Christmas Dinner

WE spent Christmas dinner with our second family, The Marchants, and since Brett had to work I wasn't going to stay home:) We arrived and Nena was hard at work in the kitchen getting our super yummy dinner ready! I also had to snap a couple of shots of the girls in their new Christmas outfits. I think they're pretty darn cute! Of course there were appetizers ready to go. I especially liked the BBQ pork. Seriously, I think I ate almost all of it! Rachel and Jayden with Grandma. and of course more presents because they didn't get enough that morning!! Ashleigh bought Rachel the matching scarf to with her outfit. she was with me when I bought so she knew what to get. I got Mayson some tech decks and kit kats:) I bought Allyson and Ashleigh some fun make-up:) Nena gave the girls a whole set of Living Scriptures coloring books. Love it!!! Rachel was super excited for this one! She's been wanting it for a while!! I love that she still loves younger toys and isn't too caught up in getting older:) A Tinkerbell tea set? what else could a girl ask for? Isn't my ring just glam? I've been wanting one of these stretchy rings for a while now. They are the only ones that fit my huge hands! (I wonder where Jayden gets all of her cute poses?) the girls also got snuggies!! tinkerbell and princess. They've been sleeping every night with those bad boys! Jayden and Isabella (a friend's daughter) Everyone was in love with that girl! I wonder why? She is so adorable! Mayson was given a keyboard from Santa and he was playing for my girls. Too cute! I told you this girl was a hit! Jayden was pretty cute too:) seriously, I don't know where Jayden gets it?:):) Yes my friends, you're eyes are not deceiving you. That's a turkey and ham in one dinner!! Oh so good!!! the kid table and the adult table! so fun! This is Nena's oldest son Morgan and his Girlfriend. How do they grow so fast?! yea, she's just cute! Rachel LOVES babies!! She is going to be a great babysitter and some day a fabulous mom! To finish the night we needed a little dessert We really like dessert, so we went all out: pumpkin pie, pecan pie, chocolate truffle cream puffs, choclate raspberry mini cakes and a double chocolate cake:) We all slept good that night!
