Christmas Eve EXTRAVAGANZA

Oh Christmas Eve... The night before the guy in the big red suit comes to bring the good little boys and girls toys... Before we can start all that business tho, we must spend time with our family... ALL of them. So after Jarrod worked 1/2 day we were off to Hood River to make our rounds! We are so lucky and very blessed that we have so many people to see over the holidays. So here is a little run down of our Christmas Eve EXTRAVAGANZA...

First Stop... Grammie and Grandpa Jeff's house

We had a small Christmas up at my mom's house. Grammie thought it would be fun for Brayden to open most of his presents from them on Christmas day at our house... But in true Grammie and Aunt Rachel fashion they had a few more under the tree as well. We took a few family shots... but I must say Jarrod isn't the best photographer (sorry babe), but at least he tries :) Brayden had such a fun time with the kick-start of Christmas Eve! 

Next Stop... Grandma and Grandpa Fogle's house 

Boy does this boy get spoiled... and I mean spoiled. He got so many fun things while opening presents over here. From books to clothes, money for his college fund to toys and legos! He always has fun while we visit over there and was so excited to show off all his fun things. 

FINAL stop... Grandpa Gary and Great Grandma Carol's house

So... before you keep going and think I'm a horrible mom because there are almost no pictures of Brayden at this event... It's because there was the cutest boxer puppy named Ali. I couldn't stop playing with her and I probably took a million pictures of her. Now, back to the rest of the night we had such a great time eating our traditional Pietro's Pizza, eating Grandma's famous sugar cookies and unwrapping gifts. We have been doing this on Christmas eve for at least the last 18 years. So much fun and can you believe how CUTE this puppy is? 

Next Stop... Santa's visit to our house!! 

Stay Tuned!

Things have been crazy busy around the Fogle house... but I'm working on getting Christmas posts up... stay tuned!

Christmas on Papa Craig's Ranch

To this day Brayden still talks about the first time he got to ride horses at Papa Craig's Ranch. So when Mari-Beth and Alyssa (who always go above and beyond for these little ones) were saying they had presents for them, we thought it would be a good idea to do it at Papa Craig and Grammie Mary's ranch. It was so much fun and Brayden had a permanent grin from ear to ear on his face. 

After we got done riding the horses we headed inside to open gifts for the little ones. Mari-Beth and Alyssa got them the cutest PJ's EVER! The kids had so much fun and I hope this becomes a tradition from here on out... and just think how fun it will be when Mari-Beth and Alyssa start adding kid-o's to the bunch! We truly are blessed with amazing friends and family around us, it's rare having such good friends since you were 15 years old :)
