Christmas at Home!

We celebrated Christmas as a family before we headed off to Auburn. And in honor of our celebrating we began with a Christmas tree shaped pizza. Gavin was more concerned with showing off his muscles. (He's not so much into taking pictures these days, he will say cheese but then look every direction but the camera. And he will say cheese instead of smiling, so we come up with creative things to get his attention, example "show me your muscles", and then we get pictures like this.)

Miss Audra was loving the pizza and is always good for a big smile.
Our lovely large tree, it was so big our lights only went half way up the tree and I never was able to get more, so we just never turned the lights on. And our beautiful stockings handmade by Grammy.
Carrying on Floch tradition Gavin was sent down the stairs and awaiting him under the tree was one unopened gift. Audra also came down but didn't know the difference of course. We opened presents from each other and from the Grammy & Pops.
"Prents", that what Gavin called them and was waiting quite impatiently to tear into every present under the tree.

He was screaming "BBBUUUZZZ!" when he opened his new pj's from Grammy & Pops. He was quite excited.

Audra was really excited about her cute new red skirt.

I think after this Christmas I would have to say it is way more exciting and fun to watch my children open presents than to open my own. They just get so excited and have the best reactions. Gavin was completely hyped up on presents and screamed about everything. "BBOOOOTBALLL!" He sat looked through this funny book for several minutes screaming at every page.

Audra also got some new jammies, her were of course, disney princesses.

Everyone busy opening. Kevin is quite excited about her Gonzaga baskeball shorts.

So many toys . . . a power tools set . . .

"QQUUUEEEN" And a very cool Lightening McQueen sleeping bag.

goggles . . . for safety while using the power tools . . .

in their stocking they each got a hat . . . don't let the smile fool you, he's not excited about the hat, but the CARS magnets in his hand.

Gavin got busy right away putting his tools to work, drilling the entire house, but mostly the walls.

Thank you for all the wonderful gifts.
