Christmas With The Stansberry's

This year Christmas with my family was celebrated a couple of days early! Wednesday was the night we could all be there for dinner and for presents. I wish I would have gotten a full picture of us at the table. My Aunt Diana was able to join us with her roommate. It was so special to have them there. We don't get to see much of my dad's family anymore and having my Aunt there for Christmas was a special treat.

My dad and sister made a perfectly wonderful dinner!! They splurged on a Prime Rib that was delish! My sister made the best sweet potato casserole that the two little ones even got to enjoy. Then I added in a scrumptious and ever-so traditional green bean casserole and then to top it off, Twice Baked potatoes!! yummy!!

After dinner, it was all about the presents! Thomas could hardly wait!! We were certainly spoiled this year. Thank you mom and dad!!

The guys think they have to get these boys ready for some serious playtime.

All the men together!! Now I just have to remember to get one of all of us! And to think, poor dad use to be outnumbered... things sure have changed!! It's 3 to six now. My sister better add some girls to this mix!!
My family! Poor Jared is falling asleep, Thomas couldn't stop laughing and Benjamin and I were ready to go!

Benjamin dove right into the gifts. He loved the ribbon!

He's a natural present opener. He looked like he knew what he was doing. It was pretty cute!

Thomas dug right into the gifts. It's so much fun seeing him experience all of this. Can you tell this was after a chocolate cookie. I really have to be more on top of keeping his face clean!


Grammy and Papa with my kiddos!
Thank you family for such a wonderful Christmas celebration. Thank you mom and dad for raising us to know the true meaning of Christmas and showing us the love that was given to us on that first Christmas morning!
