Christmas Day

We had such a wonderful Christmas day!!! We awoke at my parents house and all headed over to Natalie and Stephen's to see what Santa brought Bennett...in our PJ's... all except Ben... he dressed up in his new Santa suit so that Bennett could get a visit from him on Christmas morning... I think Bennett will be going back to Mothers Day Out bragging that he got a visit from Santa and the other kids didn't...
Then we went back home, took showers, ate a scrumptious breakfast called "brunch eggs", & after Nat Steve & B got there, we did Setzler family Christmas present opening!!! Santa was very good to us this year! Ben and I get to pick out some new Patio Furniture for our backyard which we are really excited about!! We also got lots of other goodies! We didn't take many pictures there, but here is Bennett opening his gift from us (the Bug Band!).
After that, we loaded up and headed over to the Kennemer's beach house for that side Christmas celebration! Mr. Don, Ms. LeJean, Will, & Adam waited for us to get there for the festivities to begin! When we got there, Ben got a brand new 4wheeler!!
After everyone took a spin we all headed inside to open presents! Santa was incredibly generous again! We both got some clothes and other goodies and I got my dream... A NEW CAMERA!!!! Now I will be spending lots of time learning how to use all the features correctly, rather than just auto mode!
We went for a long ride on the 4wheelers, and then came back to the house for yummy Christmas dinner (we actually skipped lunch but I'm pretty glad we did so we weren't overly stuffed like usual on the holidays). We watched movies and spent the night at the beach after the long long celebratory day of Jesus' birth. We have such incredible, loving, close families that we are extremely grateful for. I don't know how we got so blessed but we had such an incredible Christmas surrounded by those we love most! I hope that everyone else had a fantastic Christmas as well all look forward to the New Year!
