our festivities began with brunch at papa wally's house.
we ripped into presents and ate and were happy and cheerful.
the kids decorated gingerbread men.
then we headed to a beautiful christmas eve service with my mom and cousins. we ended the night at my sisters house.
of course the cousins all had matching pajamas. we ate again and ended the evening playing a mean game of charades, kids included.
and a cute christmas baby just for your enjoyment.
and then santa came to our house. the santa that comes to our house does not wrap the kid's gifts (that would be way too expensive and take santa way too long,this is all our kids have ever known so it is not weird to them). the twins were blessed with their very first ever (mom and dad caved) gaming systems (we said we would never buy one). they each got a ds and tatum got a bike. a toy, or craft, a book, a movie and some practical things in their stockings: undies, bath gel, you know all that good stuff.
the loot....(that pillow pet was not a present)
and a mug for everyone to enjoy. from my most favorite store, anthroplologie, santa is the best.
danny and the kids made me this mug. i adore it.
after enjoying the morning as a family we headed to my sisters again for breakfast, in our pajamas of course. we spent most of the rest of the day in our pajamas. i got to talk with my brother in michigan and my sweet niece juna. we ended the celebrations with dinner at papa ken and grammies. more eating and enjoying family. my heart was full.
