Christmas 2008



Well Christmas has finally come and gone and a New Year has begun!!!  Christmas was pretty good to us this year.  My brother Ricky was able to come from Los Angeles and Ryan's sister was able to make it from San Diego!  So we had a great Christmas!  

Well the Russert's traditional Christmas Eve didn't happen this year cause of all the snow!  This year we were supposed to go out to my dad's sisters house in Mesa, but because there was so much snow we didn't.  So instead we just stayed home.  Well..... me, Kaden and Kohen did!  Ryan was not so fortunate this year, he had to work Christmas Eve night and Christmas day night.  Bummer!! :-)  Anyway, my brother Ricky stayed the night with us Christmas Eve and I think he and Kaden stayed up for awhile playing Wii.  I kept telling Kaden Santa won't come if your awake!  So finally at about 11:30 he fell asleep!  Ryan got home a 7a Christmas morning and woke the boys up.  And guess what?!?!?! Santa came!  Kaden was so excited and Kohen not so much since he was still half asleep.  Kaden was very happy with all his gifts and so was Kohen, still a little to young to get the whole concept.  Anyway, we all go ready and went to Ryan's Dads for Christmas breakfast and to open presents!  The boys were spoiled as usual.   Came home to drop some stuff off and pick up my brother and headed to my parents house.  We opened presents and had our traditional Christmas dinner.  Prime Rib!!! Yummy! :-)  We finally went home completely exhausted and the boys fell asleep in the car.  But our Christmas isn't over yet!  The day after Christmas Ryan is finally off and we decided to have Dinner and open presents at Ryan's moms house.  More presents......the boys were thrilled!  So December 26th our Christmas finally ended!  Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a wonderful time!!!  

I hope everyone of you had a wonderful Christmas too!!!
