The Early Santa "Bud and Eileen Mitcheltree" Delivery...
The last few years we were able to spend Christmas day in Indy with Steve's side of the family, but due to Steve's work schedule, we were not able to make it this year. A few days before Christmas, Bud and Eileen made a quick stop to our house to deliver their presents for us and to pick up our presents to them. They always do way too much but I do have to say we had lots of fun opening everything. Jacob loved all his new outfits and toys and we had so much fun opening them with him...thanks grandma Eileen and grandpa Bud!

Christmas Eve
It is family tradition that my mom and dad host Christmas Eve. We have been celebrating at their place since I can remember and we look forward to it every year and couldn't imagine it any different. They always have their house so festive with great christmas decorations and of course great food! Grandma Joyce was able to be with us this year which we were all thankful for. Grandma and grandpa Chapek were also able to make it this year and we were also very thankful to be able to celebrate with them. We visited, ate, and opened lots of presents. We are very blessed to have such a wonderful family. It is so much fun having lots of kids in our family especially this time of year. It gives Christmas a whole new meaning...
Christmas Morning
Since we were in our own house this Christmas morning we wanted to start a new tradition so Steve decided to make biscuits and gravy. When we woke up we enjoyed delicious biscuits and gravy made by Steve. We then went downstairs and opened presents that Santa Claus and grandma and grandpa Mitcheltree delivered. Needless to say, we must of been very good this year :) We had a lot of fun opening presents with Jacob and even the dogs got some presents. Jacob wasn't too much into opening the presents but he loved playing with the toys once they were opened. Even with the rain outside, it still felt like Christmas!Please enjoy the slide show below...

Christmas Day at the Rivera's
We spent the rest of our Christmas day over at the Rivera's house. It has also become a tradition to have Christmas at thier house. They prepared so much wonderful food as alwasys. We had deep fried turkey, ham, prime rib and of course tons of sides and desserts! We also got to meet the newest addition of the Rivera family...Holly! Holly is the cutest little kitten and had quite a scary adventure her first day in her new home. I am sure Holly learned her lesson not to jump from very high places!
Here is a picture of Holly...
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
