Christmas

we had a wonderful Christmas with our families. we spent Christmas eve at adam's grandparents house. it was fun to catch up with with his family. many of his cousins and their wives were there, along with his aunts and uncles, his sister and her family, his grandparents and his mom.

jake and eli had an ultimate duel. the end of the fighting came when eli did a flying kick, which was him running down the hall, jumping and side kicking with both feet, then landing on his side on the ground. i missed it, but the cousins said it was quite the move.

here are the cousins

eli and lyla with great grandpa clyde

on Christmas day we had breakfast and opened presents with adam's dad and ellen. here is grandpa scott giving eli a hug after receiving a gift from us...

eli and cousin jake

we were then off to my grandma/pa hobb's house for presents with my family. it is always crazy there, and a lot of fun. i really enjoyed visiting with my cousins and family.

haily and lyla enjoying there new kitchen accessories...thanks aunt twylla!

eli got a knight set from my grandma, it was the hit of the day (and week). the kids played with that set all day for 2 or 3 days. here eli desplays the sward and ax. lyla is sporting the sweater and gloves grandma hobb gave her.

shane, clark, eli and isabelle. notice isabelle holding the ax, ready to chop.

papa with lyla and her new swimming doll, which totally freaks her out. i put it in the tub and she says, "nooooo, nooooooo," as she pushes it away. i'll have to try again when she's a little older.

and lastly, a few days later we opened gifts and jesse's house. hailey got a robe from my parents...lyla liked it too.

good times!
