Christmas!

So this year for Christmas, we had a full house because Evan and Jen came up as well as Mom and Byron! We had a lot of fun together, playing games, watching movies into all hours of the morning...so when Christmas morning arrived bright and early, the adults were a little on the tired side, but we still had fun! First, we had the Benbow Christmas at our house.


We had to pull Charlotta out of bed, so she was a little out of it at first.

Getting the stockings down!

Byron and his dog, Duncan!

Helping Brennen open his stocking!

A stocking favorite-the lottery tickets! This year, I got some tickets that were a little confusing and a lot of work and hardly anybody won. Next year, I will go simple!

All Brennen wanted to do was eat his candy. He did not care very much about opening the presents. He just kept roaming around looking for any dropped candy to eat!

Lotta loved the packaging!

James in his new swim sweats!

Papa reads Brennen his new book, "It's Christmas, David (Dabid according to Brenne)!"

Kellen was convinced that Santa was bringing him trains--it was a good thing that Santa was on the ball this year! He was very happy with his new train set.

Skylar gets the Yuck Book!

Evan and Jen opening their presents!

Mormor was very surprised at her Tiffany bracelet!

Skylar with all of her loot from the first Christmas!

I got a beautiful pair of earrings from JT for Christmas! I am wearing them here.

Then we headed over to Marilyn and Jim's house for the Dean family Christmas!
Grandma Dean enjoying a lot of time with the babies!

Pass the baby to grandma!

The kids waiting patiently (ha ha) for their second round of present opening!

Grandpa and Charlotta

Ross and Brenne were having a lot of fun together!

Skylar gets the present that she wanted most of all-a pink camera!

Again, Brennen just hid out and tried to eat as much candy as possible.

Katie, Matt and cousin Jackie!

I love this picture of Charlotta!

Brennen looking for candy in his stocking!

Skylar using her new camera.

Moms and Babes!

Cousins-two weeks apart in age! What a bunch of cuties!

Every year, we do a gag gift for each other and this year, we got the Shake Weight! If you have ever seen the commercial, you would know why this is funny!

Skylar and James play with the Lego set that JT spent about 3 hours putting together!
