This year we celebrated Christmas with my folks on Dec 26th. It was such a fun day full of laughter, relaxing, eating and loving one another! We were all spoiled beyond measure and the van was full up on the way home. More importantly, our love tanks were full up to overflowing.
My kids were most excited about their stockings!
He's decided he likes clear soda and it's become a huge treat that he gets occasionally!
Mia got Yummy Earth suckers in her stocking, which Aunt Lauren promptly opened and gave her. Spoiled much? :)
New insulated Dan's for dad.
A new puppy for Mia that she has a love/hate with. She loves it but she's sure not very nice to it!
A blowgun for Colby.
We got Emma egg decorating supplies!
Lance was there but I guess he kept himself tucked away from our cameras all day!
I made Mom and Dad an updated 18x24 wall collage from our new pictures that were taken this fall.
A new baby doll for Ameliya...
Xavier got a lamp and an alarm clock for his bedroom, among lots of other treasures like a TMNT jacket, sled, tool belt, parachute, Splinter action figure...
Natalee also got a sled (they are anxiously awaiting snow!), paints, markers, paper, Legos, comfy clothes (her favorite!!, including camo leggings!)...
Mia was spoiled too! Bongo singing drums, a rocking puppy and "pet puppy", her baby doll, comfy cotton PJs (they are so sweet on her!), a cutsie comfy outfit...
I'm excited about my new egyptian cotton bed blanket and quilt and my new clothes and grater attachment for my mixer! I got new jeans that are cute and comfy but not "mom" jeans. Yay!
Mike got a new bicycle and has already put some miles on it! Right now he's out taking mail to the post office on his bike. He also got a biker t-shirt that he'd had his eye on and a road kit in case his trusty Lumina breaks down on him on his commute.
The parachute! I was playing and trying to take pics!
Wrestle time with Papa!
Game time!
It was a great day! We stayed up too late, ate too much food, and laughed hard (can't ever laugh too hard, right!?).
Mike and I got most of the new things put away when we got home (late) which felt great the next morning! Xavier, of course, needed his new lamp and alarm clock and had new socks to sleep in too! He's such a hoot sometimes.
I pray all your Christmases are {were} as full of family and love as ours!! We have two more left to celebrate!!
