Christmas and New Years

New Years Eve-
Well this year we weren't feeling too up to doing anything big and luckily Ryan and Rachel were thinking the same thing, so this New Years Eve consisted of us four playing board games, eating delicious donuts, lots of pop, tons of candy, listening to music (some good, some bad), and a good time! We did however stop our game playing to watch the countdown and say our Happy New Years to each other. It was nice and a stress free way of celebrating it. I do think however that I gained some weight from that and many other junk food nights that week.

Steven trying to beat Scramble on his Ipod, which he did,and he was very proud!

Happy New Year!!

CHRISTMAS TIME-
We had the opportunity to go see the Christmas lights with Steven's bro and his family. I was excited that they invited us because I was just telling Steven how we hadn't had the chance to go look at any lights. So we went one night with Ryan and Rachel and it turned out to be a fun night. At the end of the lights Ryan decided to get all of us gutter tacos..which if you haven't tried them, you are missing out! But they were delicious as always, and Steven even admitted they were good.


Cold but happy baby! He LOVED the lights and would stare at all of them..he wouldn't stop chatting.
Our cute little family :)

CHRISTMAS EVE-
 We spent Christmas Eve doing our usual which consists of spending the evening with my family. I love Christmas Eve and we always have fun.  This year was a little different because we had a few extra people at the house..Steven's Mom came which was fun (Steven's Dad couldn't come because he just had surgery), we also had my parents neighbors come (well some times neighbors, this is their "winter" home.. ha ha) Anyway, Gary my parents neighbor brought over his guitar and played some Christmas music for all of us and we also got to sing along. We had some delicious pizza for dinner and we played the $5 present game. It was a nice night and always fun to spend time with the family.

CHRISTMAS MORNING-
 This year we changed our Christmas routine a little because we have a fun little boy to share it with. We woke up about 8am and opened our presents. Then we went to Steven's families house and spent time with his family as well as opened presents..at around 11am we went to my parents and ate the usually delicious brunch..and then opened presents there. After that we were all so exhausted that we took a nice 3 hr nap. After the nice nap we headed back over to Steven's families house to play some games.
Korbin and Steven's stockings layed with care.
Korbin with some of his Christmas presents. Spoiled kid!
"Thanks Mommy for all the wonderful presents!"
Steven's parents house..Steven's Dad was not able to be within 15 ft of kids, so he was sentenced to the corner..kind of sad, but he seemed to be a good sport about it.
Our sweet new sports cups.
Just the start at the Shaw household.
