Christmas Eve at the Clays

Nicki, Tom, Devon and Connor,  Paul, Megan and Zoey, Dave, Kristine, Victoria and Peter all arrived at our house late Sat. morning.  We snacked for a while, sang some Christmas songs and then Devon read the Christmas Story from Luke 2.  After that it was youngest to oldest opening presents to each other.  Dave, Kristine and Victoria were the only ones spending the night and would be with us Sunday morning so with no protest from Nicki......we opened them ALL.  We really loved all the presents we got and especially the ones sent lovingly from  the Leonards, Nesbitts, Breadys and O'Neals, who couldn't be with us this Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

 Ho Ho Ho.......Merry Christmas Eve!

Fun at the Leonards without US!

I snitched these pictures off of Ashley's blog.....so don't tell her! Ha!

Parker, James & Ian got into these boxes & asked their parents to ship them to GRANDMA'S!  I wish!!!

Ashley & fam. & Cami & fam. all flew to Amy and Curt's home in WA to spend Christmas together.  

BOO HOO

Parker didn't want Dally to get left behind!

Thanksgiving in Jersey at Eisenman's

We had a great time at Eisenman's for Thanksgiving.   We ate, played games, watched football and ate, played more games, played football and ate again!  

 Peyton made all the table decorations for our dinner.  She sure looked cute in her turkey shirt she made at school!  Thanks Celeste and Mike for having all of us in your beautiful home to celebrate Thanksgiving!
