christmas

I love our tree!

 Christmas eve dinner at my fam's with P. playing with a magnifying glass!

 The Christmas story...

 S. and my little sister making a blackberry cobbler for dessert...it was quite hilarious watching and hearing these two, while I was getting stuff ready for christmas day, church, and heading to S.'s fam...

 Christmas morning!

 C.'s 1st Christmas...

 Fruit snacks and fishies...doesn't get much better than that for E.

 P. got the lego ninjago lighthouse from Santa...

 N. got a lego ferrari formula 1 racing team truck...

 E. got paw patrol toys galore...

 N. loved his awesome soccer cleats...P. thought it was weird that N. got shoes...

 P.'s presents all revolved around legos especially ninjago...he actually said at one point in a complaining voice...mom, all I'm getting is legos...then he thought for a moment...well I guess that is all I asked for...silly boys...that's all you ever play with!

 This is C. saying I'm done and ready for a nap...me too, C.

 E. was really excited for his own balance bike--he is always riding P.'s

 All ready for church...E. would not get in the picture unless he was on his bike...this sounds bad, but I was not looking forward to fitting in church on Christmas, but honestly, it was really good and a great way to celebrate Jesus...N. said it was the most spiritual sacrament meeting he's been too.

 Building their new legos at Oma's house...

 P.'s dragon...

 E. with his cousin...

 Oma has a yummy grazing table set up which E. loved--he found himself a cookie here...

 After two crazy days of festivities, this is how E. looked when I put him in bed after falling asleep on the way home from oma's...

 On the other hand, this is how C. looked after a catnap in the car with her new dollie...

 This is the aftermath of present opening that we came home too as we didn't have enough time to clean it up before we left for church and familys...

 N.'s finished set...

 P. may have not got Santa for Christmas, but Santa does have a sense of humor and gave him a chocolate Santa in his stocking...

 N. got a mario kart video game and all the boys love it...

 Mustache smash is also a fun game P. got...

 Hanging at the park with S.'s brother and fam...

 P.'s finished ninjago lighthouse...

 N.'s lego technic truck...

 Mustache smash with S.'s fam...

 C. with her cousin...

 Gingerbread house...

 New Years Eve was lower key than normal due to me and some other little nieces getting sick, but we were still able to have a pizza night, special drinks, some fun at our neighbors new years eve party, and an early netflix countdown for the kids...
