Christmas Day

Merry Christmas!



Ready to see what is under the tree!


Evie was concerned they didn't eat it all

After Braylen's initial outburst over his bike, the gift opening commenced.

Too bad the Eagles aren't in the playoffs...

Kiki has an upgraded ride

Braylen was very impatient excited to open all his gifts

 The "big" gifts were bikes this year



This big girl is ready for the big bike!


And Braylen is ready for a bike

After some short lived playing with their new stuff....


...We packed it up for G and Poppop's house!

It's a stay in your pajamas kind of day.
Safety first!

I was shocked by the self-discipline of Cole and Hannah; all the gifts were still wrapped under the tree when we arrived around 10:45.  Once we were there though... let it begin!

Maybe we should just ask for money towards an
orthodontist instead of gifts!

Gifts, gifts, everywhere!

How I wish those were our My Little Ponies...
they are the 1980's version though ;)

Toaster Oven to stay at G and Poppop's house

Cole's fort

Another year worth of "G and Poppop's Grandkids"
Gosh those books are a lot of work  leading up to Dec 20th,
but they are worth my time.  We are on volume 3.

Gifts, wrapping paper, toys, squeals of delight, 5 pieces of egg casserole, playing with new toys, sweatpants, egg nog, laying around, and my family in my childhood home: that about wraps up the day.  It was low key and delightful.  

The kids got a ton of great gifts!  There was one gift the adults really enjoyed.  (We got these standing in line at Old Navy on Black Friday..)  Best. stocking. stuffer.




The black one is my favorite.  

And no family vacation or holiday would be complete without a trip to the ER or the Black Plague.  Poor Hannah spent the rest of Christmas and the day after laying on the comfy leather couch.  Flu?  Maybe.  We'll see who is next!

Besides Hannah, Evie's best playmate and bud, being out for the count, it was a superb Christmas with my peeps.  I loved being at my house that morning then at my home that day; the best of both worlds I love so much.  As always, thanks G and Poppop for hosting and letting the circus take over for 3 days.  xo

Such a merry Christmas! Loved being together, but so sorry if we brought the plaque. Tis the season.

Moustaches were so funny!
