Christmas Favorites

Here are just a few of my favorite Christmas Photos of the kids. Merry Christmas 2009!

Christmas Day!

Santa definately made it to the Broussard household this year. I'm beginning to think he may have had to purchase a second sleigh just to haul all of Jayden and Lauren's presents! This is the first year that Jayden truly anticipated Santa coming. He went to bed easily so that Santa could hurry up and make it to his house. I woke up to get my new camera ready and I guess he heard me roll out of bed. I peeked through his door and asked if he thought Santa had passed yet? He took off running down the hall! Santa brought him a skateboard with a ramp, a boxing bag with gloves, a car mat, a new saddle with rope, a yellow Transformer, and a Truck and horse trailor. We can not fail to mention the LSU helmet and uniform which he wore the entire day. Lauren woke up right after Jayden had finished going through all of his presents and Santa didnt leave her out. She got a new baby named Rosie, a baby stroller and pack and play, and a large doll house with all the furnishings. She also got a ride and go horse which of course was named peanut after the real outside horse. We celebrated Christmas Day with all of my family as well as Dave's sister Ann and his Mom. Davy cooked not one but two turkeys! We had plenty of food and enjoyed spending time with everyone. Nana, Pawpaw Cletus, Coby, Sheryl and Zach all stayed until the evening and everyone enjoyed a tournament of sorts with Zach's new hunting game that hooks up to the T.V. We are truly blessed to have family to share these memories with.

Christmas Eve

With so many photos to choose from I decided to break down Christmas into our different family celebrations. We always celebrate Christmas Eve with Davy's Dad and StepMom Mrs. Ellen. We usually have it at thier house but for the first time in at least 14 years the location has changed. ( I say 14 years because thats how long Davy and I have been together and we have celebrated every Christmas Eve at the Broussard's household!) This year they asked us to host it at our house. So we kept the traditional Gumbo menu and enjoyed a night with all of Davy's family. Christmas Eve was always a night Full of presents. This year the highlight seemed to be the fish that Aunt/Nanny Sissy gave as gifts. Jayden named his Nemo-T-Boy Broussard and Lauren named her's Dorie, although it sounds more like Dorothy! I got a new camera and lots of items to decorate my new kitchen with. Davy got everything hunting related. Jayden picked out a beautiful fountain for me and is so proud when I plug it in! Lauren got lots of furniture for a doll house that Santa will be bringing. They both went to bed in anticipation of Santa Claus passing that night! Jayden made sure to leave out cookies for him in hopes that Santa would leave one behind for him.....

Rush to the finish line!

We have been extra busy this holiday season, with hosting Thankgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and our New Years Party my husband decided in addition to all of this we were going to undergo a Kitchen "redo" I love the outcome and everyone has been asking us to post pics so here is the "finished" product!
