Byers Christmas Dec. 26th

So the strep throat fiasco messed-up our Christmas schedule, but Corey and I actually loved it, the schedule/not the strep. We were home alot and everyone came to us. We were home all Christmas Day- meaning that we didn't go to Carl and Sharon's or up to the Dalles to Sandy and John's; instead we were all here Christmas Day enjoying family (and NEW TOYS!!)

Now on the 26th, John and Sandy came down to do Christmas with us. Everyone was now NOT contagious, but they were all still under the weather. Grant was the closest to being on the mend!

Here are our Christmas angels.....
First were the gifts from Aunt Shannon and Uncle Cody, and Auntie Ashley!

Gabe was being a pill/weird about openning his gifts. Shy and didn't like the attention, but came off RUDE, so yes- he was hauled off by Daddy and spanked. Nice way to start off your day Gabriel..... knuckle-head!

They all got pajamas- Lightning McQueen for Gabriel, Thomas the Train for Gavin and Grant!

Here is Grant:

All he wants for Christmas is GABE'S NEW SHIRT! ;)

Here is Gavin trying on his new shirt. If he looks sad and like he is crying, well that is because he is. The CRAZY neck was TIGHT and I about ripped his poor ears off. I felt awful. Poor thing. Well and yes, then I had to take it off~ No better. Tears again.... ahh.....

Here is Gabe with his PAPA John. They were adorable snuggled up reading Gabe's new books he received for Christmas.

Here is Grant reassuring Ma'z that NO, he doesn't want to try on HIS new shirt. He wants to wear Gabe's. Gabe says he can "just have it." Nice manners this morning. WHAT??!!??

Gavin wants in on the snuggle story time too!

Grant saying/yelling THANK YOU with bear hugs. Yes~ he is starting to feel better!

My new shirt from John and Sandy. I love it and am wearing it as I post this!! :) Thanks.

Karen.... slouching.... tired from kids crying and not sleeping through the night.

Grant joins story time!

Book is over!! One more gift for all of the boys to open!

SHOES.... world's cutest shoes!!!!

Here are Gavin's new shoes! He LOVED them and wouldn't take them off. Much better than the shirt! :) I love pedipeds. They are the best shoes!!!! Look at him model them!!!

Here are Gabriel's new shoes/boots. They are stunning and he loves that he can get them on and off ALL BY HIS SELF!! What a big boy!

Ahh.... I goofed. I thought that this was Grant modeling his new shoes. He is being silly with Ma'z boots. Grant's were my favorite, almost like Gavin's, just slightly different.

Oh well, these were so generous and amazing. Thank you John and Sandy, we love you guys!

Corey showing off his motorcycle ornaments that Sandy gets him every year!

Merry Christmas 2009!
