I am not even going to attempt to put these pictures in the order I would want them in to tell the perfect Christmas story!! There are just way to many!!!...and I don't have that kinda time (my OCD is freaking out right now but I am sure that eventually it will all be ok!) So I will label a few here and there and if you make it all the way through this crazy long post of Christmas pics....good on ya!!!
This is how we all felt after Christmas morning. It was a bout 2:00pm and I came into the living room and found Ty like this! The kids all woke up at 2:30am (which I found out later was becuz Ty woke them all up) They have a tradition that when they wake up they all hang out in one of the bedrooms till the approved and appropriate time to get mom and dad! How did that escape them this year?....cuz they all came in at 2:30 and wanted to go downstairs! NO was the answer!!! So they went to Kailee's room to hang out and finally at 5:30am I took pity on them and convinced Shawn to take pity too and get up!
These are the gifts from Aunt Alli and Uncle Johnny (making the appropriate Mia face!)
Grandma Sue sent gift cards and these are the things the kids bought with them
hats that Grandma Leanne made for each of the kids (she recognizes that we won't use them much here in Texas but the kids love them none the less and what a neat keepsake they will be!)
Grandpa John & Grandma Karen sent gift cards too and here is what they bought with them
the aftermath of Christmas morning
Bella got a toy too...but she destroyed it by the end of the day
on our way to our Christmas Eve dinner...this year we went to P.F.Changs, so yummy!! Every year we do a gift exchange within our family. We always try to do something different or have some kind of theme. This year everyone got $12.50 and had one hour to run through the mall and find the perfect gift! We didn't find out who we had till right when we left for the mall! It was really fun (just so crazy at the mall). Everyone found really great gifts for their person! We always exchange those gifts on Christmas Eve.
Kailee got a new straightener from mom
Shawn got a Longhorns licence plate thing and a keychain from Kailee
Tara got a necklace and bracelets from Kyler
Kyler got Darth Vader pj bottoms from Austin
Tyson got a salt lamp from dad
Austin got a beanie(that's reversible) from Tyson

This year I gave Shawn the new Ipod Nano and he gave me a night out with him to go shopping for a new outfit and dinner and a movie!!! Can't wait to go!
Dave Bleazard giving him some know-how! What a perfect thing for a bunch of 14-15 yr old boys to go do!!! 
I got a phone call during pictures...I said to hold on but they kept snappin' away 
me and Austin
I am only as tall as them cuz I have on my awesome red heels! (heels that are meant to be seen and looked at but not worn! they are fabulous but they come at a price!)
It was a crazy, busy but fun day! It started with me and Austin going to breakfast. (I usually go pick up the kids from school and take them out to lunch for the birthdays, but Austin had 5 tests that day so that was out!) So instead we went to Ihop for breakfast! We left at 6:00am, so we could get him to school on time! He got to open one gift before school which was a new outfit. Can you believe he wears the same length pants as Shawn now!! Then after school we went out to dinner! (yes after school at 4:00pm...it was a senior citzen type dinner!) It was so busy that night with other activities that we had to go that early. Austin chose Texas Roadhouse.
getting his 14 birthday spankings! 
everyone joined in on the fun!!!
almost every ornament (like 98%) has a meaning...which makes this tree so special! I really feel like when we look at it, it tells a story, a story about the Fullmers!
Every year we all get a new ornament...here are ours for this year
Kailee- a phone that says text me
Shawn- the grinch
A paino for a family one...cuz it looks just like ours!
Austin- a trombone
Kyler- Darth Vader (see how much I have grown...I let darth vader be on my tree!!!)
Tara- a cute shoe...every girl should have one
Tyson- a chef's apron
my village that I haven't set out in 6 years because I didn't have a place for it! This is only about half of it...but at least it's out. I made all these houses when Kailee and Austin were just little! It was theraputic to sit down and paint! I don't know if I could do it now!
the countdown to christmas that I made for the kids....each container has candy and a scripture about Jesus that we will read each night until christmas!
the kitchen table centerpiece
and last but certainly not least the mantle!!!
