Christmas Continued

On Christmas Eve we went to an early candlelight service and then came home and made Christmas tree pizzas for dinner.  And then it was time for the much anticipated, by Gavin mostly, present time!  Mandy was much better at making a Christmas tree shape than I was.

It was quite a rushed present opening session due to the chilren.

Gavin and Audra and Hadley all go to open one present from Kevin and I on Christmas Eve, pajamas of course.  And then on Christmas morning they each had a few more presents from us.

Gavin's big present was a basketball hoop made by Kevin and Pops.

He was quite excited about it.  And couldn't wait to shoot hoops.

Audra got a new baby and a backpack on wheels, sounds silly but she is always stealing Gavin's.

And our little helper elf, slept the morning away.

And then we opened stockings.  This picture is not great quality, but I loved that Hadley was smiling.

And of course everyone joined us in their pjs for stockings and sweet roll!

The kiddos loved playing in their new castle from Uncle Jake and Auntie Hannah.

Then the Wallis' joined us for a late lunch and of course games and a white elephant gift exchange.  And I would like you to take special note of Gavin's clothes.  He is going through a phase where he wants to pick out his own clothes, mostly clothes with something to do with sports, but needless to say very random and not matching and often the same outfit for many days in a row.

And Ivy and Hadley got to meet for the first time.  It was hard to get a decent picture of the two of them, because they both decided they were starving when we wanted to take pictures.  Ivy was born a week before Hadley.

Audra enjoyed getting lots of snuggles from everyone.

Auntie Hannah and Uncle Cam played Gavin's new Cars game with the kiddos.  They thought it was quite fun.

Thank you everyone for a wonderful Christmas.  Even though our house may be a little crazy with our kids, we loved having everyone here to celebrate Christmas.  I wouldn't want it any other way.
