G-L Family Chirstmas.

this year we treated Christmas eve as our little family's actual Christmas. we got up Christmas eve morning and opened presents and i even cooked a Christmas dinner. i made my first ever turkey. it came out so well i had to take a picture of it.after we ate. we decorated cookies for friends, that we later delivered. the batch did not make as much as i was hoping so if you are reading this and did not get any, i'm sorry. ;0(however i must say that these cookies were wonderful. i got this recipe from a friend. well i know her through her husband and her blog, we have never met, but it seems like we have. ;0)
we spent Christmas morning with garrans parents and his sister who was here with her family from Alabama. here is grandpa, christmas morning, pulling double duty with alex and briea.briea got her first stroller. it was so cute. she even got a baby from us to put in it.
here is kael with a train. no big surprise. it was actually alex (his cousin) train, but he was nice and let kael play.here is alex, chewing on a nerf gun dart.here are haley and cullan. haley really loved cullan. she kept referring to him as her boyfriend. it was very funny. we all laughed about it. then michaela had to explain to her why we don't date our cousins.here is julia playing with some dolls she got.i am not sure what kael is doing here. i just thought it was cute enough to put on here.i found this last picture as i was going through and trying to decide which ones to post. i just could not help it. look at those pretty blue eyes and big chunky cheeks. i love it.
