This year I had planned for one Christmas celebration with all of the family, but we ended up having three. It was really fun though.

On Christmas day it was just the five of us, and it was great, even though we were still feeling a bit sickly from the flu.

The big kids have this present-opening-thing down.

They tore through wrapping paper as fast as they could.

Even the Little Miss tried her best at tearing apart the red wrapping paper.

All of the kiddos (James included) loved the Yo Gabba Gabba! tent. It was really cool, and has become a hide-out in the boy’s room.

I got some pretty rad gifts from my hubby. He is the best.

When it was New Year’s eve Grandma joined us for some more holiday fun. The kiddos couldn’t wait to see her.

Oh yes, there were more gifts to open, and two bouncing boys that were having a blast.

The Little Miss was getting better at opening gifts too.

We had a fantastic afternoon filled with food, fun, and lots and lots of presents. We had to call the evening short though, snow looked like it was moving in, and we wanted to make sure that Grandma was home before the weather turned.

New Year’s Day we had one more Christmas celebration. This time it was with Nana and Uncle Rob.

The kiddos were beyond excited to see Uncle Rob, and Nana too ( now I’m going to be in trouble) Just in case you didn’t know, he is my super-rad brother.

More presents, and the promise of Wii, Thade was a happy-camper.

Dylan was all smiles.

Agnes loved her Hello Kitty blanket from Uncle Rob. It is so cute, I’m asking for one for my birthday.

We had a fun day, and ended up hanging out in the dining-room catching up over tasty goodies, and laughing about everything.

Thanks again to all of our family for such wonderful holidays! Love you all!
