Christmas 2009

Christmas was a little different at our house this year. Jesse and Colton had to work on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day in St. George so it was pretty quiet around here until they were able to get home.
Christmas Eve Reeder's and Grandma and Grandpa Pulsipher came up to celebrate with us. The Wards and Bodilys even got to spend it with us this year. We had a night full of yummy sweet pork dinner, treats, piano recitals, lots of laughs and even some jamming out to Rockband. It was a fun night but definately wasn't the same without the boys!

We decided to let Rylee open her presents from our family that night so she wouldn't be so overwhelmed with all of her new toys in one day. She was so cute and excited about opening them. As soon as she would get the wrapping paper off each of them she would say oh wow, wow!!

If you cant tell Rylee is just kind of the center of attention :)...Thanks for sharing her with us Ash and Justin!!

Christmas Day we got up and my mom cooked our family and grandma and grandpa Pulsipher, Stan, Debbie, Justin and Ashlee breakfast. Then the Wards left to go to Justin's parents house and we spent the day at Stan and Debbie's. Grandma and Grandpa Reeder came to visit and brought Aunt Joyce with them. Other than that we didn't do much besides eat and be lazy by the fire all day.
Our real Christmas started at the 3:30 AM on the 26th when Jesse and Colton finally made it home. Colton didn't want to wake his family up so early so instead they picked up Tiny and headed to our house to get us all up. We got up and opened presents and talked to them for a little bit before we went back to bed again. We all got spoiled again as usual. As tired as we were it sure was exciting to finally have them home!

Tiny was super tired!

Later that night we had one more party since the boys had missed all of our family parties. We of course had more good food and lots of laughs watching each other try to play the wii.

Jesse even brought his cute girlfriend Miranda to meet the family!

Now we've said all of our goodbyes and the Wards and Jesse and Colton are back home! Back to school and work for everyone tomorrow :(
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
