~Priest-Sills take III~

We had such a good time. The kids got all kinds of great gifts. Family stayed Christmas eve we had all kinds of good food. My parents came, Darren's mom came with her foster daughter. My brother came so we had a house full. Uncle Harold came over later along with Nana and Papa Priest. It was so nice to have everyone here and celebrating. Cailan got me up at 4 a.m. and Darren went down and made us all coffee and I put the traditional cinnamon buns in the oven to cook while we opened gifts. Cailan was so excited to see her Roes Petal Cottage set up. She went right over to it and was checking it out. However when she went to turn the faucet on ..on her sink and nothing came out she looked at me and huffed and then ran down the hall way and started crying. Brandon went and got a little water to put in it and she was fine. Brandon got a lot of great stuff too. He is at that age where he knows what he wants ....gift cards, cash or stuff for his xbox 360 he got a lot of all of it. He got a really cool steering wheel that came with a gas and brake pedal from his Nana Mosher and John. He loved it. He also got a remote control plane from Nana and Papa Sills and he has played with that for two days straight and the batteries keep running ot of it. So all in all we had a AWSOME Christmas and we are so thankful for our family and friends that were able to celebrate it with us.

~The Priest-Sills Family Christmas~

~Priest Family Christmas~

We had such a good time. The kids had so much fun and they got all kinds of nice gifts. We started at Darren's dad house for our Priest family Christmas. It is so nice to be with family and give thanks for what we have. As you can see Cailan was at the stage where the boxes and wrapping paper were more amusing then the gifts were. She was so fun to watch this year as you can see.

~Merry Christmas~
