Here are some more pictures. I made Brenda those gloves from knitting with wool. Then we gave dad a frame like tylers except it says hunting. Then lacey she wanted a black purse so that is what we got her and I think she really liked it. We also gave her a frame with our family picture because she is moving to dubuque and I wanted her to know that we will always be there for her no matter what. We love you Lacey!

You know can't you tell that my brother gets so excited when taking pictures. It's so hard to get him to smile. Here is a picture of my mother opening her gift we got her a suncatcher that is shaped as an angel it's beautiful. Then here again are the kids in their pajamas. They are so cute.

Here are the kids opening their gifts. We got peyton some roller blades for his birthday then we got them each some pajamas. We bought Tyler a frame to put all his wrestling pictures in boy is he growing to fast. They get harder and harder to shop for.

I had christmas with my family on Dec 23rd. It was really nice to be with everyone. Even though it didn't seem like christmas because matt and I only opened gifts the others were waiting till christmas because we couldn't be there. Hopefully next year I will be able to be there on christmas day. My nieces and nephews are growing so much I hardly get to see them anymore but it was great being able to spend time with them.

These little guys are santas little helpers!! I went over to my friend renee's house on thursday the 21st to have a get together with some friends. She made a great roast and potatoes. Then we had desert and boy was that good. I had bought little santa hats for the kids to get their pictures in and they looked so cute. Top left hand side is Carter he is renees son and he is the youngest one there. Then next to Carter is Vincent who is amy's son. Then there is aidan who is melissa's son. I have been lucky to have babysat carter and aidan and they are the cutest little things.

These are pictures of us in the arch and then we went on a horse drawn carriage ride. We had a blast even though when you go up the arch you are in like a little elevater which was hard for me. But when we stepped out of the elevators it was an instant feeling of wanting to throw up the arch was swaying really horrible and it just wanted to make you sick. But at least I can say we did it. Then our horses name was elvis which I thought was so neat considering my sister loves elvis.

This is my second family we went to St. Louis to visit Abby she had moved there in the summer. She works at the embassy suites which was awesome. It was huge there was 12 floors to it. We had a blast! Mary treated us all to massages which felt so good. Shit head which is SUE was a blast you never know what is going to come out of her mouth. They are such wonderful people even though I think we were all ready to strangle each other at the end. LOL!!
