Nephew #9, and Merry Christmas

My big brother Colby and his wife Marsha had their 5th baby on Monday. Alexander James Gull is my 9th nephew. He is very cute and I can hardly wait to meet him. Congratulations Marsha and Colby!
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I know we did. Jercie told me that Santa brought her everything she asked for. Good job Santa!!! We did Christmas Eve dinner at my mom's house. We had ham and potatoes and veggies. It was super good. On Christmas morning I woke up at 4:30 thinking that soon a little girl would come in to wake me up. Nobody showed so I went back to sleep. Kaia woke up at about 7 so I got up with her. I called my mom to let her know I was going to be waking the kids up soon. As I was talking to her Jercie came in the kitchen. She just kind of looked at me. I said "Merry Christmas!" It was then that her face lit up and she ran into the living room. I told her she had to wait til I got Blaze and Daddy up. I went in and woke Blaze up. He takes after me and is not a morning person so he was a little mad, until I said "Santa came!" He sat up and said " AWSOME!!" I went and got Mike up. I tried to start some coffee for him but couldn't get the coffee maker to work. So I asked my mom to bring some up for him. When he got up he tried as well. Soon the smell of coffee was coming from the kitchen. Mike came in the living room and said Tonia you had the crock pot plugged in. OOPS!!! I was tired. Anyway the kids had fun and I let them eat all the candy they wanted all day. Jercie got a scooter and Blaze got a train. They love them. Jercie rides the scooter all over the place. Kaia just wanted to suck on the wrapping paper! I made prime rib for dinner and it was sooooo good. I was a little worried that it wouldn't be good and we had to nuke it a little but it was good. My mom told me that she hadn't had better in any restaurant. That made me feel good. Well here are some pictures.
