Dad and Mom Gray

One of the best parts about Christmas is

going to my parents for brunch. I love it. 

 The Turner clan of four.

Christmas Day!!!!

 We got up right at six o'clock and started opening 

gifts while our breakfast cooked.  We always start with 

the stockings...

 Moving onto the big stuff..

We got a trampoline!!! Aspen kept saying this was

the best Christmas ever. She was right. My kids are at 

amazing stages in life, they really bring out the

Christmas magic.

Christmas Eve...

 Christmas Eve day was a little rough. Trent and I both had

to work all day so that means the kids were in daycare.

As soon as we all got home things seemed to get good real

fast. The kids opened their gifts from Jingles right away. Aspen got

pajamas and the new Taylor Swift CD, Raider got pajamas

and some spider man books.

 Modeling the new pajamas and silly faces.

 (Raider got his new pjs dirty, therefor, he had to change).

After jingles, dinner, reading the Christmas story, 

and getting cookies out for Santa, the kids exchanged

their gifts to each other. Aspen gave Raider lincoln logs. Raider 

gave Aspen a Hello Kitty ds game and alarm clock.

Gray Christmas Dinner

 The Gray family had their Christmas dinner the 

Sunday before Christmas. The party was the usual,

dinner, read Grandma Grays letter, talk about the true meaning of 

Christmas and then exchange our family gifts.

 sweet sweet baby Ray...

Aspen and Zoey listen to Grandpa read the last few

pages of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" 

Here lie the best kids ever, taking a break 

from all the Christmas chaos.

Merrill Party

 Merrill Family Christmas Party, although

none of us actually have the last name of Merrill.

Norah and Trent really hit it off!!! No joke, this

little girl is so stink'in cute. Trent fell in love with her.

 The gang. (I love Camis face)

 Aspen had a speaking part, she did amazing.

 Of coarse Raider wouldn't hold still

Raider and Aspen exchanged gifts with Cami's boys, Carter and

David. next year we will have to get all the kids involved. 

Turner Christmas Party.

 Trent and his side kick (no really, Raider

cause Aspen is too cute.
