Dear Santa...

all Gunnar wants for Christmas is a Harry Potter Lego Hogwarts Castle.

"Not the small one...the big one".

see below...

and all Coby wants is to not have to go see Santa.

Sorry Cobes.Chance said Santa "seemed drunk". Let's hope not.

Thank you Santa!

Oh Christmas Tree...

This is the one!!The guy at Lowe's said he had worked in the Christmas tree lot for three years and he had never seen a family get their picture taken with the tree. I thought that was so strange/sad. He told us it made him "happy".Tying down the tree.

Don't tell Chance I told you this but he wanted to pretend that he tied our tree down. In reality the Lowe's guy did it for us. Sooooo nice.Chance brought the heavy tree in all by himself.Chance straightening the tree and putting on the Angel.

Decorating!

We listened to Christmas music and decorated our beautiful tree. We had a really good time. It is such a fun way to begin this wonderful season.

I LOVE Christmas!!

Christmas Night @ Romi's

After opening presents at Grandma's we all headed over to the Afework house for dinner and games.

Chance, Grandma, and Rocky

I love this gorgeous man.Dan made a delicious steak and potato dinner...thank you so much Dan!

The girls did a wonderful Christmas song (and dance) from The Nightmare Before Christmas. They also performed... All The Single Ladies by Beyonce. They were so good. They have great voices and they can really dance.John and Chance performed We Three Kings again. And then Chance played a few songs by himself. Everyone was cheering and clapping for him.

Christmas @ Grandma's House

On Christmas we open presents from youngest to oldest. Piper is first.

Gunnar doesn't have to wait that long.

We got Jory a "Fur Real" parrot. She liked it.

Malachi loved his new vest from grandma.

Uncle Austin came late on Christmas Eve. We were so happy he made it.
My nieces are getting so old. I can't take it. They look like teenagers.

Riley ~ SophieWe draw names between the Clark siblings and spouses.

John got Sabrina and I got Beau.

I got him some Seahawk stuff and a picture I took of him and Melissa a few months ago. He had never seen the picture so he was very surprised. Austin and Dad are one of the last to open their presents. It is a long morning but so much fun.

Merry Christmas!!
