Jason's birthday

Sunday, December 27th was Jason's birthday.

After church around 2:00 pm Jason and Nichole dropped Stephanie and Justin off at our house so they could go see Sherlock Holmes.

Jason and Nichole came back after we ate dinner. We hung out for a while till Jason opened presents and we had cake.

Then he opened presents.

Stephanie is trying on the gloves that Jason got.

That picture is a little dark. The movie he's holding is Phantom of the Opera.

I know these videos seem kind of long because not much is happening in them. But it takes too long to edit them and make them shorter, so you guys can skip ahead if you'd like.

The cake we had was Mississippi Mud Cake. All 3 boys always pick that cake every year. It is like eating a lot of fudge so it's too sweet for me to eat a lot of it. It is good though.

After cake and presents Jason, Ben, and I played the game Jason made called Ciq. He has changed the rules like, 4 times lol. Kacia has played it before, but it's different now so I have to teach her the new way.

Justin loved it when Jeff was playing with him like that. They were doing that for about 7 minutes, it was really cute.

This video is very boring. But in the beginning it shows how we deal cards out and it's cool how we do it. You can watch the whole video if you want, but we're just sitting there doing nothing while we wait for Jason lol.

We played a couple of rounds of Ciq, and I like it better with the new rules than before.

Jason went home after that.

Two birthday's after Christmas lol. That's a lot of presents, and sweets. But it's fun =)

Sis. Shannon's birthday

Today around 3:00 some of us celebrated her birthday at Bro. Don's house. She opened some presents, then we had cake. I don't know what kind of cake it was, but it had coconut and cream cheese frosting. It was good, especially the frosting.

She got a bread maker, and we gave her a little basket with some food and coffee type stuff, along with some candles and a card that we made for her. And Carson got this little Dinosaur book. I didn't get a video or picture of it, but it made this little noise like it was roaring or something. Sis. Shannon loved it and laughed everytime it made that noise. I don't remember if she got anything else.

We sang Happy Birthday to her after cake and presents, which is a little backwards lol. I got a video of it, it was interesting. Don't have the sound on too high while we sing because when we go high, the sound sounds bad.

I don't know why I was swaying the camera. Sorry for that lol.

That's a weird date on the picture, it says 2007/01/14 lol. (Andrea's camera, no wonder)

Sorry that picture of Sis. Valerie and Carson is a little dark.

Carson's face is all squished haha. It's cute.

This is a cute picture too =)

There, I got Bro. Steve this time =D

I was going to take a picture of just Bryan, then Stephanie jumped in, and it made the picture really cute.

I'm glad we got to go it was fun.

Christmas

On Christmas Eve Andrea and Jeff spent the night at our house. Actually, Jeff had to work that night at 10:00 till 6:00 am on Christmas day.

Here's our tree. (My dad took almost all of these pictures)

My mom collects those little houses and people and turns it into a village.

For breakfast we had eggs, cinnamon rolls, and toaster strudels.

Matt has 2 cinnamon rolls, some eggs, and a toaster strudel and he's grabbing Ben's cinnamon roll.

Ben's stuffing two cinnamon rolls in his mouth.

And I have nothing...

We got our parents a card table with 4 chairs. Andrea knew that if she wrapped the box then they would probably guess what it was, so she put up those sheets that you see in the picture so they wouldn't know what it was.

After we ate breakfast Jason, Nichole, and the kids came over to open presents with us.

My dad wanted a spice rack and some spices.

That book is Mary Had a Little Lamb, in case you couldn't read it.

She's hugging my mom's leg lol.

That is a fairy. At Sis. Shannon's birthday party Bro. Steve asked Andrea what she got for Christmas and when she said "fairy" he was like, "you got a fairy for Christmas?" and she said it was a statue and he's like, "well it just sounds weird, I got a fairy for Christmas" and him and my dad were joking around and saying something like they went to Neverland and got Tinkerbell for Andrea, "here Andrea, I got you a fairy."

My mom was opening the box for the Sit and Spin and when she looked up she saw Justin standing up looking inside the box. She was like, "whoa! I didn't even see him!" lol.

We got this game from Kacia, thanks buddy!

We have more pictures but this is long enough. Except I did get these shirts.

I also got those slippers. They're really cool =D

After we opened presents we had our dinner. Then I called Bro. Steve around 8:00 pm and told him what I got for Christmas. On Christmas Eve we went to their house and he told me and Ben to call him and tell him what we got because he wanted to be the first to know. After that Matt and I called Kacia to thank her for the game. Ben said hi to her too.

It was a nice Christmas =) I hope it snows soon, cause I want to play in it =D
