra's family wasn't able to make it because they were picking up a puppy in Colorado, so not as many kiddos as normal, but everyone had a good time!!!

 

 

Hoyt wasn't feeling the best so he took a nap with Sissy!!

 

Also, the day after Thanksgiving we received a visit from The Elf on the Shelf.  He has been a HUGE hit at our house!!!  A few hiding spots he has hidden.....

 

 

Kali has named our Elf "Gift"!  He definitely loves heights...I think he is a little scared of Hoyt and what Hoyt may do to him...even though kids are not supposed to touch the elf or he will lose his magic.
