Christmas Eve day, Christmas Eve and Christmas day....Man I LOVE Christmas!

My Dad got my Mom, Me, my Grandma and Shayna all tickets to the Nutcracker. Thank you so much Dad! We went on Christmas Eve day. I love the Nutcracker and I love even more that Shayna loves it. She sits through the whole thing and doesn't make a sound. She is such a good girl. I can't wait until I get to watch her in the Nutcracker!!

Of course you can't go to the Nutcracker without buying a Nutcracker to add to the collection.

There was this cute jewelery box next to the Nutcrackers that Shay thought was cute, so of course she got it. It even came with a bracelet!

Santa was even at the Nutcracker, you are not allowed to have a camera inside the theater, when I was taking pictures of Shay holding her nutcracker a lady came and told me I had to take the camera to coat check or risk having it confiscated. I just put it in my purse and as we were leaving Santa was kind enough to let us take a picture with him.

*Christmas Eve*

What would Christmas Eve be without a little Karaoke and dancing?


And of course you have to open some presents!




Hilda was feeling a little left out so she went in search of her gift on her own.

And my favorite gift of the evening was this one given to me from Britton.

He is such a good kid!

Tyler (the talented man that he is) wrote music and lyrics for a Christmas song that the kids performed for everyone.

And here is a couple of pictures with Shayna and Great Grandma Donna. I could not resist putting these up.


And what would Christmas Eve be without alcohol?


And without the alcohol you can't have the hangover Christmas morning.

GOOD TIMES. I can't believe I don't have a picture of Ty. He was hurting worse then this if you can believe it.....I just laughed! I am proud to say that Ty made it through the opening of gifts and he even made everyone breakfast. Too bad we didn't see him again until about 3:00 that afternoon.

Here are some pictures of all the loot before the chaos of opening began.

And random pictures of the opening.






The kids were so much fun this year. They were so excited about everything they got. I hope next year will be just as FUN! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! I decided not to take pictures of everything that we got this year. It was just too much. I didn't feel like organizing it all. Thank you Mom and Dad for everything you guys are the best!!
