Choose Joy... Family

This post is going to be picture heavy. Sometimes pics are the best way to tell a "story". These are all from yesterday, just a few (lol) of my favs that I wanted to share. Even though we are on an extremely tight budget, the kids didn't even seem to realize there wasn't as much to open as "normal". They all said it was a GREAT Christmas. Anyway, my joy comes from my family, both immediate & extended. Without further ado, here is a "recap" of our day...

Roo asked for 3 things for Christmas... "Tinterbell" movie, more "people" & a new "baby", here she is with her new "people"...

Santa brought the boys the newest RockBand (cause the original that we have isn't good enough anymore lol)...
D's new "Lake Show" shirt...
Ok, this was so funny, C-Man wanted to give something to Dad, since we didn't have the $ to let the boys actually buy something for us, he went & grabbed Daddy's wallet & wrapped it up (in a Target bag) & gave it to him.
One of the games Santa brought the boys...
"TINTERBELL"...
C-Man checkin out the hat he got from Gammy & Papa (which he later traded with Dad...)
Bonez modeling the jeans he got from Gammy & papa...
Some of the gang at the Family Christmas party...

Just hangin out...
Bubs with his new Beckham soccer jersey & shorts...
Roo in her new outfit (check out the shoes) & her "Tink"...
Ok, these crack me up, Roo got a new book & kept insisting G'ma & G'pa read to her, it was hilarious! 

G'ma's turn...
Are these not the coolest shoes ever?!  Thanks "O" for picking them out!
We had a GREAT Christmas, I hope you did as well
