This was a picture of My mom, Charisse, Gina & I last Christmas (Scary).
This is a picture of Gina, my Mom, Delaina and I this year. Holy cow what a difference one year makes :-)
Keely all tired out after opening her Christmas presents
Jacey, Mara, Keely and I opening our presents
Jacey loved/loves her new Barbie Jeep. Now if she could only figure out how to drive it :-)
We were very lucky this year. Not only did Santa show up to our family Christmas eve party, he drove by our house on his motorcycle :-)
Every year on Christmas eve the Skousen's get together for a big party. For as long as I can remember we have had this Christmas eve party (at least 30 plus years). It used to be at Grandma Skousen's then as the Skousen clan grew bigger it moved to Marilyn & Max's and the past year or two we've had it at Gina and Jackson's. I was in charge of this years program and festivities. We enjoyed musical numbers from Jamie & Tyler and Kenneth and Garrett, watched the nativity story put out by the church and had a special guest visitor. Needless to say, the young and the old enjoyed their visit from Santa :-)
Grandma Skousen and Santa
Keely & Santa. Keely turned 4 months old recently. At her 4 month check up she weighed in at a whopping 15lbs 13oz and was 25.75 inches long. She also had/has a double ear infection :0 I had no idea because she is such a good baby and still continues to sleep in until 9am every morning. Keely's first tooth broke through on Christmas eve. I've known she was teething and have been waiting anxiously for the dang tooth to just come in already. I noticed it when she started screaming uncontrollably during the party. Poor baby :-( She is such a joy to have around and Jacey just adores her little sister. As you can see, so does Santa :-)
Mrs. Claus and Santa :-)
Jacey loved seeing Santa even though this picture shows otherwise. She just kept staring and staring at him.
As stated in a previous post, we decided to have family pictures taken this year while everyone was in town. We had them taken by Kacey.
The Mason clan :-) 
The Skousen siblings:

She did such a great job and was so good with the kids. It takes a lot of patience to deal with a group so big and so many crazy kiddos. The picture below is the only one out of 100+ pictures where Jacey was smiling. As you'll see below, she was a holy terror :-(
