Christmas

We had so much fun Christmas morning.  Peyton was so excited to see his presents! It was Miles' first Christmas and he wasn't quite sure what was going on at first but then he got excited!

We went to Grammy's house after we were all done opening presents at our house.  We opened presents and were able to talk to Sam on his mission in Africa. Grammy had a yummy breakfast casserole for us to eat and it was way good!

We went to Grandma Terri's and Papa's house for dinner and to open presents.  We had a lot of fun in all the craziness!  I love getting all the cousins together!  Some of these pics are from a couple weeks before Christmas when the little cousins gave each other gifts so Scott could be there.

Activities in December

On Christmas Eve day we decided to make it a tradition to do an activity during the day with my mom.  This year we went bowling and it was so much fun!  We'll definitely have to do it again.  Jeff was the overall winner and I can't remember his score.  Peyton beat me by one point!

I love Miles' cute face in this picture.

We went with Jeff's family to see the lights at the park in Centerville.  It was freezing but a lot of fun.  We went to Grandma Terri's house after and made ginger bread houses.  It was a lot of fun!

We had the Benedict Christmas party at Peter's church (Jeff's uncle) this year.  It was a lot of fun, we had some yummy soups, sandwiches and desserts.  After we ate Santa came and talked to the kids and the boys played some basketball.
