Christmas at Papa's and Grandma Num's

After church on Christmas day we gathered at Papa and Grandma Num's to celebrate our Christmas.  Again, it never seems long enough...never.  I enjoyed the day we had together, though.  We balanced baby naps with food and gifts and had a great day visiting and playing!
 Stockings for 15 people!  So much work but so fun - we all pitch in!
 All Mia wanted for Christmas was blue gloves.  When I asked her if Santa was bringing them she said "no, Papa is!"
{Santa doesn't fill stockings at Grandma and Papa's - we do!}
Happy girl.  We went around the table last night and had each child tell the favorite thing they received for Christmas and she quickly replied "blue gloves!"
Gifts for 15 is organized chaos. I love it.  We go in order from youngest to oldest for awhile, and then the kids get restless so we let them just open.  It's loud, it's messy, it's awesome.
 We got beanbags for Colby & Emma.
My favorite gift - wait until you see how we're going to use this!  I'm SO excited!!!
Grandma and Papa got the baby boys these little fold out couches.  What a hit! 
Papa and Zayden playing Winnie the Pooh...
New toys for Teddy...
 Fresh nails - the girls got polish in their stockings!
 Mia got to have her nails painted because she quit sucking on her fingers!
Gigi loves this Teddy...

"Hey, boys, let's take a sweet picture of you in your matching Christmas onesies from Nannie on one of your new couches."
 They think we're both going to smile and sit nice at the same time.  They're hilarious."

Teenagers + Gigi + Lorn Lorn...these two will always be the "first." 
And they are growing up on us...

Piles and piles of people....and love.
