Christmas Eve & Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve morning was spent doing our first ANNUAL Dunroe family fun run.  Yep, Sean came up with it.  We all took shifts running.  Sean started with his run, then he and Tay did a little over a 1/2 mile for their leg.  I did my run next, then took Rylee on her leg and Sean and Jayson finished it up.  It was awesome!  The kids did so good running.

Christmas Eve was spent at Shelly & Mike's home this year and instead of a dinner we did appetizers and they were good! We had a huge variety and everything was yum. After we ate we opened presents.  It was a nice relaxing evening which I loved!

It was a fun evening and the kids had a blast playing with their cousins.  

  Afterwards we came home and opened one more present-- p.j's for everyone!

Of course the grown-up's had to get new p.j.'s too! HAHA.. I love it!!

 

We were happy to have Julie and Grandma join us for Christmas! 

After p.j's were on all the kids went to bed!

I laughed so hard at this thing Tayler left for Santa.  She had a note all typed up to leave by the cookies.  She also made Santa a pop-up picture and left the rest of the reindeer food for him to give to them (she also sprinkled a lot on our lawn).  I loved it!!  The funniest was that she left a pen so he could write her back.. which he did!  No more just cookies and milk.  Tay takes it to a whole new level!

Christmas morning started about 7:30.  Rylee was the first one up (shocking!).  She had already perused all the presents when she came into our room.  She told us everything that each person had received from Santa.  That's my girl!  I remember sneaking down as a little girl because I loved looking at all the presents Santa had left us when it was still dark and only the Christmas tree & railing lights were on.  It was magical.  I love that Rylee did that too!

I didn't take a whole bunch of pictures but here are some. I think it is safe to say that everyone was happy!

Tayler and Rylee got a Karoke machine! 

Jackson and Jayson enjoying the new Geo Trax airport.

After the kids looked and played with all the gifts Santa had left we ate breakfast and then went and opened up all the other presents under the tree.  Good times!!

We had a wonderful Christmas!  After we played a little bit more, we got dressed and went to see the new Narnia movie: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Everyone did great & really liked the movie, except Jackson.  He wasn't really into the movie.  He fell asleep the minute we got into the car when it was over.. little stinker.  

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas as well!!  Loves to you all.
