Today is kind of an exciting day for us. We are closing on our house. As of next month we are moving to a 15 year loan! I am nervous, but so very excited! Our kids are not going to be out of the house by the time we own it! Wahoo!!
In other news Elena said the dinner prayer the other night. It was the cutest thing. I started out and waited for her to talk. She did! She would “repeat” what I said. So cute. I wish you all could have been there. She is awesome at folding her arms and listening when we pray.
Now on to pictures… After church we opened presents. (Jason wanted to get more comfortable and got into his pj’s) Elena got a lot fo help from the kids opening her presents…
Sierra was actually very excited for the Lion King!
Jason was thrilled to get a nerf gun!
Hey look at that. Will and Jason can now have nerf gun fights. I know I am the best 
Grandma opening up her traditional dollar store gift. This year she got a bath pillow. 
Grandpa now is opening up his dollar store gift. Haha! Airhorn! Side note: Last year he bought all of the grandkids, Yes I said grand kids, these. Sierra was 3 years old running around blasting the airhorn. And let me tell you they are very loud and last for about 15-20 minutes. We called grandpa when the kids were using them last year… Our neighbors probably thought we were crazy!
Elena, enjoying her very large pillow pet!
We had to test out the new guns!
Jason, Uncle Preston is winning. 
Then we did the usual Christmas tradition of watching a few of our Christmas movies. (In style this year)
Christmas Eve was spent making dinner and enjoying it with my Grandparents (Bragg) and Carolyn. It was a great dinner. We even had the chance to do a little crafting and make some feather earrings. Super easy and fun. I think it was a fun day all around!

Those pictures were much more flattering… I like how half of ya’ll are in Pj’s some are in church clothes and some are in casual clothes. Awesome. I thought Christmas on Sunday was great! It meant Matt got another day off afterwards too which was perfect…

It is a tradition at our home to get dollar store gifts for everyone in the family. What fun! We have had the arihorn before…I think I ‘accidentally’ lost it.
