Merry Christmas!

With family spread out, we tend to do Christmas in waves. These are the photos from only 2 waves last year.

 

Here are the kids opening their new babies. They were very happy (and since they still haven't fallen apart a year later I'm happy as well).

Sweet son with his Papa T. dressing the baby.

This was a group photo from wave 1. We intended to do this with all of the groups, but completely forgot once we were overwhelmed with toys during wave 2. 


On Christmas morning after being told there were toys in their stockings, sweet daughter's response was, "Mama put toys in big socks when I sleeping and him sleeping." Guess she doesn't believe in Santa. Sweet son didn't care how they got there, he just wanted the toys. (No photos because all of the photos showed their names.)

The table is set for Christmas dinner. Rather than cooking, I ordered a meal from a local grocery store. It was wonderful and clean up was a snap.

They loved a photo album full of photos of themselves. 

Sweet daughter is getting some help from her Uncle B. to feed her baby.

Lincoln logs were also popular with both kids.

You would think we had 10 kids opening gifts, but it was just my 2. 

Clearly, they are the only grand kids in the family.

 

Of all of the toys they were given, the absolute favorites were boxes. Next year, we are just going to buy boxes and skip the toys. At least, that's the plan - haha.

Who cares about the toys inside the box? It fits his head so much better.

Uncle B. was tired after the drive to our house. Sweet daughter brought him a pillow and a couple of blankets before tucking him in and giving him a hug good night. 

Once family left, we all crashed in the living room. Christmas is overwhelming for everyone and this helped us get back to being relaxed and happy.

This is the best present ever. Though some days I am tempted to try returning them.
