Christmas at Grandma and Papa's.

Whew! I think this concludes our Christmas festivities. We headed over to my parents house for dinner and opening gifts. We all made out pretty well this Christmas. But more importantly, we got to have a lot of fun times with our families and made a lot of special memories.

Christmas at Grandma Patty's.

Another delicious Christmas meal! We had fun opening gifts and hanging out at Grandma Patty's!

Christmas at the Archers.

We headed over to the Archers for a delicious Christmas breakfast. We were so happy that we could all be together this year!

Bridget is so lucky that she got a Forever Lazy!

Christmas Morn.

We were late risers after the festivities from the night before! Colin was excited to look through his stocking and see if Santa ate his milk and cookies.

We headed downstairs to see what Santa had left. Colin wanted two things: A Yankee shirt and a clown jack-in-the-box. Santa delivered, and gave him the Bat cave as a bonus, because he was extra good this year!

Oh, and this year I got the most special gift of all...Kevin made me a scrapbook of the first year of our blog! Love!

Reindeer Food.

At school, Colin made some food to leave in the yard on Christmas Eve for the reindeer!

Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's.

It's loud. It's fun. It's boisterous. It's chaos at times. We laugh. We listen to the Snoopy Christmas CD. We eat way too much food, because we stuff our faces with enough appetizers that could count as a full meal, and then still insist on having a full dinner. It's hot, because all 21 of us cram into one room to open presents, with the fireplace going. We watch Christmas Story, for the bazillion time, and still laugh when Grandpa says "buttafinga!". We reminisce. And most importantly, the house is bursting at the seams with love. It's Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's!

No, they're not strangling eachother. They're dancing!

Colin is putting the ornament that he made at school on the tree!
