CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas 2011!!!

This year on Christmas EVE~EVE, we drove up to Little Cottonwood Canyon for our traditional Vandersteen party! (mom's side) We always have a BIG EAT and have lots of visiting with lots of great cousins.

Aaron just couldn't take these pictures seriously! Silly boy!
All the adults visited in one room.....
While some of the kids watched movies!
The dogs even were a big hit!
But Grandpa Chickensteen is the biggest hit of all! Love him!
Christmas EVE!!! The McClellan side of the family always celebrates together for Christmas eve. We also have a BIG EAT....and this year we played a KILLER game of FAMILY FEUD!

The Tony McClellan family against...
The Walter Fiefia family!
Cody and Katie were the HOSTS!
FEUDING!

The Lee Family combined with the Jaggi Family~ against the Kent McClellan family and the Aaron McClellan clan!

And who won TEN 100 GRAND candy bars??? (equaling it to a MILLION!!??!)

THE AARON/KENT McClellan FAMILIES!!! YAY!

A very fun and festive Christmas EVE with family!

That very night.....SANTA came and visited our home!
A kiss under the mistletoe as well..... ;)

CHRISTMAS DAY 2011~!!!!!!

Santa did indeed stop by a few gifts!! The boys were soooooo EXCITED!!

Davin was most excited about his CANDY CANE in his stocking! The only thing he asked Santa for this year! :) What a sweet little boy.
What could this be? TATE was quite the speed unwrapper this year.
Candy cane in mouth while opening packages! SILLY!
Finally towards the end....TATE got what he has been wanting and asking for.......
.......MR. ROBOT!!!
All morning he was a HIT~! Thank goodness!
With DAVIN as well!
Davin got a SUPER fun RACETRACK that was a hit all morning as well!
Daddy prepped a MEAN Christmas breakfast! YUM!!
It was then time to pack up and drive down south to NATHAN TYLER'S baby blessing! He looked so sweet in his little outfit along side uncle Tom! We ate some snacks, but not too much.....
......cuz then it was time for the THOMAS SMITH family Christmas dinner!

Lovely Christmas ham with the fam!!!
The kid table...
We then packed up and drove home just in time for some needed rest! The Christmas season is super BUSY going here and there....and EVERYWHERE it seems....but so worth it to be with those we love! FAMILY!!

Three days after Christmas we had the Brent Barfuss Christmas party! The only time in the holiday season to get all the family together. Believe it or not...I forgot the camera! I never do! We had a lovely dinner, had a testimony meeting, fish pond....gift giving! Super fun!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS & MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

It sounds like you guys had a merry Christmas Charee. Love that your little guy only asked for a candy cane what a sweetheart. I am so glad Santa didn't let him down with that one!
