A few Christmas highlights

Waiting while Grandpa checked to see if Santa came. This was very hard for the little man. We watched Max & Ruby and that helped a bit... but little man kept saying "Hanta!"


Going upstairs to check out the presents with Grandma.


Such a pretty sight! All the presents were everywhere. There's no order so unwrapping took forever. I loved it!


The first gift! Aunt Jessie knew just what the little guy would like.


Brobee! Fortunately there is an off switch.


Taking a break from presents to chill with Grandma and Maddie


Tool time


Kevin got his jacket stolen/lost the last time we were in Utah. He's been jacketless this entire trip so far. He was very excited for this present.


Had to be one of Andrew's favorite presents... too bad it belongs to Aunt Jess. Little man loved watching the balls go around and around. He didn't even want to eat them.


Jules chatting with Scott & Cat while we open presents. We missed them this year!


Who needs presents when you've got popcorn and M&Ms? I think he ate most of the container while we unwrapped our gifts.


Jules with her stylin new pearls from my dad. He has such good taste!


A new cozy blanket! Andrew lied down and pretended to go nigh-night. He sleeps with his blanket every night now.


Relaxing after all the present unwrapping was done.



I think Elise won the cute twin award for the day. I looked a little scary.


Wouldn't be Christmas without snuggies and a Chia Obama.


Mom with her annual Almond Roca box.


The penguin race was another hit. I think we need to buy 2 or 3 for our house.

Little man, "seriously mom, stop taking pictures"

Opening stocking presents.
The jumping dog got the little man tired for his nap.

On Christmas afternoon we headed over to Shari's house for more presents, playing, and treats.

Andrew is obsessed with this piano. He will play with the buttons and sounds forever.


Grandma's reindeer. We will all be excited when this toy goes away after the holidays. I think Andrew-man played the song 20 times... but we love watching him dance.

This Christmas was definitely more fun because Andrew was so excited about opening presents and all the decorations. We had such a fabulous day with our families! As usual, we got so many great presents and our families were more than generous.

Thanks for such a wonderful Christmas!
