Crazy Christmas.

Well, Christmas was a blast.

I figured it would be.

We spent Christmas Eve with Lee's family at
 Aunt Tammy and Duanes.

We had food, conversation and LOTS of presents.

We even brought Bentlee, and he became
pretty popular with the kids.

They couldn't get enough of him.

This year was little Miss Sydney's 1st Christmas.

We were all pretty amazed at how much she was actually into it.

She was fun to watch.

--------------------

Our kids were thrilled when they found out

that they had a "Secret Santa."

They both got DSi's...

...and their reactions were priceless.

------------------

Duane was of course wearing his silly Santa hat that sings.

And, I even caught Lester wearing this.

Ha~Ha!!

---------------------

We had a great time spending the evening with family.

Afterall, that is what Christmas is all about.

------------------

We woke the next morning with the kids

 to find that Santa had stopped by.

Bentlee wouldn't leave Layton alone.

I got this picture of the little "ankle biter."

We spent the rest of the morning opening things

 from the night before.

They both got guitars from

Grandpa & Grandma Frakes.

This is one of my FAVORITES of our

someday "soon-to-be" rockstar.

---------------
My parents came over around noon, for pizza and presents, and

these are just a few of the things that the kids got Christmas day.

Lets just put it this way:

They are SET till next year.

------------------

So, after all of the stress, excitement, and anticipation.

It came & went &

It was a great Christmas.

This picture of Bentlee is the perfect one to describe

 EXACTLY how I feel afterwards though...
