For the last 3 years we have gone to Amber's for Christmas morning. We get up early, early load the truck and drive to Amber's. It is so much fun for us all to be together and watch the kids open their presents. After gifting, we have a huge Christmas breakfast, relax for a bit, then Dana and I drive home. Sage, Jer and Addison stay for the day-they have a little tradition of taking the kids to see Christmas lights and eat Jack in the Box for dinner-gotta love traditions, the funny the better.

Christmas Eve!

Sage, Jer and Addison

Christmas Eve was at Sage and Jer's, this is Addison's 1st Christmas and to make it all the more fun for her Mommy and Daddy she is crawling and can get into everything!

Pictures with Santa

I scanned this picture-the size isn't right and it's crooked but the kiddies are the cutest, we even got Addison smiling! This is the best Santa picture-no tears!

Waiting for our turn to sit on Santa's lap!
