By far the funniest part of Christmas this year was the Christmas Jammie Competition with the Brown Family.
A little history: Every year as kids my mom would buy Christmas Pajamas that were matching, not just the PJ's but the socks, slippers, undies, bathrobes, etc. They were full on outfits. She would buy them for anyone who happened to be celebrating Christmas with us that year.
This year Shanna suggested that each one of us put together the best Christmas PJ outfit, model it and do a little dance, to compete for a trophy to be past down each Christmas. Well some how it turned into a G rated Strip tease that had us rolling on the floor. Here are a few of the outfits that weren't blurry from us laughing so hard.
Matt was this years champion but he deleted the evidence lets just say it was unlike anything you have seen before!
Fried turkey and of course Pop Pops Christmas bread. It was a relaxing and fun day with the fam playing David's new Wii and hanging out.
Christmas morning and Eva with her princesses. Jeremy and I carried on his families tradition of a huge Mexican feast on Christmas Eve. We had ping pong championships, and ate until we were stuffed with spicy goodness!!
Eva posing it up, Oscar in his new clothes from Grandma, and my dear friend Sara and her new baby Sadie. Isn't she a doll!!
I got to go to my first Bronco's game EVER!! It was such an experience!! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO RACHEL AND MICHAEL!! It was the Bronco's and Raider's game and they lost but it was still really fun to go! It was a blast to hang with the girls!! I love these ladies!
We celebrated Jeremy's birthday with his family at Claim Jumper. His mom Dianna and brother Chris flew in and Reid, Ryan and Lindsey drove up from Woodland. It was a great birthday, we are so thankful for our family. Then on Jeremy's real bday he had breakfast in bed, opened some cool presents, then we went to Avatar 3D and dinner. It was super fun to celebrate my sweet hubby!

Earlier that day we celebrated Christmas at our house with Jeremy's family. It was overwhelming to open so many thoughtful gifts and share the holiday together. We had a really nice visit with Dianna and got to show her our new house.
We also went to my work party and threw a cookie decorating party for my class. Here is a picture of my sweet teammate Allison and her daughter Aspen at the party. Allison and I are yoga buddies and have become fast friends. She is the best! Aspen is an amazing little lady and has been so fun to hang with!
We also had the big family party at Grandmommy's house this year and it was amazing to see how fast all the little ones are growing!! It was a great time to reconnect and support each other. Our hearts were heavy for our sweet cousin Valarie who is fighting Leukemia and her family. There weren't enough words or prayers that could be said for her and how much we love her.
This year and always we feel the importance of living life right now and not delaying, giving and serving, being present to the moment, and cherishing our irreplaceable relationships with friends and family. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
