Last Saturday we celebrated Christmas with my side of the family. Yes in January. The kids patiently waited for Auntie Lisa and Kady to come over, and when they finally did, it was a race for the bigger kids to go upstairs (we wouldn't let them in the kids play area).
And that was why - too much temptation to go snooping where little eyes shouldn't go. Isn't that a plethora of stockings?! Nearly all of them were cross-stitched by Mom over the years. Next up on the stockings to be finished... Adrina, then Rana. Mom has her work cut out for her... but back to the story at hand.
We opened stockings oldest to youngest. Of course it doesn't help to ask my 4 year old who is the next oldest - it was a blur for him after the kids. I mean he had Grammy going before me I believe....
Here Kady opens her stocking...
Then Drew...
After stockings and dinner it was time to open presents. This year we let the kids each open one at a time simultaneously. The thought was to speed up the lengthy presents opening and let the kids go play with their new stuff while the adults open their gifts. It also meant less opportunity for me to snap pictures. Here's what I got...
And Grammy relaxing after all presents were opened. She went up and down the stairs quite a bit that she used her new wine fridge as a foot stool. Poor Grammy is getting old and her knees aren't what they used to be.
It was a fantastic day with family and of course everyone was spoiled rotten!
