Christmas fun with Grandpa and Grandma

Davina made the kids robes and they turned out so cute!

We asked Grandpa to get out the santa costume...which was so fun...until Ellie freaked out.

We ended up going back up home and then coming back down on Christmas day for presents. We first read an advent story, then we opened presents:

We spent a lot of time playing with presents:

And chilling...

We spent the last day doing some super fun sledding...

We had so much fun at Thanksgiving and I never blogged about it! The trip down there went pretty well.

Andy got mad at Jay and wrote about it in a notebook...

We had some good times before cousins came...Bakery!

Dad got out his super cool new homemade leaf blower for gutters:

The weather was pretty nice so we spent a good deal of time outside.

Presents, crafts and parties were lots of fun.

We also played dress up, chilled and played with lots of balloons:

We also went to Rock the Spectrum and got a bunch of energy out:

Dad gave us really awesome Roasting sticks!

We enjoyed some great food and fun decorations:

So much fun!
