On Christmas Eve, we always open one gift. Grandma T had taken J shopping at the dollar store and he had, very sweetly, picked out and wrapped presents for all of his family members (including Stout). He was SO excited for us all to open those gifts, so that was what we did for Christmas Eve this year. Here is J opening the present that he picked out for his little sister. She loved it, and there was no sweeter moment than when he gave it to her and her eyes lit up. Yep....AWWWWWWW!!!!!!
And, of course, J got to open some gifts that night too, here he's opening a very cool skiing moose ornament from Grandma A.

Christmas morning, J was very excited to see a snowboard and golf clubs from Santa...
...and a bionicle from very sweet friends L & K (visiting from NC)...
...and a Diego rescue pack...
Then we headed over to Grandma T's and opened gifts there. Here little A is getting a new doll from cousin B.
...and J with his remote control car.
Aunt J and Uncle M went bowling with a few of their nieces and nephews, so we joined them.
Hangin' with Aunt J.
The following week, the kids and I went to CA for my Grandma's 90th birthday party. All of my family was there, and it was fun to see everyone. Here are the kiddos enjoying some cake and the festivities.
