Christmas Festivities

So as I mentioned before, all of my pictures from December 1-25th got eaten by a virus on our computer. So thanks to my sister AmyLyn, all of the following pictures from her camera.

A few nights before Christmas we went on our traditional hayride and sang to friends in JaNae's neighborhood.

We then went to the Adam's house and took cute pictures of Jonah in Parker's fire truck, drank hot chocolate, and watched the BYU football game.
Jack, always posing for the camera! AND Loving being in daddy's arms after weeks of Law School finals.

CHRISTMAS EVE 2009 Merry Christmas!
My adorable Jonah is so mellow, always happy, and just the sweetest little baby.

Will someone please wipe that kid's nose?

He's a pretty cute "Joseph" if you ask me!! Especially with Kennidi as "Mary"

After the Nativity we were on to Secret Pals. (Home made gifts we exchange after we draw names at Thanksgiving.)
Jenica had John and made him an awesome DUKE cape that he can retire at Duke when he graduates in May.
Ella had Jack and she (or better, her mom) made him a tie and a "Don't Eat Jack" board game.
Mommy and Jonah!

Getting sleepy and ready for Santa to come!

The boys! John, Mark, Micheal, Jaren

Yes, we are super cheese! Was it ever a question??

Mom, Ashlyn, Amy, Melanie.

We missed you Jenica and Josh, but with all the back and forth you did between our house and the Ostlers we were never together, in our PJ's for a picture.

We wrap and give dad the same PJ's every single year... he still has never opened them!! He's worn the same pair of flannel pants to bed for as long as I can remember.

Then of course the kids were adorable in their matching Christmas PJ's
They boy's stash from Santa. Eating breakfast Christmas morning after opening our stockings (downstairs) and waiting to go upstairs to see what Santa brought!! PS nice snuggies Jaren and Mark.Coming up the stairs Christmas morning. As always, youngest to oldest. playin with each other's toys
In addition to Christmas PJ's this year (which I decided to put myself in charge of as my Christmas present to everyone... Mom especially since she was a little occupied with the wedding) AmyLyn made animal visors for everyone because after all, we are the "Zoo Crew". We all wore them to a fabulous breakfast Michael cooked us a few days after Christmas.
