Justin and I have always celebrated Christmas on the 23rd (since 1999 when we started dating), and since Christmas Eve/Day are so busy with each of our families, we have continued to celebrate on the 23rd.
Jordyn was a little under the weather that day, but she perked up later in the afternoon when it was time to open gifts. She had a fever and tummy ache through the night and during the day so she stayed home from daycare on Friday with Justin and Jaxon while I worked. She was so excited to open presents though, so you can't tell in the pictures that she was sick. :)
The girls love to play the iPad, and Jayla is doing great with playing Jordyn's favorite games!
Jaxon slept through gift opening and supper!
Justin loves oakley gear! :) He should be good to go now since he got some from me and also from my parents!
Jayla loves her new guitar!
Two thumbs up for Jordyn's new bike!
The plan was that Justin was going to put the bike together during the day while he was home with Jaxon. Since Jordyn was sick and had to stay home, he was unable to do that! Assembly had to take place later! :)
Jaxon finally woke up, so the girls opened his gifts for him.
One of his gifts was a box of four books. Wouldn't you know it, the girls had the biggest meltdown over it. The girls didn't want to share the four books ... they each wanted to hold all four books (instead of them each getting just two) ...
The last couple of years we started making homemade pizzas when we celebrate Christmas. The girls love putting their own pepperoni pieces on their pizzas!
I have to share pictures of my gifts. Last year Justin and the girls surprised me with charms that had the girls' names and thumbprints on one side. We took Jaxon to do his last week, so I was able to add that to my necklace. I just love this necklace!!
This year Justin and the kids gave me a new bracelet with their names/birthstones. I just love The Vintage Pearl, which is wear this bracelet is from! It turned out great!
Finally, thanks to all of our wonderful family/friends who have sent Christmas cards this year. I LOVE getting the mail this time of year! :) Our doors are full of pictures!

Everytime I log in you make me feel guilty! How do you have time to update so much? I guess I have time....I am just being lazy. I can feel myself getting into a hole and have WWAAYY too much to blog about and have no idea where to start.
I love all the traditions you have started with your kids. You know they will always remember them. Loving the mini pizzas....that is something you can do always!
Hope you are enjoying your time off. There is nothing worse than the weeks between Christmas break and Spring break...feels like 6 months instead of 3. Do you get a spring break?
Happy New Year to you!
