Our family gathers together

Last week we had our family Christmas.  We were suppose to do it the day after Christmas, but Zack was sick here and a couple of my nephews were sick there.  So, we decided it was best to postpone and get all the ‘icks’ out of the systems before we came together. 

So, last weekend we made the short trip to their house.  It was a nice casual gathering of family and simple foods.  After we ate, it was time for a quick floor clean up – remember there are two three year olds in this house, LOL - gather the kiddos, and open presents.  So, we got the little ones – a two year old and two three year olds – situated and started passing out the gifts.

Little Odie here was very anxious and tried to sneak a peek.  We kept telling him to wait, but he’d slooooowly and very quietly rip a little more.

Isn’t he too funny!!

This family likes to play games.  So we got the kids some new games to add to their library including Uno Moo for the littles.

Odie finally got his gift unwrapped!  He is definitely different than most kids – he truly enjoyed opening each gift and then examined each gift before being encouraged to move on to the next one.  Including the ornaments we gave him – he wanted them opened for inspection.

We thought it would be nice to get Lil’ Princess her own little tea set.  What little girl doesn’t have tea parties with her dollies?  Ok – mine didn’t, but there’s still hope for her.

Our nephew is the big UNO player in the house so we also got him a new version of UNO.

Mackenzie was excited about all the new craft kits her aunt found for her.  I had no idea Crayola has such a selection of kits – and at Target!

Uncle B sat down with his littles and played a round of UNO Moo.

I think Lil’ Man really liked the laptop Grandma & Grandpa got him.

It was a great visit and the kids had a great time hanging out with their cousins.
