Our Christmas celebration started the weekend before with a trip to Indiana for my cousin's wedding. The kids looked adorable all dressed up but, of course, getting them to smile for a family picture was out of the question...so I just had to settle for one with the hubby and me. :)
They were, however, all smiles when we got the bubbles out!
Hanging out with Auntie Em.
Daddy and his little princess enjoying a dance together.
On Christmas Eve morning, we let the kids open their presents from us. Again, I tried to get a nice picture of the kids with their stockings this time, and again, I failed.
Oh well, at least Addie cheered up.
Luke with his Super Why puzzle.
Addison loved her new tiger puppet.
That afternoon we headed to Jonathan's parents' for the Athearn Christmas. All ten grandkids were excited to see what was under the tree!
Luke got some cool Legos.
Addison's not too sure about all the craziness.
We got to Indiana around 11pm Christmas Eve and of course opened our Christmas jammies!
Christmas morning we read the Christmas story while Luke re-enacted it with Meemaw's nativity set.
Next came stockings!
And then all the presents!!
Unfortunately, I got really sick Christmas night which put a damper on things. I wasn't able to go to church or to my mom's family Christmas Sunday. But by Monday morning I was feeling better and was able to enjoy the last bit of our time with my family before we headed home that evening. It was a wonderful Christmas weekend topped off by my sister's engagement! We're all so happy for her and her fiance. Merry Christmas everyone!!

Looks like you had a great time in spite of getting sick. Seems to be everyone's story this year for some reason :(
Glad you are feeling better...

It looks like a lot of fun! Too bad you got sick on Christmas Day. Nathaniel was able to hold out until the next evening, but he got the stomach thing too. Now it has moved on to the baby :( I'm glad you're feeling better.
Chris states you are corrupting your children with MEGABLOCKS. Take them back and get Legos for superior quality, says he!
