First Christmas

Christmas Eve


Christmas Eve was spent at Grandpa Jim's house. The evening started with a "Fear Factor" style challenge for the boys, Colton and Josh ( Addy's brother and cousin). Uncle Jim bought holiday flavored soda and attached money in an envelope to each bottle totaling twenty-five dollars. The boys had to drink half the bottle in order to keep the cash. The catch is that these sodas have the following flavors;
turkey & gravy, dinner roll, pea, sweet potato, and antacid

It was enough to turn your stomach just watching but the boys were up to the challenge and walked away with full wallets.


Next came the gift exchange and the passing of the baby!

Christmas Morning at Home

Addy got a couple of books from Mom and Dad,

a crib toy from Santa, and she could not have been any less interested!

John and I bought each other the same CD! Great minds think alike.

The dogs were not left out this year. Santa brought them each a stocking full of toys and after an hour Queen Dolly had claimed all of them as her own.

For lunch we joined the whole Hein clan at Grandpa Jim's again.
We closed out the day remembering Grandma Millie.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Can't wait till next year!
