Christmas with FAMILY!

This year was so FUN! My brother Jake and his wife Arile and kids, Shelton, Reilly, and Jayden came and stayed with us. We thought it was going to a little tight but it really wasn't too bad... it was the most fun Christmas we've all had in a long time. Everyone chipped in with cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids! The spirit was definatly there... although the emconmy made Christmas hard all around including both of our families, we seemed to have it all during those amazing few days we spent together! Loads of laughs and games and a couple outings! We are going to HAVE to do this again! Julio and I are just going to have to build a huge house to accomidate the whole family! lol ;) Thanks Jake for coming... it was the BEST!! :) Here are a ton of pictures of Christmas morning...
