Christmas 1

Christmas Eve started out with breakfast at my mom and dad's. My brother was here from Missouri, which was great because I don't get to see my nieces and nephews near enough and it was great to have the whole family together :) The annual grandkid picture is always an adventure - here it is (and of course there were about 50 more too)

Then all the kiddos got to open gifts. The big highlights: a racetrack, a kitchen, and a dollhouse. Here the boys show off their gifts.

Abby and Kara play with Selah and her new dollhouse.

We had appetizer/snacks during the day followed by dinner in the evening. Then we had to celebrate birthdays for December & January - Andrew, Adam, Kristen, Abby, and Katie!

This little girlie was the first grandkid born in the group of new babies and she just turned 1 on December 6th! I cannot believe that in a few more months we will be celebrating Finn's first already too!

It was a long day at mom and dad's, but full of memories and time spent enjoying each other's company. The best part of the day: when kiddos took naps :) of course then we were just preparing food and things for the next round of chaos after they all woke up, but fun nonetheless! Christmas Day to come...
