We don't really have big traditions when it comes to Christmas, or Christmas Eve.
Some things stay constant, with a little twist.
New to this year was some bowling!
It's quite the crowd on Christmas Eve.
The constant, dinner at Cheesecake Factory!!
While we waited for our table we checked out Santa in the mall.
Della was the only brave one to stand for a picture!
We were missing Lane big time, but were so happy he was having zone conference
with Sawyer on his Christmas Eve!
Jesse and Kristen invited us over for Left, Right, Center!
No winners from our family, but still a good time.
Casey wasn't feeling the greatest at this point.
You can see it in his eyes.
You can see it in his eyes.
CHRISTMAS MORNING!!
3 happy kids.
Rusty is happy, he's just putting on image on of being a cool teenager.
See that smirk.
Santa gave him the Minky blanket he asked for!
Doc sandals with 3 straps!
Very specific, and VERY hard to find (per Santa) as they are from last season.
Smiles all around, and wrapping paper all around.
Poor Casey was officially sick.
He had a fever that lasted most of the rest of the week.
He spent Christmas day in bed.
Late lunch at my parents!
Grandpa cooking up his specialty, quesadillas!
A Christmas call from Lane!
Love that he got to wear a sweater.
The boys propped him up at the table with them while they ate.
Then moved on to utter chaos with the Goodman cousin gift exchange!
So many kids, it might be time to find something else to do soon.
They don't seem to mind waiting an hour
for their name to get called to receive their gift!
Watching the last Goodman 2025 recap video as Bre announced her retirement!
These videos are treasures, and Im thankful she has made the effort to make them
all of these years.
After some families trickled out we played a fun new game the Ellingson's brought, Hitster!
Claire and Lindi wearing the hot ticket item of the year- Lonely Ghost in camo!
Another Christmas and memories for a lifetime!
