McCorristin Christmas!

Christmas always comes early at the McCorristin household, which is awesome! Ryan's family knows that everyone has different plans on Christmas and Christmas Eve, so they've done "Christmas" the Sunday before Christmas for the past 5 years, so everyone can get together, eat food and exchange our Christmas gifts. I love it!

Before anyone else arrived, we helped Josh wrap his gift. We had about an hour, so we decided to wrap it interestingly. We put the gifts in a huge box and instead of wrapping it, we cut wrapping paper into Tetris shapes and taped them to the top of the box, here's the finished product! It's pretty much awesome!

We had an awesome dinner, then Grandpa McCorristin told the kids why we give each other presents on Christmas, followed by everyone exchanging their Christmas gifts! Sarah and Chance had us and gave us an awesome Gift Card to Chili's and two tickets to Cinemark Movie Theatres! Looks like Ryan and I will be going on a date sometime soon! Woot! Thanks again Sarah and Chance! 
Emma playing with Sawyer, she looks like she's trying to push him over.
Then she looks totally innocent in the next picture. Love it!

All the Grand-kids, I didn't get a picture where all the kids were still, but they're cuties!

 I didn't get a picture of the Calendar, but Chelsie made Judy(Ryan's Mom) a Calendar with everyone's Birthday's and Anniversary's and it turned out awesome!

Another awesome gift that was given to Ryan's parents were homemade stalkings! One tradition that Ryan's family does is that Judy makes all her grand-kids and son/daughter-in-laws personal stalkings that are so cute! Here's mine and Ryan's.
Ryan's Grandma made his for him.
Ryan's Mom, Judy, made this for me!
So everyone in the family has these homemade stalkings and we all love them, yet Ryan's parents never had any of them made for them. Judy still makes them for everyone else, yet she has never done one for herself, so this year, Kara made them for Judy and Mark! It was awesome!
The stalkings all match now!
Marks stalking!

As for the McCorristin Christmas we had a lot of fun and love spending time with family!
