Christmas 2011

 Eric was completely and totally spoiled for Christmas!! And so were we! We were blown away by how good our families were too us, they went way overboard, as always. :)

Helping Grandma Fullmer open presents

Why are we doing this over and over again? I just opened the last one for you!

 We went to church with my family and it was so great! Eric looked so cute in his new church outfit, which I forgot to take a picture of, and was such a good boy. Then we came back to eat some yummy breakfast quiche and examine our loot.

Getting teased by uncle Dillon putting a girl hat on him. It also might have been he was jealous of Dillon's long, thick hair.

The traditional coming down the stairs to see what Santa brought

Posing in his sweet new monkey backpack-he knows he's cool

This one is from....

My gorgeous sisters Meg and Madi

New shoes!

He LOVED his new giraffe pillow pet

I love that cowlick-his little hair is always like that

 Afterwards, we went over to Nana Manuel's house for even more fun toys! Eric didn't know what to do with himself!

He loves this ball and plays with it almost every day!

Eric loves his Nana!

Hooray for presents! Especially new clothes!

 

 

 

 

 

Me with my brothers Andrew and Dillon in our fancy new hoodies

 We had a crazy, fun-filled, wonderful day and were so grateful to be able to spend it with our families.

Fullmer Christmas Eve Party

 Every year Tanner's Grandma and Grandpa Fullmer host an annual Christmas Eve party. We talk, laugh, eat lots of yummy food like ham and cheesy potatoes with Tanner's mom's amazing rolls, watch the kids do a nativity play (which I lamely forgot to take a picture of) while Aly reads Luke 2, listen to his grandparents read the Christmas story-parallel with the crucifixion-it makes me cry every time, play games, and open Christmas jammies for the kiddos. Aly, I know you're just cringing at that run-on sentence right, probably just threw up a little, but I'm too lazy to fix it. Aly is an English major/whiz/genius, for those of you who didn't know.

All three Fullmer grandkids (so far..), Eric, Noelle, and Mikey

Decked out in his swell Christmas onesie

I just love Eric's hammy face in this one

He looks so much like Tanner sometimes, it just makes me laugh

Cute cousin Mikey, what a chub!

Eric LOVED Aunt Aly-and still does. So, I should say LOVES Aunt Aly

All the babies-can you believe Mikey is 5 months YOUNGER than Eric?? I thought Eric was big!

Eric, Mikey, Brinlee, and Avery

Mikey is always happy!

Huh???

Noelle and her second cousin(?) Alivia

Rockin' their new Christmas jammies from Grandma Fullmer

Santa bum

Fullmers always wear super cool ugly sweaters for Christmas parties! Dad's lights up! If you look closely at Tanner's you'll see where he glued bells on his-he did a little shimmy dance for us before the party that had us all cracking up and a little weirded out

Getting loves from Noelle

Taylor was full of hot expressions that night

Eric was oblivious to the weirdness going on..

Tay hijacked our camera-as punishment, I posted the proof

my personal favorite

Had to get a shot with Mitt! (Grandpa Fullmer really likes Mitt Romney)

 Of course blogger put these all out of order, but here they are. We had a great time, it was wonderful to see all the extended Fullmer family!
