Christmas 2014!

We're so grateful for the wonderful Christmas we had this year!  We all attended mass at St. Jerome's on Christmas Eve and enjoyed the message of "love".  Our family takes up exactly one entire pew!  Afterwards we headed over to Jerry's mom's house for dinner.  The boys LOVED eating mac and cheese from CPK and playing with their cousin Devin.  They look forward to the white elephant gift exchange every year!

Christmas morning was filled with wonder!  The boys were thrilled that Santa had come and especially liked that my mom and dad were there to share in the excitement.  My mom and dad made a wonderful prime rib dinner for all of us...yummy!  The cousins loved revealing who their "Secret Santa" was and opening gifts from grandma and papa.  We couldn't end the night without playing a mean card game of elimination!  We're so blessed to be a part of this crazy family!  :)

These 7 cousins are amazingly close to one another!  xoxo

The Ferullo Family (Susie 48, Amanda 17, Nick & Nat 14)!

The Laubmeier Family (Jerry 40, Christina 39, Brody 10, and Wyatt 7)!

The Robinette Family (Theresa 47, Eric 19, and Tatum 10)!

We're so grateful to be spending another wonderful Christmas with my mom and dad (Jim 76 and Bonnie 70).  They are both happy and healthy! 

The boys LOVED their white elephant gifts at Mimi's house!

Mimi liked her personalized calendar and mug!

The Larson Family is here visiting from CA (Jerry's sister and family)!

We had to say goodbye to Elfie and Snowflake on Christmas Eve!  The boys picked out a gift for them at their school holiday house.  Snowflake is wearing the pretty ring Wyatt picked out for her on her arm.  Elfie is holding his cool grabber that Brody picked out for him!  We already miss them! 

Reindeer food sprinkled in the front and backyard...check, note written to Santa...check, cookies and milk left for Santa...check, carrots left for the reindeer and Flysbie (cute reindeer by Brody's arm that helps Santa fly his sleigh)...check, boys tucked in for a good nights sleep...check!  Whew!

This was on Christmas morning.  Wyatt had asked Santa for a GINORMOUS panda bear!  WOW!  It is bigger that Wyatt!

Brody asked Santa for a Mip!  He loves it!

I got some new sneakers and Jerry got a speaker for the Can Am!

Brotherly love...awe!

Wyatt loves all of his amazing gifts...especially his ipod!

Brody was so happy to get a laptop!!!
Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends!!!!  xoxo
