Our "tradition" is that we bust out of our house sometime around 8ish and don't return until bedtime that night... lots to do, people to see and fun to be had. And don't forget the FOOD. ;) First stop, the CountryRents for breakfast and this crew...
Breakfast done: Check Dishes done: Check Happy to open presents: CHECK CHECK
What you get when you try to make four kids 6 and under sit still after there are toys everywhere and "pose" with Nana and Grampa ;)
That's better. :)
I got a new CAMERA from Husband for Christmas!! My last one you had to practically stand on your head to take a picture because the battery part was broken. Trying out my new one with my favorite models :)
And then it was off to MIL's for yet MORE food and festivities!
The "crew" there minus the biggest one who was behind me during this picture saying "you are missing the oldest" :) and the youngest who was taking a nap in the truck ;) (can I get an AMEN?)
don't worry we saved her presents for her...
LOVE the little hands and feet :)
but who needs new toys when Brando has his phone? Ah... technology!
A WONDERFUL day spent with family ~ and remembering the reason for the season with all the fun mixed in. My favorite part of the day... in Husband's family his Dad always prayed before they opened presents. Since my FIL's graduation into heaven, Husband has taken over that roll. I love it. The one sentence that stood out to me (and I think all of us... ) "thank you for Your protection and the year that was instead of the year that could have been...."
more on that later...
