Christmas 2008!

Christmas pictures are finally here! This year we spent Christmas Eve up at Mark's parents house with his family for the day and evening and then we went home and had Christmas morning with our family and my brother Tyson and his family. So the next several pics are of Christmas Eve with the whole Stacy clan, minus Jeff and Brittany ( We missed you guys!!) Mark took Zach and Jeff and Justin up to the snow to go sledding somewhere and they seemed to have a blast even though it was freezing!!! I opted to stay home with the girls and stay warm and cozy by the fire. Anyways, after an incredible Prime Rib dinner (thanks to Grandma and Grandpa!), we tackled the presents and the kids loved getting to open presents even before Santa came!! What a treat!!











Kali's loving her Littlest Pet shop toy from Uncle Jeremy and Zach is lovin what he just opened up even though he really has no idea what he is holding in his hand!! His very first BB gun! AHHH!! Was my my first thought! This toy is for Grandma and Grandpa's house ONLY!! Thanks Uncle Jeremy :)





My three little munchkins in their new jammies! A tradition in my family growing up was that we always got to open one present on Christmas Eve and it was always new PJ's. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with Mark's family and I am truly blessed to be married into such a great family!!

We had Christmas morning at home with my brother Tyson and his family and then we all went over to Kristin and Neal's for a big breakfast and to open presents with them. This Christmas was so much fun with having so much family to be with. Although it was pretty chaotic and crazy most of the time, the kids really seemed to enjoy having all the cousins to play with and I really enjoyed having a brother and a sister to celebrate with this year too. These first two pics are of my kids stockings that my amazing mother-in-law made!! I had to show them off. Anyways, Kali, Zach and Madelyn seemed to really enjoy Christmas this year. It was so much fun seeing how excited they were about Santa coming and how amazed they were that Santa actually brought things that they wanted. We really had a great Christmas this year and I am sooooo very grateful for this time of year and how blessed we really are in so many ways.





Thanks Mema and Grandpa for the books and Jammies!! We love and missed you this year! Sorry I could only get Zach to pose for this one. As you can see I pretty much get Zach for everything because Kali would hide from the camera almost anytime I tried to take a pic! She's a little stinker when it comes to taking pictures.







Zach and Kali got a special big present from Mom and Dad this year. New Scooters! They love them and couldn't wait to get outside to ride them. Grandma and Grandpa Stacy came down on Christmas day for the afternoon and brought some fun gifts too! Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa Stacy!! We love you!!
