Our "MERRY and BRIGHT" Christmas

Keaton on Christmas morning at about 7 am. I guess he didn't know that he was supposed to wake up real early in anticipation of his presents from Santa! We had to wake him up. :)

This year was my family's turn to have us for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. And, as you can tell, Santa surely came.

Here is our little family's pile of presents. Keaton's is the biggest. :)

My mom got the little kids this cute "home for the holidays" doll house. Although, I think me and my sisters loved it way more than the little kids did! Oh boy!

Keaton and daddy opening up Keaton's presents...

Rockin' Elmo! Just what Keaton wanted. :)

Keaton is obsessed with Elmo these days and just loved his new dancing and singing Elmo!

I couldn't get a great picture of him lookin' like he loves it... but, believe me he was dancin' with Elmo like crazy all morning!

Keaton's present from Aunt BreAnne. This hat she crocheted for him looks sooo cute on him! I sure wish he would wear it for longer than 2 seconds...

Here is Keaton after church with my family. It has been a long day for him already... can ya tell? But, he sure does look cute in the stylin' new church clothes that my mom gave all the little boys. :)

Keaton and Grandma Patsy at the Craythorne family Christmas dinner/party. He was just wiped out by this time... ready for the nap that he wasn't going to get. Poor boy! But, he sure did love cuddling with Grandma and soon enough he was sound asleep in her arms. Too bad we had to wake him up about 20 minutes later!

Because, of course, Keaton couldn't miss skyping with his uncle Curtis!

 This isn't a great picture, but it was so fun and exciting to not only be able to hear Curtis, but also to see him too! He is loving every second of his mission and is out there in South Carolina being such a great missionary!

Grandpa and Keaton- still super tired.

But, after talking to Elder Norman it was time to head back to my parents house to talk to Elder Adams. Talon only has less than 2 months left until he comes home (although, he might not admit that...) and it was great and weird to talk to him knowing that we will see him in a couple short months. This picture is of Keaton and Lexi playing with Keaton's new Fisher Price Zoo while we talked to Talon on the phone.

We had such a great Christmas this year. And, as always, it went by much too quickly! The holidays are always filled with so much happiness, love, and magic and I always hate to see it all end, but Justin, Keaton, and I all had a great time celebrating the birth of our Savior amidst all the parties, movies, games, food, and just all the quality time spent with those we love the most.
