Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas with both of our families. It started with Christmas Eve at my parents house, with Liz, Jesse, Natalie, Addison, Kristen, Andy and my parents. Santa even came to my parents house and brought each of the kids a present! All 3 of our kids actually gave Santa a hug (which is a surprise, considering the last time they saw Santa - see my earlier post). And of course, before Santa left, Jayden, Natalie, and Papa had to do ring-around-the-rosie with Santa (which is a tradition Jayden started when she was 2 years old!)

Then on Christmas Day, we had all of Corey's family over to our house - Luke, Jared, Shawn, Lori, Ashlyn, Derek, Brandon, Shawn Jr., Grandma Riedel, Scott and Lorraine. We had the heat on in our garage, so the kids (and Jared, Luke, Corey) could play Playstation games and Singstar (a singing competition). It was nice, because then the rest of us could watch movies or play with the little kids and didn't have to hear the horrible singing going on outside (haha!) :)

The night ended with Uncle Luke and Uncle Jared spending the night, since Luke was only in town for a few days before flying back home to Virginia. But at about 9:00pm, Jayden woke up puking!! :( Her stomach just couldn't handle all the sweets, etc. from the holiday. Poor girl! This has happened a few times before, so we are now aware that she has a sensitive stomach to junk food.

Here are some pictures from Christmas - Enjoy!!
