Better late then never on getting our Christmas photos up! See our Estes Park Christmas adventure {
HERE}. Christmas day was so fun waking up late, having an awesome breakfast and hanging out in our PJ's opening gifts. We took the day very easy and just enjoyed one anothers company. Before I go in to all the photos I want to say that we are SO thankful to have had such a wonderful Christmas, blessed to be able to purchase gifts and thankful for the gifts we received. I am one lucky girl to have such an awesome family!!

We start every year with the dogs and their gifts. Frankie being the angel loud mouth that he is needs to have a toy to "suckle" on to get him through the excitement. Lucy just is along for the ride and likes all the attention she gets as she is opening gifts.

As you can see Frankie's licker was out as he was getting anxious |

This is the hurry up mom, lets get this party started lick |

Obsessing over something |

Finally Settled |
Frankie thinks that it is his Dachshund right to have multiple toys and gets jealous if he is not the center of attention. It made for some hilarious photos and good laughs.

Next was my mom's turn to open gifts. She adopted two Dachshund's right after Chrsitmas the adoption fee was our Christmas treat to her. She was sad that she was picking them up after the cabin trip but we all had a great time talking about them and guessing what type of personalities they would have and how cute they would be. We got her some other small gifts as well.

Brad can be a tough one for Christmas as his birthday is November 24th being so close to Christmas. Usually you can carrie on the same "theme" (oh he will hate that I said that word) for both occasions. His list of goodies included...
* A new wallet
*
Ralph Laurin Polo sweater, he saw this on many Bronco's Players that he follows on Instagram and just HAD to have it. His obsession with the Bronco's get
a little lot creepy sometimes.
* Subscription to
Dollar Shave Club of the month (Awesome man gift and so cost reasonable)
* Bronco's beanie
* Bronco's work out shorts (my mom and I had to strip a manikin to get these, no joke!)
*
Gentleman's Jack by good old Jack Daniel
* Tons of fishing lures, poppers, frogs, jigs, crank baits and soft plastics from
Tackle Warehouse
AND... drum roll...
*
A new iPhone 5
The bummer with the iPhone was that I could not actually buy him the new phone with out them deactivating his old phone. I had to make up a special certificate to show him what the gift was. He was super surprised and the Apple Store was our first stop when we got back into town. He is in LOVE with his new finger print (really?) iPhone 5.
