Christmas

We made a last-minute decision to go up and visit family over Christmas. So, the morning of Christmas Eve, we did our own family Christmas at our house, then we drove up to Denver. We spent Christmas Eve night at Rustic Log Furniture in Denver along with Laci's parents, her sisters Micah and Amanda and their families, and her brother Ryan. We all chose beds on the showroom floor, and had a BYOB party (bring your own bedding).


After all the kiddos were in bed, Laci managed to catch Santa on camera.

Tailynne had two mornings of opening presents! Not all the presents in this picture were for her, but she still enjoyed being surrounded by so much wrapping paper.

Christmas Day, Ryan and Thom played chess using the "Cute Critters" and stuffed animals that were displayed around the store. It ended in a stale mate.

One of Laci's family traditions is gambeling with the Christmas candy that Santa left in their stockings. Laci and her dad were the last two in the game. Dad won. That's all I have to say. Oh, well, the candy was divided evenly after the game again anyway.

Tailynne had a good time playing with her cousin Caden. They made up their own game, which kept them entertained for about half an hour. Caden would climb into the cabinets, Tai would say, "bye," and close the cabinet doors on her. Then Caden would climb out, and they would repeat the process. All the time, they would laugh and squeel with each other.
