Christmas with the Mathews'!

We had such a fun Christmas! On Christmas Eve we went over to my parents house with my Aunt and Uncle and cousin, Katie, and also our friends, the Nyes. It was so fun to have them come with us! We ate lots of yummy food, sang carols, read the Christmas story and played Roger and Kelly's Wii. It was lots of fun!

This is the kids waiting with their hands out and eyes closed for their Christmas Eve present from Grandma!

When we got home that night Santa began his work. Here is each kid's finished product:


Let me add a little note about that doll house for Brynley. This dollhouse took Santa almost 3 hours to put together! It was so confusing and in the beginning it was hard to tell which way things went so there was more than a few times Santa had to take it back apart and re-put it together! Talk about frustrating! Then Santa had it all finished and was admiring the finished product when we realized that the bottom back wall was on upside down! We had to take apart one of the sides and turn it around and put it back together again! AHHHH! We finally got into bed around 1am.

Caleb woke up around 6am, like usual. He loved his santa toys and had lots of time to play because Brynley didn't get up until almost 8am and we wouldn't let him open presents. Once she was up she began playing with her dollhouse and hasn't really stopped since! I'm so glad she loves it so much. Caleb also got this talking parrot that is actually pretty funny and he hasn't stopped playing with that.




My family came over and had breakfast a hung out for a couple hours. Later in the day brandon's brother and his family (Jeremy and Angie) came over and all the cousins got to play. Caleb and Brynley LOVE their cousins!

We had such a wonderful Christmas and we hop you all did too!
