Peyton Family Christmas!

Mike missed this year family Christmas because he was in Vegas....I'm never the same without him. I was a little down so I didn't take as many pictures as I normally do! We had a nice time.

Opening chaos....all the presents are passed out at once and everyone opens:( not sure who had who for secret Santa and my kids LOVED their gifts!

June, me and Tammy.....a few of us at least got a picture together=)

The dog must think I'm cute...he is STARING=)

Animal and Nativity Scene!

I still don't know why the reason we ever did this growing up....but we would have to act out an animal and the family would have to guess what we are...so of course I had to carry that tradition on......
Tyler the ant eaterme a driving penguin! The rest of the family I have on video!

We then sit down and read from the bible about the birth of Jesus Christ and the importance of each person in the Nativity.

Feel and Guess the Nativity Scene character........

Grandma Jo's Box!!!

The kids always look forward to a big box at Christmas......because it ALWAYS come filled with FOAM PEANUTS!!!! I allow them to play in them for a while but as them TO TRY TO KEEP THEM IN THE BOX......forget it if there is any static electricity going on they will be everywhere!!

Now they have to wait for Christmas for the many wonderful gifts Grandma and Grandpa sent=)

Tyler's First Meet of the Season!

Oh boy here we go....Tyler was extremely sick the day before his meet....he was nervous since it was a qualifying meet for State and he had to place. I made him take a bite of his peanut butter/banana sandwich every 5 minutes on our way to Simi Valley!

Here are some of the boys watching the younger level 5 boys!

TYLER DID AWESOME!!!! I was so nervous to see if he would place....and HE DID!!!!
He got first on the floor and vault. Third on the parallel bars, and fourth on rings and high bars. and SECOND all around!! LOVE IT, he did GREAT!!
