Matt went out to Mom and Dad's earlier than Lily and I. He had big plans with John and the boys to go hunting that morning. So, he loaded up Oasis and his guns and he was off.
Lily and I arrived around lunch time. The Ferzelys arrived soon after. Matt and the boys came by and showed off their birds. Don't they look like they have fun together?
The ornery girls, maybe they will be hunting next year. ha ha!
Look at all those goodies Virgie and Mom made. Yum!
We had a nice relaxing afternoon. The kids played together and were anxiously waiting to open gifts. As soon as we said OK, they were passing out presents left and right.

Uncle John and the two hooligans. Spoiled!
Caden and Delanie
Scott and Matt sat in this chair together almost all weekend. A little weird, I know.
One of Lily's presents from Sydney. She now has new dolls and furniture for her dollhouse that Santa brought her last year.
I love how we open gifts. We start with either the oldest or youngest person and we all watch as they open their gift.
After all the kids were done opening presents, they played with them while us adults opened our gifts. We are all very fortunate to be able to give to others. John had Matt's name, so he asked me if I wanted to go in on a gift with him...

Lily had to help Maverick deliver it to Matt.
He loves it!!!!
Lily and Sydney both got CD players with headphones. They enjoyed singing together.
Our day together consisted of lunch, presents, eating, playing, and going to the cemetery to visit Mullen. We each had a candle and it looked amazing. We all miss him very much. His gravestone is in now and it is beautiful.
Now...
off the Minden to see their lights on the courthouse.

I couldn't quite figure out the setting on my camera that would work. So, I didn't get that great of pictures. In this picture, Uncle John thought it was fun to drag the kids by their leg and let go. They would slide out a few more feet.
TaDa!!
They had fun sliding all over the place.
Even, Daddy had fun!!!
Lily and her Aunts!
When we got home we enjoyed some Hot Chocolate and a few games of BINGO! We stayed the night at Grandma and Grandpa's because we all went to church the next morning. It is always nice to attend church with the family.
After church we came back for lunch and then the kids decorated Christmas cookies.

That evening we asked our neighbor Michala if she could take a family picture of us for our Christmas card. She was very patient with us and we got some good ones.

And... we got a winner!
I had three days of school the week of Christmas and it was probably the hardest week. The kids were just ready to be out of school.
