{CHRISTMAS IN KENNEY}
We went to my Mom & Dad's Christmas evening around 5:00. We were the first ones there! HELLO - it was a Christmas miracle because that never happens. Totten time is usually about 15 minutes slow.
Although, being the first ones there has it's downfall. I slipped getting out of the car - making sure that Rachel didn't slip. We were on the driveway, which has a bit of an incline, so it was like something out of Home Alone. In no time at all, I was flat on my back & cracked my head on the ground. Poor coordination + snow = bad combo. I felt slightly concussed. But my Dad checked my pupils & all was good I guess.
When we got there, my Mom (who just had foot surgery the end of October) was getting ready to shovel the walk & where we all would park. Jarrett took the shovel from her right away & worked outside for like a half hour. It was so funny, my Mom kept looking out the window & saying "We should stop him, I think he has cleared enough snow off." But neither of us told him...hahahaha! It was good for him.
We took our pictures by the tree.

With the 2010 plate - a tradition started by my Grandma & Grandpa. I was going to say that I don't know how many family pictures there are of us holding up paper plates with the year wrote on them in front of a Christmas tree...but that isn't true. There is one from EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
It was getting to be the Browns' turn. So someone yelled at AJ to get ready for his picture. Well he hopped right up on my lap - so we had to get one of the 5 of us. The funny thing is that he smiled better for the picture with us than with his. I love that kid!
Then all the crazy kids, well minus Chelsea, got in the picture with us.
The Browns
The Sturgeons
My Mom & Dad
Then onto the presents...
These brown-eyed girls melt my heart.
Miss Sassy Cassie & me
Sarah & Brad, well being Brad - what an expression.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful & joyous holiday. We certainly did.
