Every year on Chrismas morning, it is a tradition that Travis and I put baby Jesus in our manger becuase it is his special day!
After that we started opening Santa presents...our stocking always get so full that he places them on the floor in such a cute arrangement!
Travis and I always get very usefull things from Santa, and this year they were things we could use at college! This year each got Apples to Apples, Dominoes, and Catch Phrase...those are always fun to do with the friends! We also got atomic clock/temperature gauges so we know what the weather will be like...and the usual chapstick, nail clippers, and the good old cash (that is always nice to use going out with friends at school)!
Us with our games...I never look very good on Christmas morning...
Here is a picture of the Boldischar family...unfortunatly we didn't get other family pictures for me to put on here.
At the Loeffler's we played games and took lots of pictures. I felt like we were in a photo shoot. So here are pictures of all the families:
The four of us!
The Loefflers - there are always so many cameras...that not everyone is looking in the same direction...Cassie in particular =)
The Montgomery's
The Schwartz's
FUNNY COUSIN POSE! We are all so goofy when we get together...I love you guys...I couldn't ask for greater cousins!
All the grandkids with Grandma and Grandpa!
...and the two that started it all...Thanks for being such awesome grandparents...I always enjoy your company!
This year we decided to just have the cousins buy gifts for each other to save money. What we did was each buy a gift card to any store and play the dice game. Once everyone had a card...we opened them and set the timer for 7 minutes and each time a double was rolled...you could steal someone elses prize...surprisingly, the biggest hit was the $25 cash! It was going all over the place. It was so much fun that we are probably going to do it next year!
All of us girl cousins...we always need cute pictures!
...and another...what a cute bunch of girls!

After presents, we all got ready and went over to the Grandparent Wishy's house for cinnamon rolls and Kringle. We stayed until about 2 o'clock. There we got to visit with everyone and open gifts. It always gets so crowded in the small living room and is oven very over-stimulating! Usually we would eat Christmas dinner with them, but the past few years we have to double our duties and go to my dad's side as well...so that is what we did.

Later that evening, all of us cousins went to go ice skating. It was my first time out this year and was a blast. Hopefully I will continue to get use out of my newly sharpened skates!
Well that was my busy Christmas day. I hope you had fun enjoying all the wonderful pictures! Pictures are my favorite part of this blog becuase like they always say, "A picture is worth a thousand words!"
P.S. For those of you who have been out of town (MOM) be sure to look at the previous blog of Christmas Eve. Sometimes it is hard to miss once I post again. In a few days I will post again with pictures from last weekend with the KC Wishy's at the cabin!
