This year we packed up and headed up to Fairfield for Christmas. We got up there Wednesday night and hung out and relaxed most of Christmas Eve. Nels and I volunteered to cook Christmas Eve dinner to give Janis a break. We cooked Prime Rib, Fried Breaded Shrimp and made homemade fries. This was the first time we had ever done a prime rib, so with good directions from my dad it turned out great and was sooo easy to do! I was a little nervous, after all you don't want to be remembered for ruining Christmas Eve dinner :).
Nels and Tate hard at work frying the shrimp and fries in the garage. Thanks Tate for all your help!
Slicing the fries, check out the potato slicer! So handy!
Luke, Lacee, Kaden, Kolby, Ashley and McKay were all up there too.
All the girls: Ashley, Andrea, Janis, Macee, Annie, and Lacee
All the boys: Tate, Nels, Charles, Luke, Mckay, Dylan, Kaden, Kolby, and Carter
The kids spreading Reindeer Food so Santa would find us.
Kaden, Kolby, and Dylan are all one month apart. Lacee got these adorable PJ's for them all last year when they where born. I am glad we where together for Christmas. We may as well call them the "three musketeers" now! I see lots of mischief at future get togethers!

Inspecting his toys
Carter's loot from Santa
I could tell that Annie is really starting to grow up this year. She didn't want any toys from Santa, just clothes and an MP3 player.
Macee got her barn set
Dylan has found his nose!!
Making sure Carter's train table looked ok.
Christmas Day was so wonderful. We stayed in our PJ's and played with toys almost the whole day. We did venture out later on that afternoon to play some basketball at the church. Lots of late nights, game playing, and of course eating way too much good food! We sure had a great Christmas and am grateful that Charles and Janis let us come take over the house. I am so thankful for my family and that we can be together forever! We have been so blessed in our lives!P.S. Thanks Lacee for taking all of these pics for me (my camera wasn't working).

Sounds like a wonderful dinner & a great Christmas!
Good work on dinner! Looks like the kids all got what they wanted! That is a call train table! I love the Disney Land picture of Macee eating her meat! I think that is going to be a good blackmail picture someday!
It was so good to see you all! I'm still salivating over Christmas eve dinner, it was delish! I love the pic of Dylan picking his nose, lol! Although, I gotta say our boys are probably more like the 3 stooges rather than the 3 musketeers :)
Yummy!!! Prime Rib and Shrimp... What a cute family you have
