Christmas seemed to last a week around here. It all started with D's family on Saturday. Mine on Monday. Our own on Wednesday. And my Mom's side the following Saturday.
As d's parents are currently living in an apartment we offered to host again. It was so much fun.
Grandma and Grandpa always wrap tons of goodies and there socks (well stockings this year due to the move and packed away items) are overflowing with them. Plus we even get stockings full. Spoiled. Yes. Loved. Even more. We try and let each kid open presents one at a time but we are at 7 grandkids and patience was tough for the big boys since they are next to last. But they did it.
We always have a blast and the kids love playing together. It just makes it so much fun to have cousins close by that we get to see often enough to be good friends.
Then Monday...we celebrated with my family.

Then there was the crazy big gift that only my mom can and would do. Yes. Three power wheel dune buggies. Great black friday deal. And one for each family.
Of course there was snow on the ground. So where to ride. Oh. How about the gym above my dad's work. Brilliant. We took two and we definitely need some practice. The poles and net seemed to pose a little bit of a problem but they seemed to get the hang of it.
And of course just some random photos from my phone. Love spending time with all our nieces and nephews. We are growing and it just gets more and more fun.
