We celebrated Christmas w/ Justin's family on the 26th. It was lots of fun. We decided to attempt a cookie decorating marathon after feasting. The kids loved it! They were all creative and some enjoyed layering--icing, sprinkles+ icing sprinkles...repeat!-- more than others. (makes for lots of sugar and crunch!)
William won the jelly bean eating contest...ha! (he looks guilty!)
Didn't they all do a great job?! Cut-out-Cookies have been a long standing tradition in my family, so I though it'd be fun to share such a fun winter tradition w/ my other family. :) I think the cookies are the yummiest when rolled slightly thick and baked till light brown, then iced w/ almond flavored icing. Yum!
Thankfully Uncle Brian came to William's decorating rescue.
(all the nieces and nephews are so sweet!)
Gettin' Creative!
We brought a few of our favorite hard-back Christmas Story Books. Uncle Justin volunteered to read...and I think Ty actually read the story to Justin and Haley. :)
Opening gifts...Uncle Justin's gift to Connor and Ty is a weekend stay at our house and some firearms training. :) They were so excited, they wanted to come home w/ us that night.
Crazy Uncle Brian...he was getting the boys excited about opening their gifts.

I tried to take more diversified pictures at this get-together. I noticed all my Thanksgiving pictures were of 3 people. :)
Kellie and Ty...Say Cheese!
Janeen at her Post! (She's a brave lady to cook for such a hungry crew!) Her meal was delic!
Merry Christmas!!
