Christmas was busy this year! Ben's immediate family came to spend the night on the 23rd, we opened gifts with them Christmas Eve morning, then hosted Diane's family that night. Christmas Day was spent with Jeff's family out in Estacada. My parent's came to spend the night on the 26th, and then we hosted them and my sister on the 27th. That's a lot of partying! It was full of fun, family, laughter, food, presents, pictures, and even a little snow!
Without further ado, here are pictures for Morris side Christmas, starting with one of our little family in front of our Christmas tree:
The big boys received the Little House on the Prairie books from Nate and Holly. I asked them each to hold one up so I could get a pictures. Sam gave me a #1...a true sports fan I guess.
Ellie was so sweet and fun to watch. Here she's trying to get her gun to shoot.
Joshy was thrilled with his farm blocks from Nate and Holly
More of Ellie. She's was hilarious trying to put on her own pants and open gifts.
New pajamas for their baby due in June
Joshy and Mama
Grandma Deedo helping put together Josh's trailer for his cozy coupe
Uncle Caleb sitting down for a picnic with the kids.
Levi played basketball (or wrestling/tackling) with the boys. They had a blast!
We bought Josh this trailer for his car as a Christmas present. We were so excited to give it to him because we knew that he would love it. Little did we know it would save us from Josh and Ellie having to take turns with the car; now they would both be satisfied because one could drive and the other hopped in the trailer. It was so cute to watch them interact!
Grandparents and Grandkids
The whole family
Now we come to hosting 22 for Christmas Eve. Here's the food spread for the night!
Some of the group
The kids entertained everyone by playing balloons in the living room
Little Ellie had everyone in stitches as she showed off with her balloon
The boys received Oregon Ducks shirts from Uncle Bruce and Aunt Julie
All the grandkids (and great grandkids) with Grandma Luscombe
And finally, a few pictures from Christmas Day at Aunt Tani's. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the twins playing the hay loft with Tani--they have said that that's one their favorite memories from this Christmas.
Every year the Morris' reenact the Christmas story. Ben is a shepherd wearing his cowboy hat.
Seth and Sam were the Wise Men traveling on their camels (Tani and Glenn). I was so proud of them for participating! They are overcoming their shyness!
Tani and Glenn are so good to the kids. They love them!
Caleb and Ben: no one can tell that they're brothers, right? Ha!
I had to put in this picture because of the look that Nathan is giving me in the background. Stinker!
Still to come: Ruda Christmas and Snow Day!
