Christmas Day 2013

25 December 2013





Every Christmas Day is a whirlwind of fun for us as we visit several homes and share the love.





We started early at the St. John's:


Paige helped Jazzmin open her presents.


Hayden, Spencer and Kari did well.
I was amazed at how well Santa did, even without Cherie's guidance.


A highlight today was a video call with Katelyn.  Love that girl so much.

Next to Tom & Julie's with a bonus this year as Jeff & Melissa are living there for a couple of months during their home remodel:





Eloise Dawn Mott


Melissa actually took real pictures.
Love her necklace from Tiffany.




Jeff is such a good Dad.
The Mott family added to the fun as they came and joined us in the festivities. 


Julie is following our family tradition.
If you stay overnight, you get a stocking filled by Santa.
I was so happy that Lauren is still using the stocking I made for her.


Lauren brought Ulysses with her, of course.
Sweet Lexus always cuddles with Julie.
Jeff's parents are Susan & Jack Marietta and Julie & Roger Mott


Madeline Jane Mott


Now to our house to open presents:




Tom and Julie looked at the photo book of past Christmases.


I love the Christmas stockings Mom made for our daughters.


Beautiful Melissa.


Paige always looks so cute. I love teens in braces.


The year of the Vitamix.


The Dad always passes out the presents.


Spencer, Hayden and Kari - make me so very happy.


To end the day we went to Mom's. Love seeing the family there, I just wish more came like they have done in the past.  I especially miss seeing Karl's girls.  



Karl, Trinka and Chad


Mark and Michelle have such a cute family.
Brighton, McKinley and Denali with their new dolls.
