Christmas Eve Party at the Potters

After playing with our Christmas toys all day, it's time to party! This year we had Russ. Aileen, and Celine, Grandma Great, Brecken and Ryder for a bit, and Rebecca and her kids.

Just a bunch of stuffed bears, oh and Bella! :)

 Selfie with Lincoln!

 Selfie Bomb!

 The nativity story, complete with Ryan's super wise man! Olivia sat by the manger quietly singing Away in a Manger until we all joined in. . . and Lincoln told us to stop. :)

Lincoln was a big help with the matching game. He distributed the prizes. Olivia won every single time it was her turn! And of course the present game was amusing. :) 

 Yeah we totally cleaned up again. Wow that's a lot of stuff!

 Bella found a new best friend in Celine.

A quick bite of pie and we're on our way home!

Christmas!

Ryan got coal for Christmas cause he's always naughty.

 Bella was excited to open this big present it was to her and Jaden and contained sleeping bags for both of them.

 New books for Lincoln.

 Olivia asked Santa for a toy hamster and Bella asked for a Kindle. Both were pretty happy.

 Sword fight! 

 And pancakes for breakfast with raspberries and whip cream! Yum!

Jaden playing with his circuit set. He can do some pretty cool things with it.

Yancey Christmas Party

Time to join the Yancey's for some Christmas fun!

 The girls sang "Away In The Manger" They did a great job! Even when Lincoln tried to steal the spotlight. :)

 Jaden reading the part about the angel coming to the shepherds.

Lincoln was excited to see Santa because everyone else was,  he wasn't quite so sure when he had to go up and sit on his lap, but when Santa pulled out a bag of treats he was one happy kiddo! Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas and Bella said a car. Lincoln said "OK!"

 Yummy treats!

 Present time!

 Jaden got a neat electrical circuit set and a chess and checkers game.

 Olivia and Bella got matching dresses and crayons and color books.

Lincoln got a BIG Tonka truck! He was very pleased!

We love spending time with the cousins. Merry Christmas Yanceys!
