Merry Christmas

Well Christmas Eve started out with Taylee pulling out her front tooth! She looks so funny with it missing. She said she wanted to sing that song about wanting front teeth for christmas, funny huh? So she was visited by the tooth fairy and santa claus in the same night! How lucky was that! Maybe they rode there together in Santa's sleigh.(taylee's theory)

First stop on christmas eve is Grandma Braegger's party at the Bear River Civic Center. We out grew her house a few years ago. It is great to be in a big room where we all fit great.

My sister, Jaycee and Brother, Lance

My brother, Trapper and his family, Robyn, Avery and Dax

My Grandma Braegger and my Dad. (they both do not like getting their picture taken, can you tell)

Me, my mom, Jaycee and Robyn

Next we headed to my Grandpa Woodyatt's house in Willard. My Grandma Grover was there also. We were late getting to this party, because they decided to start it 1 & 1/2 earlier than other years, so we got there just in time for desert and presents.

Taylee and Brinley opening their pj's (a tradition)

Here are the little girls in their matching pj's

Brinley, Kalea, Elle, Hallee, and Taylee

Here are the big boys in their pj's: Austin, Conner, Hunter, Tanner, & Preston


CHRISTMAS MORNING..........

The kids all got "webkins" in their stockings, so we are cool with the kid crowd now.

Brinley's favorite present was her baby doll and baby crib. She also liked her puppy dog she named Zippy.

Taylee's favorite was her MP3 player. She loves music. She also loved her art set and all her clothes.

Austin's favorite was his PSP! He was so excited. He also got a Rip Stick skateboard and a microscope.

My sister and my parent's doggy, Lizzie. she got a new coat for christmas.

My parents, Jaycee and Lance all came over christmas morning for presents. Santa brings Jaycee and Lances presents to our house too. This is the last year that Lance gets to be here. Next year, He will be married.
Next, my parents had their christmas party that afternoon...........

Austin and Brinley fell asleep in the 10 minute car ride to my parent's house! Boy they must of got up early!

Chris, Brinley, & Austin snuggling before the party started.

Brinley got some cute clothes, more pj's and polly pockets! her favorite!

Taylee got Hannah Montana camera, jewelery box and 8 ball, & lots of clothes.

Austin got lots of clothes and more PSP games, which he loved!

Here is a picture of my dad with his head light flashlight on his head. Lance gave that to him for putting on lures in the dark when he is fishing.

We gave Trapper a snow sled, so the kids thought it would be fun to sit in it. Brinley, Austin, Avery & Dax. We had a great Christmas holiday! Thanks to all our Family! We love you all!

Christmas Sunday

Well here is our annual sunday Christmas picture. The girls got new dresses this year, but poor Austin, he did not. But he doesn't care, he had a black shirt that matched just perfect. The kids sang in the sacrament meeting program. I love the song they sang. It is called Baby in a Manger. Brinley even went up there and stood. I think I even saw her mouth move during the chorus. She is going to be a sunbeam in January. I am kind of a slacker on Christmas cards this year, so here is a shout out to everyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

After we went to my parents house, we came home and watched my favorite christmas movie. I dug it out from all the "tapes" in my parents basement. It is just recoreded from tv, back from long ago, when I was a kid. It is called "One Magic Christmas". I did not know it was a Disney show! The girls liked it, I think. Taylee asked lots of questions instead of just watching the show and finding out for herself. But here is a picture of us girls watching my show.

Snyder Christmas Party

Yesterday was Chris's parents christmas party. We were all there except Matt & Amy & family, cause they moved to Indiana. We Sure did miss them though! The day started with a lot of snacks to snack on, which I REALLY snacked on a lot! Then the cousins exchanged their gifts with each other.

Michelle took charge of that activity, which worked out well for everyone.

This is Reagan, my little niece. If I had to play favorites (which I don't) she would be my favorite. She is so special to me. She is 2 1/2 years old and can walk behind a walker/stroller. She is so fun to play with. We had her name and we gave her a doll. She loved it!

Brinley got a apron, cookie cutters, little rolling pin & sprinkles to make cookies. The only bad thing was, she wanted to make them NOW!

Taylee got a hair scrunchie, and Hannah Montana pencils and pens! That is right up her ally!

Austin got an erector set of a motorcycle. He spent the whole rest of the day putting all 103 pieces together!

It is tradition to act out the nativity. Here is the group picture of them all.

"Star"ing the 3 angels, Ellie, Kenedee & Brinley

Taylee as Mary, and Austin as Joseph. (They must not like each other much. Look at the space between them.)

Chris, as the donkey. He was a bad person to do that! He has horrible knees! But Taylee loved it!

Our Shepherds, Emmaleigh & Devin. They were the cutest ones. Devin about hit everyone with the cane and Emmaleigh looked like a midget! It was so cute!

Here are the angels "ON HIGH". They loved how they got to stand on the table for a bit!

And we had 1 wise "man". Collins had a turbin and all. He was awesome!

We had a great day! We love our family! Merry Christmas!

Celebration Dinner

Well if you did not know, Lance is getting married! Yeh! He has found an awesome, darling & fun girl named Jamee. They are a lot alike! We are so excited to have her be part of the family and to get to know her more. They are getting married on March 14th, my dad's birthday.
Trapper, Robyn, Jaycee, River, Chris, & I all went out to dinner with Lance and Jamee to celebrate this exciting time in their lives.

Jamee and Lance (I love ya already Jamee)

Chris & I (nice shirt honey!)

Jaycee and River (the youngest, hippest couple)

Trapper & Robyn (you keep the evening fun & exciting like always)

I love my family. We were really missing my brother Bryan and his wife, Heather though. Texas is just too far away!

We decided that we are going to make a tradition that at least 4 times a year we do this. But I really hope it is more. Love you all, We had a great time!

Happy Turkey Day!

Turkey day started out with a little neighborhood flag football, which they called it the "Turkey Bowl". Chris & Austin had a blast playing with the neighborhood guys! Chris is #7

Austin is wearing the brown hoodie running towards the ball. I guess when the game was all over, Chris made one touchdown and Austin made two!

The annual, before we go to thanksgiving dinner, picture.

We went to Chris's parents house this year. His sister Michelle and her family was there and his brother Brian and his girlfriend, Heidi. Austin had a blast playing with my niece Reagan! thay played forever. He is such a good boy to play with his little cousins!

Then after we let the food settle, we all went bowling! We love the shoes!

Austin trying to teach Brinley how to push it down the lane. He is having a difficult time showing her.

This is how Taylee got it down the lane!

Look at that pro bowler stance!! what a stud!

Look at my luck! I am not a very good bowler, but on Turkey day, I bowled three strikes in a row, which is called a "Turkey". How lucky is that!

Then that night we went and saw the Disney movie "Bolt" . We loved Rhino in the show. He was our favorite.

We are so thankful for all our family and the fun day we had!
