Christmas 2013

Christmas was great this year. The past three years we've been out in Nevada, on our own for Christmas. Well, last year we were in Nevada, but not alone since Grammy and Pappy came for the arrival of Lillian.  Being in Colorado made for a busy Christmas, but that was because we were able to spend time with all of our family for the holidays and it was wonderful

We started out by going over to Grandma and Grandpa Alldredge's for Christmas Eve. It was nice relaxing evening with dinner, a couple of presents and some sweet rolls and hot cocoa.  After dinner we went home and put the kids to bed so Santa could come. Christmas morning came and Lilly and I woke up nice and early. She snacked on Christmas Cap'n Crunch while waited for everyone else to wake up. Eventually Greg came down, but Timmy was still passed out a sleep. Since we needed to time to get ready to head to the Brink Family Breakfast we had to wake up Timmy so we could see what Santa brought.  He wasn't too happy to be woken up so he wasn't very interested in the presents.  Santa stuffed our stockings and brought Timmy a tricycle and Lilly a rocking horse.  Next we headed over to my Grandma and Grandpa Brink's for Christmas breakfast with all of the aunts and uncles and cousins...everyone.  It was nice to see everyone too, since we haven't been to Christmas breakfast for a few years. After breakfast we headed over to Grammy's and Pappy's to open presents and eat dinner. Timmy and Lilly sure had a ton of presents to love. If we didn't know it before we definitely now it now, these kids sure are loved.

I think she likes it

Grumpy Timmy wasn't excited about the trike so he kept pushing it back under the tree

Lilly was a little more interested in the trike than Timmy
