Christmas at Papa Curtis's and Grandma Num's

After Christmas morning at home, we headed out to Papa Curtis's and Grandma Num's.  We were the first to arrive, as per normal, but soon aunties and uncles and sweet cousins arrived!

These boys....

We had a yummy brunch of breakfast pizza, sausage, monkey bread, and bacon and the kids played while we all took our turns filling up.

Showing Nannie their Game Boys.

When everyone was filled up, we opened stockings and then gifts.

16 stockings this year...

In no particular order...

A Playmobil bus for Theo...he loves playing with Playmobil at our house.

Easy to use accessible kitchen tools for Natalee...

Joint gifts for these little two...a Kindle...

and an Osmo!

A scratch off map of baseball parks for Lance...
He was able to scratch 9 right away...now he has a mission to visit the rest!

A new daily carry work backpack for Mike.  He wanted this so badly and he already has it packed!

Rain gear for Colby...

A game for Xavier...

Apparently I missed getting a picture of Emma!  Boo.

Our kiddos got experience gifts from both aunts/uncles...

from Nannie & Vance the little 2 got gift certificates for Build a Bear and the big 2 got gift certificates for Cinemax.

from Lauren and Lance they all got gift certificates to the Quincy theater.  We already have our shows picked!  We're going to Stuart Little and The Boxcar Children in 2019!!

For my birthday, I got 2 metal chairs for our dining room/school table, and for Christmas I got another 4.  Our wooden chairs were breaking, wiggling, and many of us were sitting in folding chairs.  It's so nice to have matching, sturdy chairs around the table again!  I also tried out my new french press coffee pot this morning - I think I'm in love!

Other memories from the day....we played games, played toys, ate too much, and had so much fun.

Potty party for these orneries...

Natalee tried out her new kitchen tools...

 

Always with Apples to Apples.  Natalee will beg until someone plays - usually me, dad, and her brother.

Checking out the Osmo... (Theo got the little white table and chairs.)

Daddy and Mia playing dollhouse...

Papa got a new rolling garage stool and the kids all loved it.

 

Our new hoodies!

The day was full of fun and love but it always goes too fast!  We're so grateful for family to build memories with!
