A Stone Christmas, 2011

All of these Christmas memories almost didn't happen. My SD card on my phone crashed, and all the Christmas pictures and memories were gone. I was so upset. Thank goodness for an awesome hubby who found a program to get them all back. Phew! Christmas was so great this year. We had a lot of fun at parties and enjoying time with family and friends. We try really hard to remind our kids what the real meaning of the season is. It is easy to get caught up in all the hustle and bustle and forget. It is always fun to enjoy all the fun that comes along with the season though, too. This is the first year Makoy has been REALLY into it. He woke us up at 3 AM on Christmas morning. He told me that his legs hurt, and if we could just open presents now, it would help them feel better. Quite the story, but it didn't work. He was sent back to bed. ;) Here are some pictures of our Christmas season.

The annual sister Christmas party. Five sisters and our five little girls we had, all close in age.

The annual Christmas Eve party at my parents house. We are getting quite the loot of kids, and this pic is short three of them. Channing's face cracks me up.

My attempt at getting a picture of both of the kids in their new jammies resulted in...one kid.

Sweet kiddos
I love how enthusiastic Koy looks, who understands what is happening, vs Channing, who just wants to go back to bed.

Such a fun age! Love how excited he was, love him.
Sweet baby, clueless to what all the fuss is about.
Koy, patiently waiting to dig in.
He had a total spaz out moment when he saw Channing got him a football.


More gifts...

He is so big! How does it happen so fast?
She loves to color on walls or whatever she can find. Glad Santa brought her this.
