Christmas Celebrations

Okay, okay, okay. So I am a bit behind on the picture uploading segment of my blog. I am one of those who assuages Christmas RIGHT after its over. Pull the decorations down, get everything put away and move on with life! It will be back in a year. I love Christmas, but a month is plenty long enough. Especially when I work retail and have to listen to "The Little Drummer Boy" forty seven times in three weeks... BUT I figured these pictures are worth throwing up here, just so you can catch a glimpse of my Christmas celebrating. So forgive me for posting a Christmas post in mid-January....
Also keep in mind these are not the best quality pictures. They were taken on my parents dinosaur camera.
Every Christmas and New Years morning we have waffles with cream and jam on them. These are my two neices having a little tasting test of the homemade cream. I guess they decided it was good because we had to all but pry those from their hands...

Avary, trying to break the pieces of the glass nativity. Or maybe just looking at Baby Jesus as my dad read the story from Luke. Either one.

Me, on Christmas morning. Yes, I know. Its a horrifying sight. I just thought I would throw this picture up to prove to you that my family is supporting my twilight addiction by buying me the books for Christmas.

By way of explaining this picture, I am giving you a little taste of what happens when my mom and her brother get in weird moods... I think this picture pretty much wraps it up.

This picture was taken as my dad read the Christmas story from the Bible. Jaxon sat and dutifully listened, while the girls Lily and Avary were off attempting to break the pieces of the glass nativity...

This picture was taken during the wonderful present wrapping session on Christmas morning, which explains why everyone looks absolutely horrible. Jaxon decided to hand out everyones presents to them this year... Santa Claus dressed in Spiderman pajamas? I would also like to say that my brother does not always have glowing eyes, like I said, dinosaur camera...

Christmas morning hugs between cousins, what is better than that?! Oh, I know! Christmas morning hugs between cousins in brand new Christmas pajamas and with flowers in their hair!

Daniel and I on Christmas Eve, just before we got our trashes kicked in a kereoke sing-off with my sister and her husband. Its no biggie. I lost an ipod, but I bought myself a new one about a week later. (You dont have to feel bad anymore, Em :))
