Every Christmas Eve we have our traditional Draayer Family party with all of my mom's extended side of the family. We eat and then play games. The candy bar game is hard for the little kids seeing all the candy strewn across the floor. As you can see Noah throwing a fit on the floor in front of all of it. Santa usually makes a visit, but this year I guess he was busy.
Christmas morning we spent with Carson's family in Alpine. We exchange names for gifts with all of his brother's and sisters and open presents. We had a tasty breakfast afterwards. Then we actually went paint balling in the afternoon in the field across the street from their house. I had never been before and was pretty fun.
The boys got an awesome wagon from David & Kristi which will be fun to have once the warm weather comes. Although, Noah has been putting it to use right now-he likes to lay in it while watching movies.
Christmas night we spent with my family. Ate again, opened presents and ate some more. The boys got cute Nike sweat suit outfits from my parents, and some fun books, new pajamas and ornaments they will get every year to add to their tree.
The next morning on the 26th is when we had our *family* Christmas because we had to stay in Alpine on Christmas Eve. (That is why the boys are in 2 different outfits in the pictures.) It was kind of weird but I guess the boys don't know any different. Noah loved his Geo Trax Train Set, and Madden's ball popper. I never can tell what he is going to like. Afterwards we had our Breakfast Casserole which was tradition in my family. It was a great day we didn't have to rush out the door after opening presents, and had a wonderful relaxing day playing with toys and watching movies.
We had a great Christmas-we are so blessed as a family. We are so grateful for our Savior, his birth and his life.
