Christmas at The Mitchell's!

We had such a great Christmas this year! Every year on Christmas Eve my grandma and grandpa rent a building at the fair grounds. We eat, play games, and just have lots of fun enjoying each others company. We also do white elephant gifts and laugh and laugh every year at the funny things everyone comes up with! We love it and the kids think it's pretty funny too! Then of course the kids get to open their new Christmas jammies, which is always fun!
Joni's gift was the funniest...a sweet hat with magnifying glasses...hilarious!


Jason and David got into a wrestling match, it was pretty funny! I'm sure if you ask David who won, he would say he did and if you ask Jason who won, he would FOR SURE say he did!! LOL! If you ask me, it was a tie!

I almost forgot to post a picture of these scrmuptious rolls Rachel and I made! They really were quite tasty if I do say so myself!! :)

I decided every year on Christmas Eve that Chandler and I would give the kids an ornament of their favorite character for that year! McKall got Tinkerbell and Wyatt of course got Toy Story! It turned out cute and the kids were excited and got to pick their own special place for them on the tree.
When we put out the cookies and milk for santa, Wyatt got mad cause he wanted to eat the cookies. He wouldn't even get in the picture cause he said, "no does are my cookies!" When he noticed the plate Christmas morning he got mad again and said, "Ahhhh, santa ate my cookies!" He is quite the kid, I'll tell you what!

The kids got spoiled this year, like always, and loved every single minute of it! I love to see their faces when they walk into the front room and see all the presents wrapped. McKall wasn't sure what to do, she was just super excited! Wyatt started jumping up and down saying, "HOLWEE COW!" It was the cutest thing ever. Our video camera has been acting up lately so we didn't get it on video, DANGIT!!
Chandler and I gave McKall a Cricket Doll and Wyatt a sweet Buzz Light Year! Cricket is so CUTE! I got one for Christmas when I was 7. Ya she is vintage for sure! You put tapes in her back and she tells stories and her eyes and mouth move...so CUTE! I LOVED her so much, she was my best friend. We got her on e-bay and she works great! When she came (all the way from England) Chandler pulled her out and I started crying...I know I'm a baby :( but it was so special to me and I couldn't wait to give her to McKall. She loves her and loves listening to the tapes and seeing her talk. Wyatt's Buzz has the utility belt and everything...he loves it! Chandler said he wanted to find something for Wyatt from his childhood but there really wasn't anything we could think of. Buzz is pretty dang cool!

Of course we cant forget about Max! He got a cute little hoodie and a soft blanket. He looks so dang cute in his hoodie and now his tiny little body can stay warm...

After all our presents were open we got dressed and went to Rachel Meggan's for breakfast...my favorite!! We had yummy waffles and lots of other yummy stuff! Then we opened gifts from my mom and dad. The kids got gift cards to Walmart and they cant wait to go spend them! The adults got new garments, something that Chandler and I were in much need of.
To end the fun Christmas weekend, everyone came over on Sunday to visit. Bart, Louise and their family came and Mitch brought his guitar. He's a dang good singer and I always get teary eyed...I love it! When I heard him play for the first time I was pregnant with McKall and had a good excuse as to why I was crying but now, like I said before, I'm just a cry baby. McKall loved it too! Her and Wyatt got cute little guitars for Christmas. McKall had Wyatt's guitar and was trying to be like Mitch! He sang a song called Cheese Burger in Paradise. Now she walks around the house singing, "Cheese Burger Paradise," and playing her guitar...it's pretty funny!

The kids were pretty worn out by the time it was all over and all they wanted to do was eat popcorn and watch "Little Rascals!" I dont think they even made it past a couple bites of popcorn and the previews.

I love spending time with family and having everyone over to our cute little home! We had a great Christmas and I cant believe how fast it came and went! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too! THE END
