I loved this picture cause, well, these are my kids! It struck me that they look so old and so complete! This is our family! 
Hailey, Tanner and Trey! They are all so old too! I can't believe how fast the time goes! Our girls will be in YW before we know it and the boys will be in scouts! (If I let them...we all know how I feel about scouts!:)
Coming down the hall to see what Santa brought!
Juliet got a new rocking chair! She LOVES it! She sits in it and slouches down and rocks herself with her tip toes. She doesn't like to share her chair!
It goes along with her thinking she is so big and important! Santa knew her too well!
She got another book on Animals that she is very serious about! (Someone should comb that babies hairy!)
She also got a baby doll that she loves to hug and hit!
Max did get a DSi. I think it was the letter he wrote to Santa in his best penmanship that he would take really good care of it!
Darby got a DSi and an art kit! She was very excited because she couldn't decide if she wanted a DSi or a camera. The DSi has a camera in it! Too much fun! (Mrs Santa was saying maybe next year. Santa is a sucker for both of them!)
Dash finally got his pink DS! The case looks black but that is what you get when Santa gets things on ebay! (Santa knew that one day Pink would not be his favorite color any more but he is very wise to know that he has a little sister!)
Oh the glories of Christmas morning! Nothing to do but play play play! (you can see all the toys in the back of Max, they came from the Thomas'! They were getting rid of baby toys so Juliet got Christmas early! Santa only brought her books and her chair!)
Daddy helping with the new Ds.
Everyone was in spread out all over connected to the plugs so they could play their new toys!
Juliet had to relax a bit and watch her new animal dvd from her sister!
Brandon wishing his mom a Merry Christmas and apologizing that her gift was found under our tree! (oops)
Christmas day before we went to the Cannon's for dinner! 
We had a great Christmas and felt very blessed! It is one of our favorite times of the year. It is steeped in traditions and filled with the Spirit! We love it!
This year all the pj bottoms were made out of fleece! SO cozy! Dash's were monkey jammies. Max were G.I. Joe (camo, or Gee Jy Joe if you say it like Dash). Darby's were pink with frogs all over and Juliet's matched hers. Brandon got 2 pair because we know he is my mom's favorite. I got a pair of Footie p.j.'s. NOT PRETTY! They were not long enough for my tall body and that is all we are going to say about that!
Juliet in her cute p.j.s! She is looking at the book Darby got her! It came with a dvd about animals and she watches it all the time now! Dash got Max a millennium falcon galactic heroes star wars thing! Max freaked out because it was AMAZING! (Dash had help picking that out) Juliet got Daddy teeth whitening strips. (B and I always wanted to try them but could never justify 20$....so Juliet sprung for it this time....they were pretty cool and they work!) I got Darby the 2009 Ripley's Book. (She collects them.) Brandon got Dash a puppet making kit! Too much fun! And Max got me vibrating foot massaging slippers! The Best gift ever! I love this new Tradition. Everyone had so much fun buying for each other and feeling like they had found the most special gift! It saved me buying a bunch of trash at the dollar store so that every one has a gift from each other! We will for sure keep this tradition!
Again with the faces! Jefford's are famous for face making. (There is usually a noise that goes with the face so you have to take the picture quick if you are in a public place!) They learn at a very young age!
As wives of Jefford's you have to be able to hang with the big dogs! I think these pretty ladies can hang!
Again with the faces! It really is non-stop, it's a wonder we ever get any serious shots!
Brandon's sister Wendy sent gifts for each family! She sent us movie packages with popcorn and treats! We got Fiddler on the Roof! SO much fun! (I sent their gift to the mailing place she sent her gifts from....good one! It was the address on the box, who knew? Her gift is still on my counter with my mom's Birthday gift and B's mom's Christmas gift that was under our tree...then lost and repurchased.....I am not the best at mailing things!)
Jamie modeled a pair of sunglasses they gave to Chance! I actually liked them....on me!
Dash wanted a remote control car like Curtis got for his birthday, and a pink DS and a camera.
Juliet wanted off this old dude's lap!
They primary did a program and the achievement day girls sang Silent Night with bells!
I don't remember what the boys sang but it was super cute to see Max reach for the high notes!
Dash usually stands there and makes faces or tries to distract others but this time he actually sang!
We never take pictures of the 2 of us. I am getting better at taking them myself though!
She is such a daddies girl! When she is with him she pretends to be WAY bigger than she is! You can tell that she thinks she is sooooo big here!
Family photo! 
If I did Christmas cards this would be our picture! (Even though Darby has total "tude" cause she wants to go play with her friends!
Grandpa Carter reading to one of Nick's nieces! My grandpa is soooo patient and LOVES his grandkids and great grandkids. I love when they are just starting to walk he holds their hands and will walk with them forever! He taught me how to snap and whistle! (I think I was under 4!)
Granny and Gramps! I got to live with them before I married B! They were really patient with me and I will never forget it! My granny is strong and smart! She can crochet like a mad woman and she taught me how! I don't think I will ever be as good as her though. She makes the best Christmas candy and when ever I call I feel like I am the person she was dying to hear from! I am sure she sounds like that to everyone but I love the way she makes me feel!
Ryeley and Malorie! (Mal is Nick's sister!)
Nick and Rye! 
It's exhausting being his sister!
I know Nick will be a GREAT missionary! Can't wait to post pictures of his homecoming!
