Christmas

This Christmas was so much fun with all my boys! I had to work Chirstmas eve, so when I got home around 7 in the morning Santa had already come to the house. Noone was awake yet so of course I was way excited I went and woke everyone up! Elias slept in our bedroom, so I went and woke Daddy and Elias up first. We all went to wake up Jax next and found the first thing Santa brought, BUNK BEDS!!! Elias had so much fun climbing up them and Jumping on them!!

About a month before Christmas we were walking through Walmart and Elias saw a Mac truck with tailor and Lightning McQueen on top, he asked for it every day! Santa pulled through last minute and got that truck. Elias was so excited he almost didn't want to open anything else! He also got a remote control truck with trailor, a giant tiger stuffed animal. Lots of choo choo trains and a Leapster with penguins game and toy story game!

Jax was so tired from all the excitement Christmas morning, he took an early nap. We fed him bottle and we put him to bed, when I layed him down he was biting the bottle and it stuck in his mouth so we had to snap the picture before taking it out! ha ha! Jax got a giant frog stuffed animal, a night time see horse that lights up and sings, a zebra walking scooter thing (so cute!), trains and lots of other cute toys!
Jax also got a blow up penguin that sings and and you can hit and bounces back. He saw it and started crying and screaming hystericaly, it was so sad! I guess that he has a fear of penguins! Everytime he saw it the rest of the night he would cry!

Wenesday before Christmas Uncle Dan came into town. So Uncle Dan, Uncle Jed, Grams and our family took Front runner to SLC, ate dinner at Tocanos and walked around temple square. It was so much fun and not to cold.

The Draney annual cookie baking day was a great success! Grandma D, Lynne, Mom and I all get together every year and bake cookies all day! It is so fun to see what new ideas we have and to eat the fruits of our labor! Hopefully if you see one of us this holiday season you will be able to enjoy it too!

We had an awesome Thanksgiving this year! We were able to have the entire Draney clan, minus Grandpa D, we missed you terribly on this holiday I remeber it being one of his favorites! We were still able to have Grandma D's good cooking! Wehad the best food and our new house was perfect we set up tables in the front room that were big enough for everyone to be at the same table! It has been a long time that we have been able to have Thanksgiving together, or even at the same table! It is so amazing to all of us kids grown up and with our own kids. I remeber being at Grandma and Grandpa D's house every year for Thanksgiving, it was nice to give Grandma a break and let me do the hosting this year. We had a craft table set up for the kids, and a yummy dessert table followed by a Rockband rock out!
